TSA pat-downs.

Fuck that. I would have thrown them across the fucking room. You want 'em? Go fucking get 'em!

IN Maureen Dowd's opt-ed NY, Nov 21: Nuking the White House: "And on Friday, as Americans were rebelling against groping airport pat-downs, the soon to be speaker of the House, who was supposed to travel like real Americans, put himself above the madding crowd.
The Time's Jeff Zeleny was on the scene and reported that John Boehner did not wait in line or go through security: he 'was escorted around the metal detectors and body scanners, and taken directly to the gate.'
So much for Reagan's trust but verify. Now we've got distrust and vilify"

And you think Nancy Pelosi traveled like a real American? Might want to pick a better example next time.

I think that anyone who is third in line in case the President or the Vice Pres. cannot perform their duty's deserves a jet. In case he or she had to perform our countrys duty which would probably be in a time of peril. John Boehner's action on refusing a government jet to me is just pure politics, recklessness, plus a strong measure of buffoonery to boot with his knee jerk reaction.

In which case Mr Boehner would probably get a jet. Ever think he refused a private jet to save tax payers money? Also he can probably skip the pat downs due to the fact that secret service is accompanying him, and well armed to boot.

I think it would have been a bad photo-op for John Boehner on having his dick and balls fondled. HELL, some of us "average Joe's" have to go thru that process at an airport, why can't he?
Third, I think it is irresponsible for the third in line, not to have a personel government jet in these trying times.
Also, in case of our country's peril, the third in lines jet should be on-line, gassed-up and ready to go at all-times!

What's irresponsible is the amount of spending and expansion of government thanks in majority to the libs. What's irresponsible is letting the terrorists win. All of these security measures will not stop a terrorist attack without the aid of profiling. Just one more step to make us Americans "feel" safe. We are not safe and never will be until all of these terrorist groups are wiped out. The gov't and TSA answers to this supposed problem are one more nail in the coffin to our freedom. The TSA has never once stopped a terrorist attack. All they have done is inconvenience us.

[clublights]

with all the bitching we do on this board about how the government wastes money .....You'd think we would be happy he is saving money.........

Now for all the worried about and "what if's" the Secret Service and the Department of Defense are in the being paranoid business.. I'm sure they have plan's and planes ready to go at the drop of a hat. it's what they do.

[jmg8550]

Agreed.

Especially with all the "carbon emissions" Boehner is saving.

Profiling might work in a little country like Israel, but it will be impossible to work here in the United States because of the sheer number of flights. Sweden has a new scanner that does not show private parts, which I would advise the Administration on getting. Just be thankful they have not gone on to rectal probing yet, which would cause the collapse of the airline industry. Its just a matter of time when a rectal bomb will get thru U.S. security. Or maybe we should just look-out for a person who walks around looking like he has a banana stuck-up the old asshole, like, firmly parked between his two cheeks!
