I support security measures but the way she's describing it makes me think it needs to stop or change.

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)

If only the USA had enough lawyers, this woman could sick Legion of them onto the TSA...


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

If they did this to me they would have to drag me to jail and I wouldn’t stop screaming until something was changed. WE LET THIS HAPPEN and now we must stop it. The moment they started talking abotu these full body scans we should have said HELL TO THE NO...but we didn’t and now we’re surprised at this? Grandmothers and young girls being groped by TSA workers? TSA WORKERS...a step up from minimum wage workers.

Bullcr@p. Listen to what she actually says. She was never “patted down” nor did she have her “breasts twisted”. To quote her “ I had read about” what these exams were like but that no exam was done.

She works for a radio station.She was looking for a man bites dog story and she is revelling in her 15 minutes.

The Israelis have lived alongside jihadists since 1947, they have the tightest security and best trained personnel on the planet, and you don't hear of this nonsense from them. Why? Because they do intelligent profiling. If someone looks suspicious, have a one way ticket they paid for in cash they'll question them and not care if they're a muslim. They don't waste time with little old ladies or old priests. Their record of terrorist incidents on their airline flights is almost perfect.

We have to put up with this nonsense because our government is afraid of offending muslims, while Israel has learned that no matter what they do the muzzies will hate them so they don't care.

I stopped flying in 2005 for less than what they are doing now.

The pat-downs can be very traumatic for some women. I experienced this first hand when I escorted the elderly mother of my boss to Scotland a couple of years ago to join the rest of his family for his daughter’s wedding. She is a very sweet and kind woman. She is not a drama queen or prone to hysterics. She is simply a very old fashioned woman who grew up in a gentler time. I think of her as a true Southern belle. She is well educated, had traveled quite extensively in the past and is not the nervous type.

This was before the full body scanners so that wasn’t even an issue, but for some reason out of the dozens of people in line, they pulled her aside for a pat-down. Instead of several middle Eastern looking men who quite frankly I was hoping they would check out, they chose this sweet old woman. She had not made the metal detectors go off so I have no idea why they did this. She did what she was told while the woman TSA agent patted her down. She was also made to pull the top of her pants down about an inch (not sure why they did that). I stood nearby and thought she was doing ok, but when it was over and we were walking away, she began shaking and broke down in tears. She was mortified at being touched in such an intimate way by a stranger. The experience of being touched in private places by someone other than her husband or doctor was more than she could handle. She worried about the return trip the entire time we were in Scotland and I know it affected her ability to enjoy the festivities. Thankfully, she wasn’t put through this on the return flight. I was planning to ask for a manager if they did and Lord only knows what would have happened to us then.

I know 9-11 was horrible. My question is how did we ever fly before 9-11? It seems odd to me that the TSA seemed to spring to life almost over night. It seems that the plan was already in the works before 9-11. Bush caved to the federal worker unions and hell he must have been in on this whole control plan to begin with.

Similar horror stories are popping up more and more every day. Perhaps a class action lawsuit designed to overturn the so called terrorist security measures the Bush admin shoved through Congress without much of a vetting process should be totally re-thought and reworked.

It sure seems that a growing number of rogue TSA agents are running amok a bit too often with apparent complete immunity for their actions. That must stop. Even the Prez has to answer for his actions and that must apply to even out of control TSA agents, IMHO. What happened to unreasonable search and seizure in the US Constitution?!

What happened to this young woman and countless other citizens is nothing short of government sponsored terrorism against its own people. And I imagine it will only get worse until the American people awaken from their slumber and get fed up enough and demand that it come to a halt and fire a bunch of the anti-American Marxist bureaucrats starting with Obama and his female hench(wo)man Janet Napolitano et. al.
