"Hi, simply hi...."
REALLY, Laz?
Yes, all the posts criticizing TSA brutality are hoaxes. All we need to do is fake a stuffy nose and call ahead and all will be well /sarc
We're way past due to return to the basics of commercial air travel.
They make the sheep feel safe, that's all.
Frankly, I think that they only exist as a lightning rod. Everyone focuses on the schlubs on the security lines, while the *real* security is handled quietly in the back.
For instance, I flew into Heathrow once. Security there grabbed three (young, middle-eastern-looking) men from right behind me and escorted them out a concourse side door. Very quiet, very polite, just an understated "You will please come with us, sir" and poof, they were out of sight. If I'd not been standing right there when it happened, I'd have had no idea anything was going on.
Makes me wonder how often it occurs here in the USA.
And yet she keeps on flying? I say the heck with it. If I cant drive to it, I dont need to go there. Starve the beast.
I would also never take a job that required me to spend even an instant in any airport.
Last night I went through Atlanta’s Hartsfield Jackson International TSA reception screening. We live in a police state folks. The terrorists have won. Getting scanned and frisked to re-enter my own country, like a common street criminal. A shocking rude reminder that we have surrendered our liberty for security. So sad.
I find that the worst airport to go through...very dark.
I have a friend in her late 30s, mixed race, looks black, who travels frequently on business. She says she is always taken aside and given the full treatment. She obviously blames it on racial profiling.
A few years ago, we met a couple in their 30s, one of whom is Indian and the other Filipina. She referred to their experiences as *flying while brown*. They, too always get the full grope. BTW, he is a cardiac surgeon.
Just anecdote, but it could be inferred that the TSA are equal-opportunity gropers.
Yes he can. The president can end it immediately with nothing more than an Executive Order, since that is how it was created. We need to demand this of the next GOP president. But if we get a liberal like Romney or a globalist like Gingrich, you can forget it.
Those guys are natural Obama voters, so the proper term is "corpse".
And then shorten it about five more notches to provide a safety margin. You can't take any chances with tyranny.
I predict within 10 yrs. the HSA/TSA will be as hated as the KGB and Gestapo were in their respective countries.
They serve no useful purpose but to terrorize the population and are of no use due to political correctness.
Where were the signs? In the rest rooms? I had these issues on the return trip.
Whoopee!!! He fought to keep an organization that shouldn’t exist from being unionized.
(anyone else see a problem with that?)
Of course that doesn’t work. You have to say that you are ‘lesbian transgendered’... or in other words, a lesbian woman trapped in a man’s body. Either that, or claim that your sect of Islam prohibits anyone of the same sex from touching one’s private bits; that only member’s of the opposite sex may do so, by the word of Allah!
Then you should get a female screener.
