The TSA chose Meg McLain for special screening. They wanted her to go through the new porno-scanners. When she opted out, TSA agents raised an enormous ruckus. When she asked some question about what they planned to do to her, they flipped out. TSA agents yelled at her, handcuffed her to a chair, ripped up her ticket, called in 12 local Miami cops and finally escorted her out of the airport. Listen to her story as she told it on radio show Free Talk Live last night. Things are truly getting scary.
Being that I don’t see this as something the left would appreciate either I would call for a day that nobody uses the airport. Pick a hard day. Cost major and use different modes of transport if possible. Our government is out of control.
I think what we have is Stockholm Syndrome plaguing our national psyche. You’ve heard Michael Savage say liberalism is a mental disorder, he’s not being facetious, he is very serious. Liberalism is a break with reality... need examples? See Nancy Palosi, Chris Matthews and our fearless leader, BO... liberalism is feeding into this Stockholm Syndrome to such a degree that we are seeing Nazi style antics being foisted on normal everyday citizens by folks who’s brain waves are on the same level as the terrorists who would do us all harm...
If you recall, that was a big part of Hillarycare back in 1993. You couldn’t travel outside of our “medical zone” without registering your itinerary with the Feds and getting permission. We are going to get this sort of thing no matter what. I don’t think Congress can really affect it much any more. It is in the Courts’ hands now and too many judges have been appointed to be revolutionary legislators. Everything has to go to the USSC and that docket will be overwhelmed pretty soon. I wonder how seriously the Left, especially the Ayres and/or Chicago Left has considered that in reality there is only one human being standing in the way of total control- one Supreme Court Justice. If Thomas or Scalia or Roberts should have a heart attack, or an unfortunate accident...
Yes, she certainly was. The TSA appears completely sadistic in the way they treated this poor young woman. They also purposely used her as an example in public to scare the hell out of anybody else who dare question having a naked picture taken of them or being touched on their genitals by some creepy half-witted pervert. They publicly humiliated her to break her spirit and that of anybody who has a problem with their Nazi-like behavior.
How does this make these TSA agents any different then any common terrorist who uses fear and intimidation to get their way?
I hope she sues.
If they keep this up it will destroy anything left of airline travel and send all the carriers into bankruptcy.
If they aren’t the core, the “Civilian Defense Force” will be JUST LIKE THEM.
Power hungry idiots that take pleasure in beating and harming ANYONE who questions them or they just plain don’t like.
Like the Marine at CostCo in LasVegas.
It is kidnapping and it is false imprisonment. It is a major portion of what we went to war about in the 1770s. Just wait until these porn machines start showing up in courthouses and schools. THEY WILL.The point is humiliation of the citizenry in the service of converting citizens into subjects and trained cattle.
I fly to Minneapolis from Charlotte on Monday. Both airports have the scanners. I intend to opt out if necessary. Will let you know how that works out for me.
She would be me except I don’t think it is in me to be peaceful or cooperative with sexual aggressors.
I can’t let anyone sexually molest me for any rationalization. I am the one who decides to touches my twat and how they touch my body and when they touch my body - not Jan the Man. Good grief!
I wish I cold quit flying. The bus to Viet Nam doesn’t run any more.
It already sounds like even the pilots and flight attendants are also complaining about the scanners and groping. I wonder what the airlines themselves think about all this. More of these stories will only hurt their already dwindling bottom line if more people opt out of air travel because of this nonsense.
I am thinking an “opt-out” day is in order. This will grind things to a complete halt. My wife went through some crap some time ago and this is much worse.
Sexually abusing and dominating women and children for your job tends to introduce new criminal temptations and mentalities.
Are there any lawsuits pending because of this kind of stuff?
I’m beginning to wonder about “the tiny amount of radiation” involved. Yeah, it’s only some small fraction of an x-ray...but how many people get 1,000 x-rays during their lifetime? And I know that some (some) of these machines use non-ionizing radiation, but the jury is out on that too.
Furthermore, airline personnel are ALREADY exposed to more radiation than the general public, because of flying above most of the atmosphere - especially in over-the-pole flights, where the magnetic field dips down.
You can find plenty of scientists who will state that there is NO zero-risk dosage of radiation.
TSA - Thousands Sexually Assaulted
I hope she sues and the a$$holes responsible for this are fired.
So you don’t feel this is an issue b/c she has piercings in her ears? So what?
The waiting lines to get into my RV are less than a minute. Because of my High-Tech screening process, my guests can carry weapons of all types. Even knives, and I never worry about getting beheaded. My method has proved to be 100 percent effective.
Even the Flying Imams could not get into my RV. My security is that tight. In fact, Imam Obama could not get into my RV.
Tell that to this poor woman. Her name is Meg (Smeg) McLain and she’s easily contactable on the internet.
Extremely Excellent Point!!!
These scanners will not just be at airports - if the American people don't put their foot down now on these scanners or intrusive pat-downs there is no stopping the BigBrotherCreep.
