More feel-good bullshit brought to you by the TSA. The only thing TSA is capable of doing is reacting after an incident. Apparently no one in that organization possesses the ability or the will to do the things that will keep us safe.
This nonsense about checking every passenger in this manner is ridiculous. I don't recall the last time an 86 year old used his Medal of Honor to attack someone on a plane yet Joe Foss was harassed by TSA for 45 minutes prior to boarding in Phoenix. Little old ladies with knitting needles aren't the types that worry me getting on airplanes.
I was in Reno and watched TSA scumbags insist on removing a prosthetic leg from a 3 year old girl without the parents assistance. They weren't allowed near the girl because of "security reasons". The poor kid was terrified. Mom wanted to give the little girl her blanket while she was subjected to this and a TSA agent threatened to have her arrested if she approached the child. If you've flown in the last 9 years you've seen the idiocy and the abuses first hand.
I've seen people in US Military uniforms subjected to "additional random screening"...usually female.
TSA...the US government...American society in general...needs to buy a freakin' clue. These aren't the people who are trying to kill us.
How about we tell CAIR and other pro-Muslim organizations (like the white house) to go fuck themselves and start profiling passengers who look middle-eastern and have Muslim names? Subject them to "additional" and "enhanced" screening once in a while. And leave the majority of the traveling American public to go about their business in peace.
I would rather not have TSA even in existence...especially with the way they conduct business by bullying and harassing innocent people...than what they're doing now in the name of security. What a fucking joke they are.
I don't need the government violating my privacy or my family's privacy in the name of security...regardless of whether or not flying on an airplane is a right or a privilege.
