What did she actually do? Not kowtow obsequiously enough to the 80 I.Q., overpaid, overweight TSA petty tyrant at the gate? TSA... the home for all those loonies who can’t pass the psych exam to get on the local police force.
Your assessment sounds about right to me. Rush Limbaugh has had one or two incidents at airports. Soldiers and marines have had incidents at airports. I wonder if Sen Larry Craig would have any problem had he been a Democrat and openly homosexual.
I agree. Get rid of the TSA. Just get rid of it. For that matter, get rid of all so-called airport security. The X-rays... the metal detectors... all of it. I’d rather take my chances with terrorists than spend one more minute being stripped, magnetized, irradiated, wanded, patted down, interrogated, chemically sniffed, and scrutinized by these Keystone Kops. What’s next — anal probing?
If there were an airline with no “security” in return for signing a waiver or something, they’d get my business.
“I, ____________, with full cognizance of the increased risks associated with Dignity Airlines’ Passenger Bill Of Rights, hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the employees, management and stockholders of Dignity Airlines from all deaths, injuries, or other losses caused by or resulting from acts of air piracy, terrorism, or other crimes committed during my flight on Dignity Airlines. In addition, I and my heirs and assigns will hold Dignity Airlines harmless for any action undertaken by the United States government, U.S. military forces, foreign military forces, police and/or law enforcement agencies, or other parties resulting from crimes or acts of terror committed during my flight.”
Yes, I’m serious.
So, you have a problem with former militay personnel? The vast majority of TSA people that I know and work with are former military. Most are retired.
They also spit in the iced tea of those who think they are so superior.
Don’t mess with the airport police. Don’t mess with the stewardess. You have no rights. You will be arrested. They don’t need a reason. They can do anything they want to you.
Just say yes Sir, yes Maam. Check your dignity at the gate. You are a slave. Do as you are told. Don’t complain. Don’t resist.
The airlines are the modern day equivalent of communist East Germany.
I avoid flying at all costs.
Careful - the last time I made even milder accusations about TSA here on FR, I got flamed...
She complained at an airline counter. They used to just ignore people like that. Now I guess they can drag you to a secret room and execute you.
I think I'll just drive from now on.
You actually expect the TSA to go after ME looking folks who may be sympathetic to the jihadist cause? You actually expect the airport "security" guards to do what any halfwitted inbred would instinctively know is right?
How very silly of you. We all know that White folks are the real troublemakers in the world.
Pshaw! How naive!
