Note: I am unable to independently verify the above, so I would take it with a small grain of salt. But it's still worth posting in case somebody here can verify the information or has some similar experiences.

The story sounds like an internet compilation of 3 famous tsa stories.

[Gaffer]

It is just a basic coming realization that TSA, ALL OF THEM, are occupational miscreants, probably a large portion of psychologically imbalance, probably some abusers and female/child abusers and, above all, domestic terrorists.

IMHO, Job 1 for the new House R majority behind stopping anything Obama wants and burying immigration reform is cutting the balls off Janet Napolitano and her Gestapo. DEFUND TSA NOW!

[Terry Mross]

I’m waiting for a brave sheriff or D.A. to file molestation charges against a screener. I’d love to see the sheriff walk in with a posse and arrest the whold damn bunch. Remember the TSA folks aren’t armed. hee hee

[Steely Tom]

I’d like to know this: was the roll-out of these new procedures timed so that the complaints wouldn’t start until after the 2010 elections?

[Nea Wood]

This just makes my blood boil. As somebody said on another thread, “The terrorists have won.”

[Vaquero]

I try not to fly anymore.....not worth the aggravation

[maine yankee]

The only way this is going to stop is if the airlines and the unions connected to the airlines apply pressure.

The only way to motivate these groups is simply to;

.....STOP FLYING !!!!!

Take a train. Rent a car. Charter a bus or a limo.

Just do not fly.

It will not take long to get their attention.

[hitkicker]

I will not be flying while this goes on, and I will also be making it crystal clear to my elected representatives that they are NOT permitted to circumvent the boycott by voting a federal bailout for the airlines when the boycott starts to pinch.

[Slyfox]

I wonder if the public school "Stranger Danger" education will have to be revamped to fit the TSA requirements.

They teach the children to speak out if someone they don't know handles them where a bathing suit would cover them.

[SaraJohnson]

My sons, when they were small, when through stages where they did not even want strangers to look at and talk to them, let alone grope their bodies. We are training children that they are helpless in the face of sexual molestation - that they do not have a say in how strangers -especially strangers with authority - touch them.

For men and women this is sexual harassment and abuse by the government as well.

But, this experience of physical and mental abuse of people in the name of terrorism has traveled into every aspect of America’s life from the schools and local police to every Federal and State law enforcement and public service group.

If we let this stand, the terrorists won.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

The TSA is hiring people who aren’t qualified for real jobs and giving them power. It is bound to create some real monsters.

I have not traveled by air since January 2002 when I was subjected to TSA scrutiny. Now it is even worse. Zero has said that those wearing a burqa are exempt from the full search that the rest of us must endure - wonder how long it will take before the muzzies send something through on one of them?

I will not fly again until all freight items and the burqa wearers are searched as stridently as the rest of us.

Write your senators & congress critters and demand that the TSA be done away with and that they use the Israeli method of screening.
