Some of us don’t need one, winky winky.

A easy to do two week boycott of air travel would set this right in a heart beat.

Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally. LOL

Check YouTube and enjoy.

Even better, all females should wear a remote control vibrator . . .

For that little something to stave off boredom on those long flights. ;)

You mean it couldn’t have come at a better time. The security plan was meant as a hit against travel.. It was intended to keep us all huddled in our miserable little existences, and to cripple the airline industry. The revolt has been a huge strike for freedom and has the socialists surprised. the socialists cannot keep the American people contained, too bad so sad.

Personally, I believe that every single member of Congress should have to go through one of these porno scanners before setting foot into the Capitol building every morning. They have security check points there as well - so put in the scanners and designate them SPECIFICALLY for congress men and women. Then post the scans all over the net so we the public can truly see who is the ‘biggest dick’. Its what they deserve.

Obama’s 2 daughters should be targeted SPECIFICALLY since the orders and money for these scanners came from him and paid for by the stimulus bill — so make his family suffer like he’s making ours suffer.

We should demand this action until congress passes a law to rescind these despicable machines at airports declaring them to be unconstitutional and a violation of our 4th amendment rights.

Yeah I know — I’m dreaming.

[Thumper1960]

It’d be nice if the “revolt” included some can-O-whupazz on any TSA morons available.

But, that’s just me.

[Zarro]

I had the same thought about demanding that Obama have his daughters go through. Then, it occurred to me that he probably WOULD have them do it. Yuck.

[JRandomFreeper]

I'll work on that. I expect it may be more 'fission cuisine' than fusion. :)

And I think they are called egg-rolls. But, as a culinary professional, I'll see what I can do.

I'm more of a jerk than most, and not shy about it. I'm sure many here will agree.

But leave the kids out of it. Seriously. God doesn't hold the sins of the father against the children. Neither should we.

Kind of a refried bean, kimchee, and chipotle mix...

[SandRat]

When the TSA pats down your butt, fart long, loud and stinky in their face.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Obama’s 2 daughters should be targeted SPECIFICALLY since the orders and money for these scanners came from him and paid for by the stimulus bill — so make his family suffer like he’s making ours suffer.

Let's not overlook the fact that Michael Chertoff, Bush's head of the DHS, is in the body scanner business and has been pushing these things since Bush was in office. This gross intrusion on our privacy and our rights has truly been a bi-partisan effort.

[JRandomFreeper]

It sounds good. And eyewatering. As soon as I can buy some ice cream, I'll start experimenting. I have the chipotle (hand crafted on premises), beans (pinto), cabbage and daikon radishes.

Now, it needs a name...

[JRandomFreeper]

DragonSlayer and EternalBurn are the only names that come to mind quickly. I'll have to mount a fire extinguisher in the bathroom when I start experimenting.

And maybe get an ice machine.

It is time for Trusted Traveler AND profiling.

Bravo to what you are doing! But your above conclusion is wrong. The TSA cannot be reformed. This should be up to the individual airlines to decide. There should never have been a TSA or anything involving the word "homeland". The terrorists won and our rulers love it.

[conservativegramma]

But leave the kids out of it. Seriously.

My sentiments exactly. You missed my point. Obama is MAKING OUR KIDS go through this humiliation. Why should HE or HIS KIDS get a pass????

[Army Air Corps]

Pedro’s Asian Enema?

[JRandomFreeper]

I didn't miss your point. I think it's wrong to target kids. Anybody's kids. And I won't do it or support it. It's a fundamental rule that I won't go against.
