There is much blame to go around here, including to Bush and other Republicans who were too naive not to see this coming when they bought into the stupid notion that stuff, and not certain kinds of profile-able people cause airline terror. This was utterly predictable and in fact was destined to happen, and anyone with a brain could see it coming.
Pythias?
I guess his Mother could have been a fan of Greek mythology.
...last time out...I told the fellow not to smile when running his hand up my crotch...
Next time you fly:
1-Opt out of the scanner to force a pat down
2-Refuse the private screening, but request an “opposite sex” screening
3-They will explain that’s not allowed
Now you may ask “why not?” The pat down is not sexual, right?
If it isn’t sexual, why does the sex of the agent matter?
It it is sexual, then you must insist on a heterosexual screen. Ask the agent if they are homosexual, and if they say yes, insist on someone else.
You’d think this would get you arrested but it hasn’t been for at least 6 times for me. None of the agents ever admit (yet) to being gay. So you at least get the small victory of forcing their hypocritical upper hand.
So was the SS.
Just fired??? Not prosecuted???
"A convicted TSA security officer ..."
“The majority of people working for TSA are just following orders and doing their jobs,”
Isn’t that what the Nazis said?
No broad brush? Let me use mine.
TSA’s are LEO wannabe’s who couldn’t cut it.
I am sure the TSA agents get “convicted” the same way that cops serving a search warrant late at night and kill all occupants and their dogs only to later find they were at the wrong address. They get fired and then get a cop job in the next town over. I have seen it first hand how this happens. I bet there are few crimminal convictions or even charges against these TSA thiefs or sexual assailants.
The TSA is indoctrinating people that they are subjects of the state. Unless you like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Casrro or Chavez I would suggest that this is EVIL.
Tired from a long day - didn’t notice that word “convicted” - thank you and thank heavens it is so.
“Just following orders and doing their job” was the excuse offered by Nazi concentration guards at the Nurenburg trials. It didn’t wash then and doesn’t wash now when the law requires an individual to do something that he knows is inherently wrong.
Yes, indeed, and for that reason they have not earned the title of ‘officer.’
TSAs are glorified unionized baggage handlers.
:)
Agreed. Nothing wrong with using a broad brush.
Oh sure, you may miss a few spots here and there, but if the broad brush is accurate, the situation is properly colored....
Good comeback! Good comeback!
