Where were you bitching when Bush’s TSA instituted this policy?

This ain’t new. It’s almost 10 years old now.

Please, the same people bitching against these searches would be the same ones crying if some jihadi air attack happened.

Why didn’t you protect us? would be the crying refrain.

GFY.

You seem to have a problem with the fact that the TSA wasn't criticized as harshly on FR when Bush was President as it is being criticized today when Obama is President.

Simple answer: TSA's policy changed--and recently. Google it yourself, I'm not your research assistant, but this change and TSA's more intrusive method of "feeling up" passengers is why there is an outcry today.

Another answer: The TSA under current Leftist Nanny Napolitano is more PC and more intrusive than it was even under Bush's Leftist Ninny Norm Mineta. That also explains the increase in complaints.

And when Bush appointed Mineta as head of Transportation in his cabinet, there were PLENTY of Freepers who complained about it. That appointment was one of those hold-your-nose-shake-your-head Bush moments that did not pass without criticism on this website (see, e.g., the Harriet Miers debacle, No Child Left Behind, etc. etc.)

Bottom line: GWB did a few good things for conservatives during 8 years, but he did some harm, too. No thinking Freeper has ever given Bush a free pass on all issues.

And Bush's failures (and achievements, for that matter) have NOTHING to do with the outcry today.
