Members of Law Enforcement are allowed to pat anyone down who they feel might pose a threat. I don't know if this is true for TSA people, but regardless, I hate people who think there is some honor in hassling a guy trying to do his job and keep people safe.

Oooh, you didn't submit to safety regulations at the airport, way to rage against the machine!

It's a pat-down, it's not like he demanded a cavity search. Psycho Civil-libertarians are small, petty people.

P.S. If you think being searched at an airport after 9/11 is humiliating, you are emotionally unstable. It's part of life. Pat downs are not tantamount to Secret Police and Gulags. Get some perspective. Lose the hyper-sensitivity. Above all, don't be a jerk at the airport. The rest of us would like to catch our flight without some Wannabe Rosa Parks trying to make a statement and holding up the line.

Maybe, if anything they were doing would actually keep us safe. Which it won't.

Wait. That will be coming soon.

If the job was actually keeping anyone safe, fine. Let me know when the TSA stops an old white woman with a bomb, CaptainPC.

However, random fondling is okay with you. I'll need an introduction to your daughter and wife and your travel itinerary. It's about security, you understand.

And those who suck up to authority are smug, arrogant ones. But that big shit-eating grin of yours will fade off right quick when a nuke goes off in the U.S. because the federal government was too busy stripping grannies to check out containerized cargo or seal the southern and northern borders.

So true and very well said.

"hassling a guy trying to do his job"

Right, they do not make the rules, they just try to follow them and then they get called goons.

I'm done with this thread. Your (our) day is coming. Thanks.
