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.
The typical TSA person has probably never been in a position of power before in their lives. It goes to their heads. I’ve seen their arrogant and overbearing behavior at the airport myself.
They have no sympathy for the traveler. It’s all about them. I guess if you “opt out,” it’s a challenge to their authority and they feel obligated to teach you a lesson. That’s what it sounds like, anyway.
You got to do what you got to do. I go to see my parents 4-5 times a year in Florida from Memphis. It is a 10 hour drive but I still prefer it to flying. And I used to fly 5-6 times a year from 1992-2002. Quit cold turkey after I used up my flight miles in June, 2002.
“And another reason why I have given serious thought to my local charter services. Go with friends and/or family and split the cost.”
On behalf of myself and numerous air charter operators everywhere, I thank you for your consideration.
THESE A**HOLES SHOULD BE PROFILING!!!!
Perhaps the new guys going to Malfunction Junction can start to get these b*****ds under control before we start seeing Barney in his new Nazi threads.
And the next muzzie who tries to jack a commercial flight would be beaten to death by the passengers before he got to the flight deck door. THESE A**HOLES SHOULD BE PROFILING!!!!
Perhaps the new guys going to Malfunction Junction can start to get these b*****ds under control before we start seeing Barney in his new Nazi threads.
I would say KGB but the KGB were more methodical and machinelike. SS, maybe. They really got into humiliation and sneer, at least in the movies.
The young lady said that the law enforcement and TSA’s response to her questions was that it “wasn't about her and not about them; but about the greater good.”
That, people, is a scary statement. Resist, resist, resist I say.
Profiling would have prevented this. But instead we get political correctness and the tyranny that goes with it. A poor woman who is obviously NOT MUSLIM NOT ARAB NOT A THREAT was tortured and had her private property destroyed.
“How does this make these TSA agents any different then any common terrorist who uses fear and intimidation to get their way?”
The big difference is that TSAPersons are on our payroll. At least the terrorists pay their own salaries (IRSPersons excepted, of course).
Absolutely chilling!
...wasn’t about her and not about them; but about the greater good.
Hmmm...I’ve read something just like that somewhere in an old musty history book...can’t remember...
LOL
The think tanks have decided against you.
No. The liberty movement is making a huge impact in NH. If their numbers were larger they could make the same impact throughout America.
My advice to women not wanting to possible face this screening is not to fly. I don't care for this scanning either, but the first time another bomber gets through you know who is getting their arse chewed out.
I think if she didn't want screened, she should of been allowed to just leave.
Would like to hear the other side of the story.
The Nazis were great at turning average everyday citizens into sadistic killers through desensitization techniques. I'm not saying that's where this is going. Just that mild brainwashing and Hegelian methods go a long way in furthering fascistic thinking and poisoning the minds of those involved.
Maybe your friend needs to find a new line of work.
The United States had the option of choosing “blob” scanners that show anything dangerous against a blob-like form of the person being scanned, with no detail. These are the ones used in Europe. Instead the TSA or whoever chose the detailed ones.
There is some feeling that the groping is getting more and more personal because they want people to go through the scanner to avoid the groping.
It sounds to me like this has become TSA versus the traveler and by necessity vice versa. The guys in the back room have become seriously addicted and we have a situation of sadistic perversity going on.
I posted this on another thread, but feel it’s appropriate here as well.....
Watching CMA Kid Rock singing Born Free.... THESE COMMIES CAN KISS MY FREEDOM LOVING ASS!
“Born Free”
Fast, on a rough road riding
High, through the mountains climbing
Twisting, turning further from my home.
Young, like a new moon rising
Fierce, through the rain and lightning
Wandering out into this great unknown.
And I don’t want no one to cry,
But tell ‘em if I don’t survive:
[Chorus:]
I was born free!
I was booooooorn free
I was born free, born free.
Free, like a river raging
Strong, if the wind I’m facing.
Chasing dreams and racing fathered time.
Deep like the grandest canyon,
Wild like an untamed stallion.
If you can’t see my heart you must be blind.
You can knock me down and watch me bleed
But you can’t keep no chains on me.
[Chorus:]
I was born free!
I was booooooorn free
I was born free, born free.
And I’m not good at long goodbyes,
But look down deep into my eyes,
I was born free!
Calm, facing danger,
Lost like an unknown stranger,
Grateful, for my time with no regrets.
Close to my destination,
Tired, frail and achin’,
Waitin’ patiently for the sun to set.
And when it’s done believe that I
Will yell it from that mountain highhh!
[Chorus:]
I was born free!
I was booooooorn free
I was born free, born free.
I will bow to shining seas
And celebrate God’s grace on me!
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh (repeats)
