The DA is saying “skin to skin” - under clothing or over clothing......I am sure they would point out that the ones doing the screening are wearing gloves, so that can’t come under the definition of “skin to skin.” We’re on to all their tricks and defenses. As for Napolitano saying all these procedures were studied before they were put in place. Oh! I will be sure to believe Napolitano.

Let’s check out the AZ/TX/NM/CA borders, Janet and then tell us how you intend to protect us! Airplanes won’t be necessary for the next wave of attacks by terrorists - they’re walking across the borders and traveling by motor vehicles to their intended targets. What’s next in your feeble mind?

For goodness sake, get ahead of the curve - adopt a REAL BASIC SECURITY POLICY instead of reacting to every burp! Only one way to do that:

P R O F I L E!!!!!!

He is showboating something he cannot deliver.

Hard to deliver, not impossible. One looks to details of the allegedly criminal incident, and for patterns and supporting evidence as well.

Convictions from this are unlikely, true, but this is definitely a good sharp smack in the face against TSA. They will -ALL- be more careful now.

An additional issue is tort liability, which is outside the DA’s scope of duty or authority, but not outside of the victims’ options.

Exactly and take the video to your local DA and Grand Jury Foreman and demand that they prosecute.

By the end of the decade passengers will be forced to drink a laxative, then sit in open view on a glass toilet bowl until they crap.

Anyone getting on a plane, that has to go through these pat-downs/feel-ups, should ask these questions of the TSA agent...

Are you a QUEER ?

Have you ever had homosexual thoughts?

Does the TSA have a policy that excludes QUEERS from employment?

If the TSA has no such policy, I must assume that you may be, and or, likely are, a QUEER and any touching by you is a sexual assault.

I can just see it now...class action suit against the TSA for groping...TV commercial with a lawyer’s name if you want to call in and join the lawsuit, LOL.

What this DA said is absurd. What constitutes overly touchy...it’s so subjective...a regular “he said, she said” scenario, except since it’s same sex pat downs let’s make that a “he said, he said” and a “she said, she said” scenario.

We don’t need convictions. Thousands of indictments in Cities across America will bring BO & Big Sis’ terror campaign against the American People to a halt.

As ruled by Justice Lewis Powell a Grand Jury Indictment can be based on “...tips, rumors… or the personal knowledge of the grand jurors.”

On a radio interview someone said that the pat downs will not prevent another disaster because the next will be a swallowed explosive device or one in a body cavity set off by a cell phone.

Yes and remember BO & Big Sis are exempting their Terrorist Pals from Full Pat Downs, so they can bring the explosives onto Planes in their stomachs, body cavities or breast implants. All BO & Big Sis’ muslim Terrorist Pals have to do is wear a muslim scarf and they get passed through security with merely a head and neck pat down.

“I can just see it now...class action suit against the TSA for groping...TV commercial with a lawyer’s name if you want to call in and join the lawsuit, LOL.”

Here’s your commercial:

Have you been publicly humiliated by the TSA? Have you had your genitals fondled in Airport security by a 300lb woman with while her eyes rolled back into her head and she uttered unintelligible moans?

Have your breasts been groped by a toothless old man?

Have your children been felt up by a Barney Frank look-alike?

Are you a Nun who has been stripped searched?

If you are any of these or were molested in other ways at Airport Security and want to participate in a class action lawsuit against the TSA, please call the attorneys of, blah blah blah....

“The DA is saying “skin to skin” - under clothing or over clothing’

So if they wear a condom it ain’t rape?
