TSA pat-downs.

[funkfool]

People act like its a right to get on an airplane, I think its a priveledge.

It is not a right to go to the tavern, or walk down the street, or drive...
But I'll be damned if I'm gonna let government sponsored and approved goons grope me to do those things either...
The 4th Amendment...
Read it, know it, live it.
Pay special attention to the case law on Blanket Searches...

Ooooo. I started a good one.

Yes. You have.

Hitler made the people feel safe.

And he kept the Jews warm too... that didn't work out too well for them...

There is not enough outrage over this...
I have an idea...
Use standard police investigative procedures...
Wife dead?
Where is the husband?
It's called results based profiling.
Because it works.
Ever heard of Occam's razor... the principle of unnecessary plurality?

You can't make me.

I accept your challenge

NAPOLITANO: THE BALL’S IN MY COURT NOW
by Ann Coulter

short excerpt:

You can't stop a terrorist attack by searching for the explosives any more than you can stop crime by taking away everyone's guns.

In the 1970s, liberal ideas on crime swept the country. Gun owners were treated like criminals while actual criminals were coddled and released.
If only we treated criminals with dignity and respect and showed them the system was fair, liberals told us, criminals would reward us with good behavior.

As is now well known, crime exploded in the '70s. It took decades of conservative law-and-order policies to get crime back to near-1950s levels.

It's similarly pointless to treat all Americans as if they're potential terrorists while trying to find and confiscate anything that could be used as a weapon.
We can't search all passengers for explosives because Muslims stick explosives up their anuses. (Talk about jobs Americans just won't do.)

You have to search for the terrorists.

As BG said People are sheep, alot of them seem to be on here.

They will buy into it in the name of so called safe travel.
God help us when the SHTF because most that talk can't do the walk and will be herded away with the rest.

[StagLefty]

Relax Stuart, Relax...

And remember, you can't say "Bomb" on a plane!

Or "Hi Jack"

[Irving]

I think that people aren't necessarily buying into it because it makes them feel safe, well the stupid ones obviously will, but more because they need/want to go some where and flying is their option. Many people don't have the time to drive across the country.

[CrufflerSteve]

It's just going to show that the terrorists have won. We are so terrorized that we're willing to spend billions and lose our dignity on methods to prevent things that have happened. A retard tries to blow up his shoes. He makes it past these professionals and the passengers stop him. Another dumbass tries to blow up his underpants and now we're going through Dick Measuring Devices or getting molested by the TSA. Just wait for an ass bomber!

This is the punishment for refusing the nude body scan for passengers who don't want to appear nude on live video or are worried about the skin cancer risk of the machines -- risks acknowledged by the very Johns Hopkins study touted by the government.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that we need to keep the government as far away from airport security as possible, and not only because Janet Napolitano did her graduate work in North Korea.

scary because its true... and funny for the same reasons.

5 years from now, a Television commercial from a "Non-Attorney Spokesperson."

"Did you fly, were you nude scanned? do you now have Melanoma or any other form of skin, bone or internal cancer? call now and we can get you compensation for your pain and suffering."

So when your taxes increase 450,000% to pay for the health care and compensation costs of your false safety, remember, They didn't catch anyone.

and lemme tell you, I have had many relatives die of cancer, that's some ghastly painful and expensive shit.



Back to topic.
I Agree that a 5 minute conversation would be more revealing while less invasive.

Note to TSA:

Muslims, or people with Muslim sounding names, are the ones you should be concerned with. Leave Mr and Mrs Average American alone already.

Fuckers...

[Bailey Guns]

And another thing...

I don't like the idea of the chick wearing the hijab checking boarding passes and IDs at the screening area at DIA.

If that makes me a bad person, well...I can live with that.
