Just heard this on KFI radio, LA. "Security screeners required to use back of their hands while searching your private areas".
Even the news broadcaster, paused while saying this, with laughter in the background.
As millions pour across our borders illegally, at will, routinely, all but unabated.....
They're gonna know us like the back of their hands???
Ken & John will get a good laugh from this at 3PM.
Damn. That's just one more Civil Liberty that the government is taking away from us. I used to LOVE to go to the airport, especially the part where the TSA person would grope my johnson. Now, ya can't do that anymore...
I KNEW I should have voted for Kerry.
Oh good. That turns me on even more.
I was in the Philippines recently and you get searched to one degree or another going into malls there. At each entrance there would be a male and female line and a male and female security person there doing the pat-downs. I kept trying to play dumb (not a stretch for me) and get in the female line with the babe security agent, but it never worked.
Funny. I consider all areas of my person to be private areas. OTOH, I have to fly a lot, so...I'm subject to these searches. There it is. I rarely get picked for additional screening, but when I have it's been pretty painless. I'm not all that modest, in any case.
The next step is they will search your pelvic region with their pelvic region (will this make the line longer or shorter at security?)
I think that would make the lines last longer... and increase the need for privacy screens...
Oh no! now we'll get backhandled at the airport!
...and they'll have to bring back smoking in the terminals...
Sorry, that was not a civil liberty as in rights; it was just a previlege grope.
Awww man. And for a minute there I thought I had a case against the Patriot Act, and I could have gotten the ACLU to take the case for me...
Drat. Ok, moving on to money-making scheme #254,968...
They can only pat me down if I get to pat down the stewardesses. Woo-woo.
Good point LOL
From the title I was sure this was Scrappleface...
pleasw excueaz me, Iyam tyuring to tytpte with tyhe back of myy habnds.
On CSpan booknotes, I was listening to the author of "Flying Blind". He has testified before congress and Mineta (sp?) head of the transportation dept. has issued strict orders for NO profiling of any kind in airports. In fact, airlines have been fined millions for pulling aside Arabs on no fly lists charging discrimination. Sounds like Mineta is really looking out for us!
