Just pass gas on them when they’re doing the ankle-frisk (and their face is arse-level). The searches will become progressively less invasive as the movement grows...
I’m such a child...
It’s a big to do over nothing. Palm in, palm out, it’ll be over before you know it.
We could all fill books with reasons the TSA as an entity and its staffers as individuals are a failure and a waste of time and money but this type of thing is, sadly, perhaps the only thing that may get some of the sheep out there to wake up.
I was in Oklahoma last week. I left out of Tulsa. They have the new body scanners there. I opted out of the screening and chose the pat down. They offered to take me to a private room, I declined. Let the spectacle it is be shown.
The TSA is radical Islam’s greatest success.
I travel alot and it sucks-—even if you get used to it.
Especially at a busy airport and rushed through then gathering your items after the frisk. Too much Govt interference.
While failing to discern the true cause of airline terrorism thus far, all the same identical source that those in charge utterly refuse to identify, but which is known by all of us, including Juan Williams.
I have a friend who's a retired airline pilot. He retired about 10 years ago and hasn't flown since then.
I'm taking a vacation over the coming Thanksgiving holiday, and will drive for two days, each way, to avoid flying.
When the RATs were whining and lying about Bush stripping us of our civil rights, but couldn’t actually name any freedoms they had lost...
This is the main thing I noticed. I still hate it.
Enough is enough, just profile and harass the damned muslims.
I am never flying again, but if I do... "That Guy" will be me.
This is going to have a serious impact on the Japanese tourist trade to Hawaii if it is true. The first time a Japanese woman gets excessively man-handled by a TSA goon, the brown organic matter will most definitely hit the rotary air impeller.
Here’s my solution:
1. Let them pat you down publicly.
2. When they get into a sensitive area, give a little jump like a hair got caught in a zipper and say “Ow!” loud enough that others nearby can hear it.
(BTW, there’s no scientific basis whatsoever that these body scanners are safe. No research. No testing of animals over long periods of time with larger radiation doses. Nothing. Nada. Zip. The Feds are just saying that. “Oh sure, of course it’s safe. I’ll opt for the public patdown plus a little theatrics. But mainly I’ll opt not to fly at all any more.)
If you go through the scanner and they think they see something, you get pat down anyway, so what’s the point?
The radiation from these things is enough for me to never walk through one. Just wait till TSA starts getting workers’ comp complaints of “officers” (they are glorified baggage handlers with police power) that may start having higher rates of cancer being around those machines.
TSA == Tough Sh1t, A55ho1e
I, for my part, will never fly again. There is nowhere that I could ever want to go that is more important to me than my dignity. Too bad so many don't have the luxury of making that choice.
Actually, just last week, my brother was patted down after going through the naked body scanner thing. He was pulled aside and discreetly told that they needed to pat down his...ahem...groin area and asked if they wanted to go to a private area or in front of everyone. He opted for some privacy and there was one patter downer and two observers. They patted him down and then he was on his way.
