I blame Drudge! Yes, I blame the Drudge Report for this insane controversy about the use of high-tech body scanners and "pat-downs" at airport security zones.
A minor altercation can take place at Genghis Kahn International Airport in Ulan Bator, Mongolia, and it is headlines on the Drudge Report. The millions of American travelers who are utterly insouciant to a high-tech scan or even a pat-down are ignored. The other day a CBS News Poll found that fully 81 percent of Americans approve the use of the high-tech machines at the airport, but that means nothing to Drudge. How many more Americans would welcome a soothing pat-down midst the hurly-burly of travel at our nation's stress-filled airports I do not know, but count me in -- especially if the pater-downer is a cute little number on the order of, say, Sarah Palin.

Perhaps you and the other fools at American Spectator
don't mind being treated like new arrivals at Auschwitz
but the rest of the freedom loving Americans do.
How about we do this
1. Islam and the Muslims with whom we are at war with
get x-rayed and searched.
2. The rest of us.
just get on the plane.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
-Benjamin Franklin-
Perhaps you, Emmett don't deserve your freedom but
don't include the rest of us.
Drudge is doing the freedom loving American a service
by reporting this and is acting as the fourth column of
a good government.
sssssmmmmmmmmmooooooooocccccccchhhhhhhhh.....
layin the brown nosin on pretty thick this mornin aint ya???
The one 'patting you down' is the same gender as you.
Last ET column I’ll ever read.
“sssssmmmmmmmmmooooooooocccccccchhhhhhhhh”
“layin the brown nosin on pretty thick this mornin aint ya?”
Well, he/she/it does seem to be from San Fran, and worked in a bookstore.
Sounds like s DUmmie to me, hahaha.
And in other news, rumor has it that Mr. Fwank was seen loitering around the TSA area wondering how to be examined 25 times instead of just one.
WELL, GET OVER IT, PROLES! (chides the Ruling Class representative Mr. Tyrrell.) The State has decided that the Fourth Amendment is no longer operative, and no amount of whining on Facebook, (quoth the Ruling-Class Emmett Tyrell, for that is what the R stands for) and no amount of gibbering on Drudge will change the status quo!
We must trust The Won, and let him lead us to victory over the terrorists. Never mind the Israeli methods! You are too stupid to understand that these won't work in America.
In the words of the Founders, Mr. Ruling Class Tyrell, "Don't Tread on Me."
In the words of my generation, "Don't Touch My Junk."
"Soothing"?...."Sarah Palin?" ...lol, Mr. Tyrrell is engaged in some mighty wishful daydreaming.
Earth to Emmett: you'll most likely be patted down by a dude named Achmed. ...and I suspect the adjective you use to describe the experience won't be "soothing."
“especially if the pater-downer is a cute little number on the order of, say, Sarah Palin.”
“The one ‘patting you down’ is the same gender as you.”
Again with the gratuitious jab at Governor Palin. Just for him, his “pater-downer is .... Helen Thomas. In this case, gender is irrelevant.
You are going way overboard.
I disagree with Tyrell on this issue, but for the most part American Spectator (and Tyrell) usually have some of the most brilliant conservative political commentary that exists.
We need to stop jumping all over OUR FRIENDS on our side and calling them ‘fools’ and bad names when we disagree on one point.
especially if the pater-downer is a cute little number on the order of, say, Sarah Palin.
The one ‘patting you down’ is the same gender as you.

Unless they are homosexual. It’s all very confusing.

Well I think it should be choice. If this guy feels safer by having himself scanned and probed, then by all means he should do it. Anything you need to feel safer flying. But I choose not to be scanned and probed ... therefore I should be able to walk past it. (Sort of like I do at the recycling area at our local dump). If those folks want to play “save the planet” ... let ‘em. I’d rather dump the bags and move on with my life.
Kinda what I was HOPING.
Thank you. That was very well said.
Since when do we live in a police state that molests children in the name of security? And why would anyone who has read the 4th Amendment agree to such a travesty?
No, he’s not going overboard.
The government is now allowed to subject our children to pedophilia. Anyone who supports this even in the least is utterly insane and should not be considered “our friends.”
