Hands On Boy

A reality of THE GROWING OUTRAGE, as reported by Matt Drudge and also on YouTube Video, a man with a little boy, showing an angry father handing over to a TSA person, even though the little boy did not set off any possible alarms, the little boy in question was chosen for a pat-down. Frankly, I CANNOT BLAME the boy’s father for this because this must have also scared the little kid in the process.

1) I am not your friend.
2) There are other modes of travel; you’d have plenty of time to get other arrangements by January. Flying is a privilege, not a right.
3) When there is incident of a finger INSIDE the ass or in the vagina, then it can truly be called sexual assault, rape or whatever. People being groped, clothed, while an inconvenience, and in my opinion, overstepping and NOT RIGHT, is hardly rape or sexual assault.
Look, I don’t like it, either. I’m not siding with them AT ALL. They need to profile. If the Muzzies don’t like it, or it’s against their whatever, they need to get over that because they are HERE. It was THEIR people in the name of THEIR religion that made all this bullshit possible. I think a lot of things they are doing is screwed up. I just think we’re going a bit overboard with the ‘I’m gonna file a suit if they touch my......’. I guess where I’m going with this is the litigious mind overrides common sense in this case. Our court systems are already backed up beyond belief with frivolous cases. While I’m not saying all airport ‘molestation’ charges are going to be unfounded, going into a facility where you KNOW you have the probability of being searched or scanned and then scream foul when it does happen just doesn’t make sense to me, especially when there is no lasting damage. I suppose mental anguish could be lasting, but if we sued for every thing that mentally anguished us we’d all be rich.
4) A differing opinion makes me a Marxist now, does it? I don’t think so.

I was at an BOS end of last week picking up a relative and the exit from the terminal area is not too far from the security screen entrance. I will be honest with you pat downs were not visible because their hands were wide open and running all over the passenger's bodies, trust me when I tell you if my wife or older daughter get touched by anyone in that manner someone is going to get back handed and not by me. I disagree with your assessment regarding molestation charges. I was speaking to a local attorney this weekend who doesnt handle these cases but shared with me that you can expect cases within 2 weeks. If they find one bad back ground on one TSA agent that will be grounds for massive lawsuits against agents, even if they are indemnified.

I wonder why there would be TSA agents with bad backgrounds? What I’m saying is, aren’t they supposed to check BEFORE letting them loose on civilization, to avoid precisely what you described?

"I am NOT siding with TSA"

Yes, you are.

"everybody KNOWS this going in"

That doesn't make it OK.

if you have a problem with it, DO NOT FLY

That is exactly the control and response they want.

Are you sure this is the complacent path you want to take?

[ThePatrioticArtist]

Again, I’m not siding with TSA. Are you calling me a liar?
Please tell me ANYWHERE in either of my replies where I say it is ok. You can’t, because I NEVER said it was ok.
I still stand by my comment, if you don’t like their policies, don’t fly. If anything, after a while,if enough people quit flying, and they tied it to this reason, the possibility is there that they would go out of business.
There are many other, although slower, modes of travel.
I’m not complacent at all; it’s just if I know there is a place I may be subjected to something I don’t like, I will avoid that place and find another route. I see the danger zone, I don’t go to danger zone.

Well, you’ve had your rant. Now try to answer the salient points I posed:

1. Does this unwanted sexual attack catch or deter terrorists?
2. Is this unwantd sexual attack a crime?
3. Will you volunteer to be the first person cavity checked by a bunch of unqualified perverts in public?

As for flying being a priviledge—that’s pure and unadulterated goverment propaganda. I’ve done some Googling. I found nothing credible to substantiate that claim. Perhaps you could enlighten me. And while we’re at it I suppose, in your opinion, riding a bus or train is also a priviledge? And what about walking down the street? Is that a priviledge, too? Not—unless you believe that all rights come from the government not our “creator”. Only Marxist’s believe that.

"The sad case of Germany should be a reminder to the English-speaking world that a nation admirable in so many ways, the heart of the Holy Roman Empire, the cradle of the Reformation, could become so corrupt - that the land of Dichter und Denker (poets and thinkers) could degenerate into the land of Richter und Henker (judges and hangmen).

From Thomas Sowell's 2005 book "Black Rednecks and White Liberals", Page 201:

The racial fanticism of Hitler and the Nazi movement, which spread to the German generation of their day and led ultimately to the Holocaust, were not historically distinct characteristics of Germans as a people. On the contrary, the rise of such a man as the leader of such a people should serve as a permanent warning to all people everywhere who are charmed by charisma or aroused by rhetoric (emphasis mine - DW)

I believe in G-d, and I believe in our Constitution. I was meaning there is nowhere in our Constitution that guarantees a person’s right to fly, specifically. It is something that, if you have an interest in participating in, you have the freedom to pursue it ( as well as reject it), but it is not a Constitutionally guaranteed thing. That’s what I meant.

If you question that, maybe you need to quit calling other people Marxists and take a look in the mirror.

Have a great evening! :)

Yes, the case of Germany stands as an object lesson for those who care to see it. Leftists are too busy wrongly conflating the right with the National Socialists.

Ironically, the lesson’s lost on those who will be first consumed by the mosnters they applaud and vote into power.

Sowell’s one of the best and brightest intellects of our time. I have almost all of his books, including the one you mention. They are source of reference and inspiration; a reminder to see clearly and to always speak the truth.
