Nearly a decade after 9/11, airline flight is still a major theater of the War on Terror. After nearly a decade, we should ask, who are the functional terrorists?
You have an alternative, if you wish to travel by airline. You may either experience voyeurism of a sort no neighborhood peeping Tom can accomplish, that which actually sees through your clothing, or, if you prefer, you may subject yourself to the groping of your sexual anatomy.
"Subject" is the operative word. We are being trained and operationally conditioned, as if in a Skinner Box, at being subjects of our government. Resist and you may not travel; submit and you may fly. That is the classical or operant conditioning model of punishment and we are being treated like lab rats.
Are you learning your lesson? Big Brother is not only watching you, it is watching you naked -- and it is reaching out to make it clear in no uncertain terms, that between it and you, government has "the upper hand."

You know, with nearly a third of the nation obese, I would not want to be patting down passengers daily.
You know with this sort of govt sanctioned deviant behavior — I think the entire population of the U.S.A. should become obese just so these neanderthals don’t get their jollies.
This was a sneak attack on the airline industry.
One more notch on the O’s belt of destruction.
Why can’t we just make people eat a pulled pork sandwich in plane view before bording??
This is a case where the oligarchs are making useful victims out of both the travelers and the TSA workers. With the TSA people, they are being prgrammed to do as the oligarchs tell them to do ... and they will be protected, paid well, and guaranteed comfy retirement (regardless of whether they ever reach retirement age due to the chaos and riots the oligarch’s are working toward). The travelers are being programmed to obey, always accept the ruling of the oligarchs, for your own benefit regardless of the efficacy.
By the end of the decade passengers will be forced to drink a laxative, then sit in open view on a glass toilet bowl until they crap.
Pun intended?
Yuk, yuk...

This is also desensitization and encroachment on boundaries. “Nudging”...first they just went through our stuff, then we had to remove our shoes, now this and...what next? Each thing is just a little bit more...a little more taxation, a few cents tax here and there, inspecting your car, your home, etc. The war on tobacco is the model they will follow on everything. First just warnings, then no smoking in restaurants, then taxes to pay for damages and finding villains, etc. etc. We all know how it has gone. They go on these campaigns and never seem to stop. They wear us down and make it easier to just go along, much like a nagging child does to get what he wants. Citizens need to practice some tough love and saying NO to our busybody government and safety freaks.

What I think is interesting is that we have ‘conservatives’ here defending the government’s shut up and take it mentality to us airline passengers, and saying if you don’t like it, maybe you shouldn’t fly,
but the very same government will not take that same mentality towards illegals who believe they are entitled to benefits and to work here illegally? ie - if you don’t like it here in America, maybe you should just go back to Mexico?
Why do illegals get better treatment from our government than its citizens on airplanes?
And also, friends, if you haven’t figured it out, this is not about improving our security. If it were they wouldn’t let over 90% go through regular (supposedly inferior) screening. They would not give muslim women a pass from intesive screening. They would not use the recent CARGO PLANE INK JET BOMBS as the excuse for the new PASSENGER plane screening.
It is a number of things OTHER than security.
It is about getting regular people used to being searched like a criminal by government authorities. It is you getting used to having your 4th Amendment rights violated for whatever stated reasons.
It is also about damaging the economy by damaging the airlines, probably with the longer term goal of tanking them hard enough government will nationalize them to ‘save them’.
It is also about restricting the ability of the public to travel, and certainly not to be able to travel without fear of being molested and strip searched like a prison inmate. It is about projecting fear into the travelling public. The desired effect government wants is restricted travel - either people will not use airplanes or will use them only when necessary. This helps to further the above goal of damaging the economy and the airlines, to the point they will be nationalized.
It is about putting more of this kind of searching in place in other public modes of travel - subways, large bus depots, train stations.
This current administration is diverting transportation funds to mass transit systems (public transportation) and away from roads and bridges. The fact they are dumping billions into fixed rail systems (high speed rail) as the future of transportation instead of putting that money into making existing roads and bridges better or maintaining them, shows they are trying to funnel the population into using mass transit systems. These are the systems that they want to put all this scanning and searching crap in. Read up on Agenda 21. All this stuff is incrementally working its way there.

That is just one reason why, if this opt out thing goes viral, the TSA will be forced to back off.
I am buying a Kilt though. If I end up wearing it on flights I’ll be going commando.
Opinion:
This whole flying nonsense didn’t even exist when this great nation was formed. Personally I HATE flying at 6’6”. IF it wasn’t for the harm in our tourist trade, I wouldn’t give a rat’s @ss if all airlines went away. I wish I could be banned from flying.
Unfortunately, my job REQUIRES me to fly. I’m not gonna drive from LA to NYC. Othewise, I’d be all done with it.
Because it wouldn't stop a jihadi. Dying in jihad GUARANTEES you passage into the Islamic Paradise. Jihad cancels all sins, and anything is permitted which advances Islam.
I hear you. I'm 6'4" and flying is extremely uncomforatble because of the tight fit in the seats when the rude moron in front of you puts his seat all the way back crushing your knees. That is one of the main reasons I no longer fly.
