It isn't just the airline "security." It is the complete loss, (...or is it abolition?) of common sense and decency. It's the bad guys rising to power. I don't mean the men, but the demons behind them who manipulate the weak-minded and godless like pawns on a chess board. It should come as no great surprise. It is all prophesied. As Christians, we know how it ends, and that gives us hope and courage, but there is the natural, human side that gets pretty demoralized these days with the constant awareness of how much things are NOT as they should be.

Frankly I'm more angry that the ACLU is trying to do in the Boy Scouts........those eeevil uniformed fascists.....but that's not over, we're beginning to win, and the crazies are actually being beat for the first time I can remember.

We're in a fight, one Hell of a fight, but for the first time in a long time, I have a lot of hope that it's going to the good guys right now.

Depends on who's doing the groping, eh? :)

the reason that this has come up is that the TSA has changed it's rules. I have been patted down, but it wasn't that intrusive. TSA is now being more "thorough" in its physical searches. My mother was taken aside and placed in a room and made to strip to her underwear. I can't imagine why she was picked for such a search.

I think that there is strong disagreement on this topic, and I'm going to quit, now. This is supposed to more of a fun thread.

Amen.

The Lord is in His Heaven,
and we are just down here wandering around like blind geese.

Trust me Loddy the more you read the scriptures the more you know becauses if you listen the Lord talks to you!

So one is only groping in the dark when they fail to walk towards and remain in the light!

John 8
12 ¶ Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

John 12
35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

I was bedridden with pain killers and muscle relaxers for 3 days

That sounds just like me. My "choice" is either between excrutiating pain or risking humiliating groping/pawing/patting.

My "choices" aren't great anymore. I can either quit my job or fly. I can either miss my best friend's funeral because it is a 14 hour drive away or be molested getting there. Growing up in a city, I never allowed anyone near me to molest me... now they can paw away if I absolutely must fly.

Did you see Darlins post earlier about the Israeli airline searches?

I think I missed your earliers posts about your best friend's funeral. I'm very sorry to hear that. I used to be able to drive 14 hours in a day, but I can't do it anymore.

So do I, except I don't feel very confident in the future they're living for. This isn't the country my ancestors fought and died for.

I know. I will never forget my grandfather having a hissy fit when he learned that he had to get a drivers license in Louisiana. He was correct in his statement that he paid for the damn roads and now they wanted to tax him again. But, it came to pass.

Now we are fighting to disallow illegal immigrants from obtaining them. It has ever been this way. We lose our freedoms in our Republic as our world becomes smaller.

But, national security is not something I want to be wary of, really.

I grew up in southwest Idaho. Is that close enough to Canada to have had an influence?

I hope so Sharky; I really do, but until I see the ACLU ground into dust and blown away with the dust, I won't be satisfied that that dog's dead. What I have problems with is the fact that it's head should have been blown off years ago, and the country spared the misery it's caused. Let's face it, the bad guys can't have any power that the good guys don't allow, at least not for long. What has happened to commitment to virtue and wisdom? Have we no ideals as a nation anymore, anything at all that we won't sell out for political favors?

My goodness what an experience for your mom, I'd certainly be upset about that too and want to know why. And I do understand the points you both have made in your posts. There is validity in them.

No strong disagreements coming from me either. I wish we didn't require the security but unfortunately that isn't our reality. At least for now. Guess I'd better pay more attention to how I dress when I get on airplanes in the future. yikes....

Thank you very much - that was in July when I flew to SFO. Coming back was especially traumatic. Thanksgiving my other good friend died at 33. Not to sound callous but at least that was local and I only had to drive a mile to the funeral home. This last (fun trip) drive to the Mojave (only eight hours) has absolutely floored my back and now I am facing my "choices" for the future. Maybe some new pain pills will be invented I can take while driving. Maybe Amtrak would work.

Yep. Pretty dang close.

We're less than an hour away here, not to mention the hockey thing.

Yah! No Stanley Cup this year........Eh.....

When I do have to fly, I only wear my watch and wedding ring for jewelry. I wear slip on shoes, and a sports bra with no metal. That seems to help so far.
