Security: We're not made safer by the TSA's authorized groping of Americans, full-frontal nudity scans of passengers or 3-year-olds pulled aside for holding on to their teddy bears. One young American has had enough.
It wasn't exactly "Don't Tread on Me" or "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death." But when John Tyner, a 31-year-old software programmer from Oceanside, Calif., refused a TSA "groin check," he uttered words soon to adorn boxers and briefs of freedom lovers everywhere: "You touch my junk, and I'm going to have you arrested."
Tyner refused what he considered "a huge invasion of privacy" while attempting to board a flight at San Diego International Airport. He "opted out" of the full-body scanner, which leaves nothing to the imagination, settling for the traditional metal scanner and a basic pat-down. But the groin check, in his view, went too far.
Tyner had turned on his cell phone's video camera and placed it atop the luggage he sent through the X-ray machine. The conversation between him and a TSA supervisor was, er, revealing. The supervisor explained that if he refused, he would not be allowed to fly and would be escorted out. Tyner responded: "OK, I don't understand how a sexual assault can be made a condition of my flying."
"This is not considered a sexual assault," the supervisor said.
"It would be if you were not the government," replied Tyner.
"By buying your ticket you gave up a lot of rights," countered the supervisor. Oh. We wonder if Benjamin Franklin, having said that those willing to sacrifice liberty for safety deserve neither, would submit to a groin check.

How about- “touch my junk, it’ll be the last thing you ever touch”-?!?!
“Radiation, penetration, or deportation. No one flies for free.”

"Don't touch me junk. Just get in my belly!"
As gay recruiting and Islamic pedophile recruiting runs high...TSA TRansvestite search army..
Look round all the Islamic looking aholes up and stripm search them, let the rest go through regular screening..
That would probably be considered threatening a federal officer.
Mark Levin says it like he sees it
What they need to do is establish a two-track system. Let those who are too squeamish to submit to a search board the Terrorist Target Airline, and the rest of us board the Searched Airline. Then when the next plane goes down, at least we can present the Darwin Award.
How about you change your screen name because it’s obviously either a joke or a misnomer.
Meanwhile they will excuse muslim women from full pat downs and not going through the pornoviewer.
Tell me how that makes sense, if we’re all safer going through this crap?
I can just see a great false flag op coming out of this. Further justification to force everyone into the pornoviewer or getting searched like an inmate in lockdown.
And for those of you who don’t mind being treated like an inmate in lockdown, don’t bother to reply. You’re already big brother compliant, I am not going to be, I will go through regular metal detectors like everyone else, but I draw the line at being radiated by the pornoviewer or being searched like an inmate. I won’t change your complacency, you won’t change my mind, so just don’t bother replying to me. Save us all some time.
What’s wrong with choice? If you put your privacy on such a high level that you can’t be seen on one of these computer screens, I don’t want to be on the same plane with you.
“and the rest of us board the Searched Airline...”
...where everyone was searched except for the Islamonazi who snuck a bomb inside her burqa.
What would be funny is photoshopped airport scanner pics of Uncle Jan!
Nah. She goes on the other airline. Or she submits to the search.
I’m envisioning a yellow flag with a snake sitting on two large boulders saying, “Don’t touch my junk.”
Is this documented anywhere? I read a good bit of the TSA website and I found no reference to what rights you give up by "buying a ticket."
Seems a lot like we are being compelled to submit to a search without a warrant.
Make retinal/thumbprint/DNA scanning "to avoid the hassle" seem unobtrusive by comparison.
Fascism part deux.
