TSA Opt-Out Day, Now with a Superfantastic New Twist! (Men, wear a kilt, no underwear)
The Atlantic ^ | November 14th, 2010 | Jeffrey Goldberg

Posted on 11/16/2010 11:51:17 AM PST by ironwill

But come November 24th, here's an idea you might try to make the day extra-special. It's a one-word idea: Kilts. Think about it -- if you're a male, and you want to bollix-up the nonsensical airport security-industrial complex, one way to do so would be to wear a kilt. If nothing else, this will cause TSA employees to throw up their hands in disgust. If you want to go the extra extra mile, I suggest commando-style kilt-wearing. While it is probably illegal to fly without pants, I can't imagine that it's illegal to fly without underpants.

And you work for NSA or Security or another Alphabet so you know this for a fact, eh?

Ho hum.

Try reading the newspaper or watching the news instead.

I-Team: Aviation Insecurity - Security Theater

"As bad as it (security) was back then, it's worse now," said outspoken critic and former FAA red team member Steve Elson.

Elson served on the FAA red team along with Bogdan Dzakovich prior to 9-11. Elson's job was to take weapons and bomb materials through checkpoint security, testing aviation security around the country and the world. Though he retired about nine years ago Elson still maintains close contact to specialists within the nation's aviation security community.

"We had about a 100% success rate," Elson said of the tests he conducted. "In other words they (the screeners) failed about 100%. We, the terrorists, were successful about 100% of the time."

"Now, in security in the TSA, we are increasing the odds of terrorist success," said Elson of security efforts today. "It's all a big facade. So you should be worried because somebody is going to hit us again."

I plan on carrying a large bag of pork skins on my next flight and holding them prominently for all to see.

I carry bacon bits.

If Obummer gets a second term folks will be required to take a laxative and crap into a clear glass toilet “for security”.

the crazy thing is they’d still let the psychotic traveler go through as long as he cleared the scanner.

I very seriously doubt they'd feel him up or stop him!

They need to profile, question, and use bomb sniffing dogs.

Put some vasacline down there and tell them you have a little herpes goin’ on. But not to worry. You don’t think it is contageous. :)

That reminds me. There oughtta be a lot of farting goin’ on out there while the government molests us. Most men I know can do it on command. Airport molestation operations should be a stinkin’ stop.

“In addition, I would prep for the trip by not bathing for, oh, about a week. :D”

Please don’t. I flew from Philly to Copenhagen near a woman who smelled like she never, ever bathed.

Does the government own the airlines that they can dictate how the airlines and their customers do business?

All the more reason to stay off the plane, I'd say. Sorry 'bout that.

lol.

This infuriates me that Janet Napolitano is even CONSIDERING granting waivers to Muslim women. I’m a Christian and they could violate me however they want to but if I was Muslim I would be protected? That’s a bunch of bullcrap!

It does tell you how they will try to get sharia here though. We better be taking notes. This is how they’ve worked on it in the UK as well.

Sorry, but I fly a lot and prefer to be safe. It only takes a few seconds to be very dead along with a few hundred others.

Sorry, but the terrorist can stick the PETN up his ass. It will not be detected by the FBS. Waste all the time you need. Just know, the FBS will not save you from being very dead along with a few hundred others.

Faux scrutiny makes for faux security.

Uh, if you’re wearing anything underneath, it’s not a kilt, it’s a skirt. I have two kilts. Have thought seriously about going this route, and flashing them like the scene in Braveheart.

Have you been on Mars or something. The government has decided that it can do anything without there being any consequences.
