Ow. But that's probably an appropriate name.

One could also simply name it “Feel the Burn.”

“Grassroots groups are urging travelers to either not fly “

I would find another way to travel rather than pat downs. I heard CAIR said Muslim women should be exempt because it’s against their religion. If some activist judge gives them their way, then only “infidel” women will be patted down, who are not a terrorist threat.

Losing money is the only thing they really understand, so traveling another way is the best option, if at all possible. Travelers could take an extra day off from work, and take a bus, train, etc..

Another example of the ACLU being AWOL on a huge civil liberties issue. Oops, I forgot, as long as they don’t subject Arabs to this it’s not a civil liberties issue.

It is not just TSA @ the Airports...

Napalitano came to Oshkosh this year the big airshow. Quite frankly the audience is a bunch of old farts that love airplanes, restoring or building them. She comes with a cadre of black suit types with the ear piece, and gobs of locals and state cops as well. I can understand security of a cabinet member but does that smack of elitism? Why? We are not the enemy. We would like to use her forum, "Meet the Administrator" to ask poignant questions but with all that heat around who would risk getting hassled for redressing our government, which I thought this really old piece of paper says we still can do, or is it just a bunch of negative liberties. These people don't get it, do your job darn it, follow El Al's model and be done with it.

Just like Death Panels determining if you live or die; power and ultimate control for the Regime and wannabe dictator!

"Have a few spicy burritos beforehand in order “express your displeasure” with the TSA patdown..."

If I tried that, they'd say we were under a biological weapons attack and close down the entire airport, not just the concourse.

I get wanded AND patted down because I've had a pacemaker installed.

Heck, there are many of us that have had Top Secret clearances for decades, re-investigated every 5-yrs, and yet we are to be examined/groped by some TSA goon that passed (?) a simple background check-—once.

“Even better, all females should wear a remote control vibrator . . .For that little something to stave off boredom on those long flights. ;)”

OMG! I will never forget...

Standing in first class saying “bub-bye” while the economy passengers were very slowly exiting....sometimes at a stop. There was this “buzzing” sound as a young women was heading to the exit.

Very loudly, I said, “What’s that noise? Does anyone hear that? What is that?” I had no idea.

As she passed with her head down, two other flight attendants were falling down laughing at me.

After all the passengers left, they told me that was the sound of a vibrator! hee-hee
