Two weeks ago, my wife flew alone out to Colorado with our two young children. Unaware that the TSA had instituted new and incredibly invasive new security procedures, my wife called me distressed after getting frisked by the TSA. Or as my wife put it, “in some cultures I would be married to my screener by now.” She was joking, but make no mistake — my wife was incredibly disturbed by how intimate a security pat down she received.
So here’s my not-so-modest proposal: If the President’s Homeland Security department is so adamant that this is the absolute best way to prevent terrorism, I think the President and his family should voluntarily submit to one of the new invasive pat down procedures. I know the Obamas don’t fly commercial at all these days, so they should probably get a pretty good idea what the rest of us are putting up with.
The President and his family — preferably with DHS Secretary Janet “The system worked” Napolitano — should show up at Dulles or Reagan airport on a weekday with a camera crew in tow, as airport pat downs are typically done in full view of hundreds of travelers. All of America will to see the TSA handling the President’s crown jewels. Then a rubber-gloved federal agent will run his hands all over his wife and daughter’s privates while he watches. Then I want him to turn to the camera and tell all of America that this is no big deal and we should all be good citizens and comply with the necessary security procedures.
It only seems fair.
thousands standing around. TSA
It’s no big deal for him because there’s nothing there to see.
My plane flight tickets have been cancelled. Screw flying. Furthermore, it is past time for Republicans to haul Janet Incompetino before a panel and beat her until she rescinds the Airport Rape Gang Act.
TSA: Like a rapist, PROUD of their hands working all over you.
If everyone stopped flying they would get the message
Interesting that it was the Dems who wanted the airport screeners to be government employees. Kinda back-fired in this case.
Can’t check out a muslim that would be profiling so obama gets a free pass to bomb the US!
He would giggle just like a little bitch
It is patently obvious the abusive pat downs are meant as a “punishment” for dissidents who refuse to submit to the scanner. That is all it is. It is the TSA saying, “F you, if you won’t SUBMIT to screening, we will make your life hell. We will break you.” That is all this is. I would love a disgruntled TSA big wig to produce a memo or meeting minutes revealing this.
It is a stark intimidation tactic. TSA intimidation, period.
People need to put a stop to this immediately. This is abuse of power, and nothing less than abuse of power. This has nothing whatsoever to do with security. They intend to break the public into submitting to the scanners. Once broken, they will be easier to break for the next level of control.
Yes, because everyone flies for leisure.
Thousands Sexually Assaulted. Daily. It is a pervert’s dream job.
No TSA officer wants to grope Michelle Obama. Heck, not even Barry wants to grope Michelle.
I doubt it. It would only spur them to
1) celebrate the demise of the carbon belching planet destroying airline industry
2)Call for increased funding for their precious choo choos.
“If everyone stopped flying they would get the message”
Maybe that’s their ultimate goal.
I called my Congressman’s local and DC offices today and gave them my take on this outrage. Please call your elected Elitist at:
1-202-225-3121
Ask for the Ruling Class Elitist of your choice and give them your take on this sexual assault on the American people.
If everyone stopped flying they would get the message

Which is why I think this is a dual message from Obama. They want us treated like sheep....we become outraged (rightly so)....the airline industry suffers, loses $$$$, and closes. Nationalization, baby!
Cloward.......
Piven........
You know the rest.
Maybe that’s their ultimate goal.
The new TSA star chamber couple with the return of $3.00 gasoline makes it pretty clear that the "goal" is to END travel as we have known it.
