EDITORIAL: Big Sister's police state--TSA's tyrannical tactics threaten American freedoms

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has crossed the line. As if subjecting millions of Americans to X-rated x-ray scans and public groping sessions weren't bad enough, the agency now threatens $11,000 in fines against anyone refusing to submit to humiliation at the airport.

Oceanside, Calif., resident John Tyner found this out after he posted on YouTube a video of his degrading encounter with TSA screeners. Mr. Tyner's catchy phrase, "If you touch my junk, I'll have you arrested," spread quickly, thanks to attention provided by the Drudge Report. TSA was not amused, and an official announced Monday that Mr. Tyner faces punishment for leaving the airport without submitting to the high-tech or low-tech molestation options.

The term is not used lightly. Under 18 U.S. Code Section 2244, " 'sexual contact' means the intentional touching, either directly or through the clothing, of the genitalia, anus, groin, breast, inner thigh or buttocks of any person with an intent to abuse, humiliate, harass, degrade." It's no coincidence that TSA initiated sexual-contact pat-downs after fliers began to refuse the pornographic scanners. There can be no question that when threats of civil punishment are used to ensure compliance, those encounters with the TSA lose their status as a voluntary transaction. It's even more outrageous that these unnecessary searches are being conducted on children.

The actions of Napolitano and her thugs are outrageous!

Just wait until the jihadis successfully hit a large, non-transportation-related target. Will we see these ridiculous scanners in front of post offices or other gov’t buildings?

[Errant]

I hope this action costs Ms. Napolitano her job!

[NormsRevenge]

I caught the Judge today with Neil. Go get ‘em Judge.

as Dirty Harry might opine..

A gubamintal agency needs to know its limits.

If we've made any advances and elected anyone with cojones, that bull dyke is going to spend a long time in prison on Constitutional violations that are too massive to envision. One way or the other, America won't emerge from this regime without being altered for better or for worse, if it survives at all.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Napolitano is a bull dyke lesbian.

Throughout history, when homosexuals are given positions of power, they abuse it.

Their wicked, God-hating, sin filled minds lash out at the innocent time, and time again.

If you don't believe me, read this book:

Amen!

I didn’t catch the Judge and Neil today but I imagine he isn’t pleased with this.

[Bean Counter]

[vigilante2]

If they tried that on me they’d be spitting teeth. I just won’t fly anymore!

[NormsRevenge]

one of his more animated visits.. he is not happy at all with the latest antics .. maybe what we need is a few Judges and politicos getting tossed off flights

[The Comedian]

Ironic PING!

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

This is Democrat socialist police state sexual degradation and molestation, including of children. Beyond the pale. Pure tyranny. Evil.

And for profit, too: Soros is connected to the company that makes the scanners.

[jazusamo]

I agree...Having known and known of several lesbians in positions of power you’re correct. I believe they feel they have something to prove and with that position of power they go for it and don’t look back.

[hal ogen]

If/When yhou decide not to fly, make sure you send letters to the airlines and to your congresscritter. For God’s sake, you governmental morons, search ALL mooslims. Tyranny.

[Arthur McGowan]

Please, please, please. Let the Soetoro regime keep doing this sort of thing! And, please God, they will exempt Muslims, over and over and over again. Keep sticking regular Americans in the eye, and keep exempting Muslims. All the way to November 2012.

[AmericanInTokyo]

It is also a fundamental violation of the US Constitution's FOURTH AMMENDMENT in my estimate. To the extent they do not profile, and then submit ALL Americans, even little kids, to this unwarranted Central Government Harrassment of the individual. It's getting to be no different than those agents' attitude in coming to get Elian Gonzales with automatic weapons point bank at the little one hiding terrified in a closet. Hands off the Muslims, but harrass the hell out of senior citizens, nuns, little kids, WWII vets. Get the picture?

Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.

[jazusamo]

I hear you, and you’re right. If they think 2010 was bad wait until 2012, it’ll be bloody.

You’re right on and Elian Gonzales is an excellent analogy.
