Unfortunately most will submit. I know I will have to submit. I have a security clearance and don’t want to lose it when traveling for the government.

If flying on my personal time I would definitely refuse.

We need a real rosa parks moment.

Just sent a letter to Delta that they lost four flights this coming year. They need to get lobbying.

The first mistake was leaving the secured area. That just gives TSA another shot at you. The person checking ID/boarding passes may have remembered you or you ID’ed your self by casual conversation as a re-enter. That just makes it more likely for a secondary screening episode. The TSA may be pure lard inside but have 12” of armor plate up front. They are well equipped for a direct confrontation.

I am not saying what the TSA is doing is right or the Napoleon wannabe supervisor handled the situation well. Its just that they are low on the food chain along a attitude to match and are doing what they are told.

Their reflex reaction is always up the ante and to involve a LEO as muscle.

I can imagine it.

Barack Obama and Janet Napelitano would tell their agents to stop it because illegals can do whatever they want in the United States while they go out of their way to limit the rights of American citizens.

This is the nature of the evil liberal beast in all its forms.

I was considering putting on a strap on :-) or as someone in another thread suggested...wear a kilt without underwear.
And to kick it up a notch...throw a liberal amount of KY or Vaseline on the hangdown :-)

And the reason dressing as a muslim and carrying a koran would work is because some balsy muslims before you stood up to the system. The right needs to learn a few lessons about real social hand-to-hand combat from the left.

I AM a lawyer!

Well if even YOU guys are intimidated, we are finished.

I thought you guys salivate at the chance to nail an egregious violator of Constitutional liberties?

Or is the Constitution that far-gone already?

I wonder what would have happened if after declining the pat down search if you instead offered to drop your drawers and raise your shirt for a visual inspection instead of the groping? You know at my age it is a way of getting even, what has been seen can not be unseen, they would have to live with that image for the rest of their lives!

I am of the call a lawyer opinion, but it seems they separated him from his phone.

So the thug claimed he was about to commit some 'crime' for not allowing himself to be sexually assaulted. At the very least, when being accused of this, it would be best your attorney is involved and speaks for you to the "authorities" rather then you attempt to handle it on your own. Maybe you should refuse to speak with them until they contact your attorney for you if your phone isn't handy. If they treat you like a common criminal then they need to deal with your attorney, not you.

I’m going to tell them I don’t feel comfortable being touched by a guy and request someone of the opposite sex.

And ask for clean gloves and a doctor to perform the "examination".

The disparity between these searches and the treatment of illegals by the federal government is simply stunning.

I wonder how we have survived for so long (during the Bush Adm) without having to be molested at the airport before boarding?

Maybe if the TSA (Obama Adm) figured out who the real enemy is normal citizens would go about our daily lives without this crap!

We had it with the 'don't touch my junk' man. He was escorted from the airport and the TSA director in LA says the TSA is going to 'probe' him further and said he is liable for a fine exceeding $10,000.

When you sue the Feds, the Feds have to agree to be sued. It makes that a bit tougher.
