Finally, some common ground! FReepers and DUmmies agree: We all hate the TSA! The hottest topic of the week in DUmmieland is the same as it is in FReeperville, i.e., thread upon thread of outrage over the latest excessive, intrusive measures of the Transportation Slowdown Administration.
So this will be a most unusual DUFU, where I mostly AGREE with the DUmmies. But now if we could only get them to take the next step and get equally upset over Big Government groping around in our pocketbook and taking our paycheck and taking away our freedoms! Why, we might make conservatives out of them yet! Well, don't hold your breath.
For today's DUFU I'm selecting just a couple of the MANY threads over there, this THREAD, "We're just ONE ceramic anus bomb away from mandatory cavity exams," and this THREAD, "Thanks to the TSA and Airline industries - I have absolutely no desire to travel by air anymore."
The DUmmie--or are they FReeper?--comments are in Thread Level Red, while the commentary of your humble guest correspondent, Charles Henrickson, wanting somebody to write the book "Courage in Profilings," is in the [brackets]:
We're just ONE ceramic anus bomb away from mandatory cavity exams.
[We're SO CLOSE, benburch, aren't we?]
We cannot allow an Anus Bomb Gap. . . .
[Call Dr. Strangeglove.]
I'm wondering if the force of an intra-rectal explosive might not generate an air pressure shock wave sufficient to damage the fuselage of the aircraft.
[Laden, unladen, or been laden?]
"Rectum? Damn near killed 'em!"
[Thank you. Somebody had to say it.]
In that case, the next logical step would be mandatory enemas.
[With trends like these, who needs enemas?]
Now I get to decide if I want to be scanned by carcinogenic xrays or if I prefer to be sexually assaulted.
[They took an x-ray of a DUmmie's head and found nothing.]
Geez I'm a 40-something person born here in the USA. . . .
[Sure, that's what Obama said too.]
Did I mention those xrays can even show if I'm having my monthly curse or not (it will show if you're wearing a sanitary napkin).
[For those special times, Homeland Security will issue you an officially approved "Nappy."]
At least Canada is 6 hours away - I could drive there.
[I'll load the U-Haul for you.]
the last time I flew somewhere . . . it was Canada although it may have been Tampa.
[Now you'll have to pass through the Tampax-ray.]
It was FUN to fly in America, after the smoking ended and before the butt searching began.
[After the smoking ended, somebody was bound to search for the butt.]
Having known real freedom for so long, I don't want to become used to this level of intrusion. . . . we have overwhelmed good sense and given up the freedoms that made us a free people.
[Now apply that thinking to government intrusion into our freedoms in OTHER ways, and we'll make a conservative out of you yet!]
I survived drivign around Boston and that's fricking scary. . . .
[Especially the Pitt stops.]
Now I have to prepare myself to allow strangers to be touching me all over. . . .
[benburch's motto is "Always prepared."]
Personally however, this whole brouhaha would be tons better if Obama, Napolitano, and the rest of the TSA goons all went first through the scanners with their families.
[Having to see Janet Incompetano in the buff would cause TSA agents to quit in disgust.]
I wonder what would happen if I showed up at the airport naked?
[ben doesn't want to fly, he just wants to show up at the airport naked.]
Oh, some of them did. And frankly, some of us FReepers do too!
Just like we both hated the original TARP, and see how much that accomplished.
BWAAAHAAAAAHAAAAAAA!
America’s new national motto!
“These same DUmmies were complaining about the Patriot Act when Bush was president can now thank obummer for not being able to fly”
Media summary:
GWB: Monitoring phone calls to known terrorists overseas, creates a police state.
BHO: Capturing naked images of every flying American citizen, just keeping us safe!
...for finally getting a clue!
I could have awarded a Collective Kewpie to the whole bunch on this topic!
%%
I will not fly on American, though the salted nuts are free.
And I wont forget the men who tried to put their hands on me.
And I refuse to stand up (ouch) next to them while they probe up me today.
Cause there aint no doubt I hate this plan — God d**m the T.S.A.
%%
No kidding! I think this one outrage is bringing this country
together like nothing else could. How Zero handles it (no
pun entended LOL) will determine his future....I hope he fails, of course. LOL!
I’m laughing out loud...Charles, you outdid yourself with that one! “With trends like these, who needs enemas?” Love it!
BWAHAHAHAHA !!!!!
Really? I thought they spoke French
HA HA that good one Monk too bad you didn’t have Cigar guy YET on this poster
Janet and TSA will probably back off on this next week.
A week later a suspicious highjacking will occur proving janet and hussein was right all along then back to what we have now times 10 with the addition of federal molesters at all bus and train stations as well.
Of course to avoid this necessary molestation one could aways opt for a federal RFID/GPS implant for a nominal fee of $40 per month.
Bingo! This whole situation is strange enough that I am beginning to think this is the PLAN. In light of the recent election, this TSA outrage has deflated conservative spirits and gotten them angry. Interesting timing- not BEFORE the elections- right AFTER as if a punishment.
Now this also puts conservatives in the unusual position of wanting to back off on security- usually their strong point of national defense. Back off, suspicious hijacking/bombing occurs and it’s all the Republican’s fault! Now the Democrats actually seem like the ‘strong against terrorism’ party and there is a backlash against conservatives- just in time for 2012! Wait for it!
You call it a benefit? I'm SORRY I don't have the opportunity to embarrass them.
I’m one of those annoying “glass half full” people.
This is one of those rare issues where the right and the left agree that TSA has gone too far.
However; I don’t think that DU’ers would like the idea of profiling to stop this nonsense from the TSA.
