EDITORIAL: Obama's police state, Now private parts are public province
washington times ^ | 11/26/10 | Jeffrey T. Kuhner

Posted on 11/26/2010 8:46:51 AM PST by Nachum

President Obama is engaging in a relentless assault on our freedoms and constitutional government. The growing backlash against the new

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) airport screening procedures signifies that Americans finally may have had enough.

There is a grass-roots revolt against state-sanctioned sexual harassment. And who can blame the protesters? Children are stripped of their shirts, and their private parts are touched. Nuns and old ladies are groped by intrusive TSA agents. Breasts have been fondled. Men's crotches have been patted down. Full-body scanners show images of people naked - a clear violation of privacy and civil liberties.

The administration insists that the enhanced procedures are vital for national security. The rationale: Last year's underwear bomber nearly blew up a plane flying over Detroit. Hence, everyone's private parts are now the property of the federal government - at least when flying.

Heh, heh.

I wonder if there's a pic of that iconic "HOPE" image out yet with the word "GROPE" instead.

If I had any computer graphics skill at all I'd create it myself.

the new Transportation Security Administration (TSA) airport screening procedures

When did these new procedures take affect?

I recently read a thread here where the author was incensed that people were comparing what's happening today with his grandfather in Israel or something like that.

Because his grandfather lost his entire family because of Nazis, he felt he had the corner on the effects and sole-victim status(if you can call it that) of tyranny. Were his complaint the operative response to TSA right now, we'd all be saying "At least we aren't Jews in 1939!" So, what I took away from his story is "suck it up and take it".

Well, he's wrong. He is a self absorbed wallowing victim who doesn't own the franchise, I'm sure. The Nazis didn't start out killing Jews, neither is the TSA, but their incrementalism is exactly like what happened decades ago.

As far as I can tell, they were never announced to the public and it happened about a week or so before the thanksgiving holiday.

I believe the ground work for the TSA began with legislation back in the 90’s. We are witnessing the ‘completion’ of what was intended back then. :(

Here's a couple of things vital for national security.

1. Close the borders.

2. Deport all illegal immigrants.

3. WHEN YOU CATCH A TERRORIST,

SHOOT THEM IN THE F@#$ING HEAD!!!

Do you know what essentially the boiled-down version contains?

If this is a Janet Napolitano operation, no surprise. Why are the libs so consistently hideous? They deliberately bring vileness to the national level where possible. The vile Janets. Janet Reno, then an eight-year break, and now this Janet.

They are laughing at us! Osama won a long time ago. Now he's just got the rest of them chipping away.

The terrorists can be a group of 20, yet we are held hostage by our gum't thugs!

The Left sure likes to control all speech (and thought). They can use comparisons to the Nazis all day, but heaven forbid we draw any parallels. And if we *dare* bring up Communists — even though they are fully functional and operating in the US today — we are again the object of their scorn and told to shut up.

Nappy started out here in AZ, doing what they do best. Here, she placed foreign-operated cameras on all of our state highways. Formerly nice small towns looked like military/prison camps when you approached them.

Fortunately, after she left, the spy cams on the highways ended. We still have a leftist city council adding them wherever they can though, thanks to her opening the door to tyranny. *Whoops, we didn’t know they were recording ALL of your activity!!*
