Jan the Man TSA pervert alert! Homeland inSecurity should be famous for it’s sexual pervert harassment policies and lawsuits.
Let us not forget that we assured by Senator Charles Schumer (D, NY) that should Congress approve of federalizing the previously private security screeners, that they would be “more professional”.
Yes, they act like professional thugs. And it appears that TSA management wants it that way given how few complaints are accepted.
I too hate the invasive searches but we face a quandary with public airliners. It only takes one fool with a package that can fit inside a shoe to bring one down.
IMO, they need to focus more on systems that scan to only detect explosives rather than showing every single physical object on one’s body or bag. It can easily be done for bags but scanning people is another story.
Also, more profiling. Not simply for appearance, but mainly how a person responds to simple questions. The Israelis for example simply ask “name, origin and destination?” while holding your ID and boarding pass. If you hesitate or give the wrong information to such a simple question, they check you further.
Hypocritical congressmen. No complaints unless it’s one of their own that suffers.
I vow not to fly again, either. ANYONE I want to see or ANYTHING I want to do is within driving distance.
The soft tyranny continues with hardly any complaints. Perhaps there will be some action when the TSA starts searching bus and train passengers. Wait a minute they have already done that. Maybe when the TSA has checkpoints on the major interstates then we’ll see some resistance. On the other hand I believe the incremental removal of freedoms will go on unabated.
I used to travel every week on Southwest which is my preferred airline but haven’t flown anywhere for the last two years. Received a “we miss you” email from Southwest and told them I’d return when TSA was gone. Sent copy to everyone on their board and airport managers everywhere in Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Arizona which are serviced by Southwest. Our family drives everywhere on business and for pleasure or we don’t go. Makes for some very long trips but I refuse to be a participant in their gropeathon and thuggery.
ditto.
Same here. I never liked flying anyway, the sexual assault “safety” procedures just cinched it. Not being a male who appears Muslim, I’d be a likely target for intrusive “security” measures. This is one of the many ways political correctness is eroding our freedom.
Grope & tell.
Aaaaaaaand, of course, the follow up is not to look at the bare knee. That would be way too common sense.
Thank you for the TSA, GW Bush. What a wonderful thing you gave us.
With Conservatives like Baby Bush, who needs enemies?
I have always said that they make laws when tragedy befalls them much quicker than when the plebs are forced to suffer the same fate for usually a much longer period of time.
Egregious violations like this go on until someone that matters (political elites) are forced to deal with the consequences of bad policy/law directly.
You’re going to love Jeb in 2016.
Pictures. Now.
Or it didn't happen.
The teenager involved in this incident was only 17 years old at the time. This means that any photos or video taken while the teenager's breasts were exposed is considered child pornography. Do you really want to view child pornography?
boys will be boys, unfortunately... sometimes they need their mouth washed with soap
Ditto.
I would rather see entire 747s blown to smithereens by terrorists than to see my entire nation being marched into bondage on the excuse of terrorism.
I would rather see entire bus loads of Kindergarteners vaporized by IEDs than see my entire nation shred the constitution, and surrendered into Marxist oppression by the 51% who pay no taxes and surrender their liberty for security at breakneck pace.
Terrorist can only destroy so many people so fast. Few here few there. Far far less than die in car accidents each year. Socialism is destroying our nation and depriving us our freedom.
Much better a random terrorist gets through. Much much better we were all armed so very few random terrorists ever get through.
