Public pressure can change TSA tactics - must be willing to do it
self | 11/15/2010 | Secret Agent Man

Posted on 11/15/2010 1:36:34 PM PST by Secret Agent Man

Let's just call this what it is: Domestic Terrorism. That is exactly what is being implemented by TSA.

The only agency to have policies that tell all persons to get ready for rape you cannot object to.

Might as well have a sign that says: "It's gonna happen, just shut up, lie back, and try to enjoy it. We will."

And then trying to fine you 10 grand if you decide you don't want to fly and have to go through the "assume the position" naked scan radiation zapper or get felt up without even a dinner and a movie.

trying psychological submission tactics of "OPT OUT!" like you're a criminal if you don't want to get zapped by the porn-o-vision microwave.

The flying public needs to counter this. They need to employ the same psychological warfare TSA does when they get an opt-out. The entire crowds need to shout at all those glorified baggage handlers:

"Porn freaks!" "Rapists!" "Domestic Terrorists!" "Perverts!" "Prison Guards!" "Child Molesters!" "Sex Offenders!"

And I mean every day, all the time. If they think shouting Opt Out! will somehow keep the rest of the over 90% who don't complain, in line, think what it will do if the entire flying public does this to TSA all the time.

And I am serious - now that they are touching people's trouser junk - they are all back to being glorified baggage handlers again.

If you have any other job, which involves routine exposure to man-made radiation, what safety precautions must be taken to protect the worker? I know we have to radiation badge anybody who works a mail scanner, and that is going to have a lot less exposure than one of these things.

Just because some TSA agents are known sadists, is no reason to suspect them all of abnormal sexual kinks.

Just wait until TSA gets their OWN CAIR-like group to defend them.

Former Orlando TSA officer gets probation in sex-slave case
Orlando Sentinel ^ | 6/18/10 | Anthony Colarossi and Walter Pacheco

A former Orlando TSA security officer arrested for allegedly molesting a minor pleaded no contest to one charge today and was sentenced to 10 years’ sex-offender probation.

A victim told deputies Bennett asked her to be his sex slave and fondled her against her will. He pleaded no contest to the molestation charge, while prosecutors dropped the second count as part of the plea deal.

TSA officer accused of child sx bragged on MySpace
Orlando Sentinel ^ | 2/1/10 | Walter Pacheco
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2442048/posts

The Orlando International Airport TSA security officer arrested on charges of molesting a minor is a fan of bondage and sadomasochism, according to his MySpace page.

Charles Henry Bennett’s MySpace profile identifies him as “Master Charles or Sir.” The online page shows the 57-year-old airport security guard has “many years experience” as a bondage and sadomasochism master and is looking to meet people, especially “submissive females.”

Officials with the Transportation Security Administration today said Bennett has been working security at the airport since 2002. A spokeswoman at the federal agency said officials are investigating the allegations.

I cannot, for the life of me, understand why people are so upset by this......the scanners are great, anmd let’s face it, there are basically two kinds of proplr in the world, you are one of them, and chances are that you have little or nothing to brag about......I wark at a juvenile prison and all our bodysearches have to be done backhanded and so should theirs......go through the scanner, get on the plane, enjoy your vacation......get over it!!!

When big sis and the congress critters submit to this humiliation, I will, but not till then. I have had enough of arrogant tsa agents, because I have two knee replacements.

We aren’t convicted prisoners. We may be prisoners, but we can opt out.

I contacted my Go Along Get Along Congressman today about this. If he gets 50,000 similar emails, maybe he'll find the political courage to maybe say something.

We need to demand that everyone (all government and congressional personel) must live by the same laws they pass for us. It us disgusting the our Treasury Sec is a tax cheat, and all the TSA procedures they have prescribed for us - - they circumvent.

Enough. If we have to have these rules, they need to too.

And tax cheats need to be treated like average Joe.

Guys- if they grab your junk, just moan, shake your leg, say thank you, And offer them a twenty as a tip. Say to the guy in line behind you, He’s good, we are lucky to be in this line.

Girls, just scream, jump back, and say don’t put your finger in there.
Then call for a police officer, and swear out a molestation complaint.
Eventually the TSA union rep will call for a stop to pat downs.

not going to happen, by buying a ticket, you have agreed to a contract of mutual consent. You do it at a ball game, race, etc. etc....you assume some responsibility in order to enjoy the benefits....you want to fly, prove that you are free of any contraband......don’t want to prove it, that’s O.K.....drive instead. By the way, if you drive, make sure you have a license, wear a seatbelt, obey speed limits, have everyone in your vehicle strapped in, make sure that you employ child safety seats, wear glasses if required to do so, obey all traffic control signals, look and listen at railroad crossings, do not exceed a reasonable amount of time to drive before resting......or go through the scanner, you’d be there by now....

Personally, I won’t fly precisely because of this BS and I’m sure I’m not alone.

F’em! I’ll drive.

Janet Napolitano’s a lesbian. She gets a same-sex pat down. Do you think she will object? Hell no.

Airport passengers are not prisoners. Apparently you don’t understand that.

Regular law abiding people are offended at being told to assume the position and being treated by officers as criminals.

There are two types of people on this issue though, you are right. There are people that understand what’s wrong about thism and then there’s people like you, who do not.

Me too — no more flights — no need; no place I want/need to go badly enough to get on a plane the way the laws are now. Have seen the world and am happy now to get to my destinations via car or cruise ship.

F’em, indeed!!!
