The TSA, Homeland Security, and the Obama administration all are saying these scans and pat-downs are important to keep us safe. This is ludicrous. Terrorists are aware of America's reactionary-only airport security measures. A bomb found in the underwear? OK, that is where America will next be looking. So they'll put the next suicide bomber into the security line with C4 in his watch or sunglasses. He may be in line behind you right now on his test run. Or does he have the stuff in his rectum, or inside a special tampon where the sun never shines on his...

"This is going to be a serious problem for the TSA if it doesn't figure out something quick. So far, the TSA seems to be in near absolute denial that this is actually a problem, but if these TSA responses are indicative of how most TSA agents feel, there are going to be a lot fewer security people at airports very, very soon."

Obama has made a mess, he might need some old fashioned Conservative toilet paper This is an email from an affluent, educated, Liberal female in her thirties, she has an extremely high IQ and a speed reading ability that I have never seen equaled; I know her quite well, I took her camping and fishing and taught her Algebra, Geometry, and mathematics at an age when most kids are still learning their alphabet, she is my daughter. She lives in Alberta and often flies to Maui for holidays; unfortunately, this means going through American TSA sexual fondling. She and her...

I have an incident to share that occurred late Friday afternoon, November 12, 2010, around 5:15 in the Dayton International Airport. -- snip -- She did not tell me that she was going to touch my buttocks, or reach forward to my vagina area. She then moved in front of my and touched the top and underneath portions of both of my breasts. She did not tell me that she was going to touch my breasts. She then felt around my waist.

The head of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) offered on Wednesday to have airport screeners come to Capitol Hill to give senators a pat-down so they could fully understand the mechanics of the newly deployed, controversial technique. “Honestly, any member who has not experienced that pat-down [and] who would like to do that — I would not offer it — but an experienced qualified security officer would be glad to do that,” Pistole said. Pistole told a separate panel of senators yesterday that the pat-down technique is so thorough that, had it been used, it would have thwarted the suspected...

Two weeks ago, my wife flew alone out to Colorado with our two young children. Unaware that the TSA had instituted new and incredibly invasive new security procedures, my wife called me distressed after getting frisked by the TSA. Or as my wife put it, “in some cultures I would be married to my screener by now.” She was joking, but make no mistake — my wife was incredibly disturbed by how intimate a security pat down she received. So here’s my not-so-modest proposal: If the President’s Homeland Security department is so adamant that this is the absolute best way...

The Transportation Security Administration has opened an investigation targeting John Tyner, the Oceanside man who left Lindbergh Field under duress on Saturday morning after refusing to undertake a full body scan.

Time to take a stand.

TAMPA - When the Buccaneers instituted a policy requiring all fans to be patted down for weapons before entering Raymond James Stadium, the American Civil Liberties Union vowed to file suit. Thursday, they followed up on that threat. A lawsuit, filed on behalf of a season ticket holder, seeks to immediately stop officials from conducting what the ACLU calls the "suspicionless" pat-down searches. According to the ACLU, fan Gordon Johnston inquired about canceling his season tickets after he learned that the searches would be implemented. But the team would not refund the nearly $900 for his tickets. Now, Johnson and...

(CBS/AP) The Transportation Security Administration is slightly altering the way airport screeners conduct patdown searches by allowing passengers to put their arms down after their upper bodies are checked. TSA spokesman Mark Hatfield called it "a small adjustment that we're hoping will lead to a large increase in comfort factor for people in secondary screening." The new procedure takes effect on Monday. Allowing passengers to put their arms down will help them feel less conspicuous while they're being searched, Hatfield said.
