Elect a Democrat and watch them burn the Constitution.
you don’t want a love pat?
Put gamma and infrared radiation in there too
Thanks Ron - good to know someones standing up for us.
Elect a Democrat and watch them burn the Constitution.
israel have one of the toughest airport security and they don’t use this
Allow pilots and concealed weapons permit holders to carry their handguns aboard flights, and there will be little worry of any terror indents. 911 wouldn’t have happened if this were the case.
I’m with Ron Paul on this one!
Ya' gotta' love the turds in government...........
I wonder if RP will vote against this act now that he has proposed it.
Where is GOP Leadership? Why don't is see a stream of GOP Senators and Congressmen who say they want limited Government, but are responding to Oppressive, Tyrannical Government practices?
The “Don’t touch my junk” act.
Amendment 4 - Search and Seizure. Ratified 12/15/1791.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
No federal employee or agency or any individual or entity that receives federal funds shall be granted immunity to any or all federal laws currently in effect. The preceding sentence shall apply even if the individual or the individual's parent, guardian, or any other individual gives consent.
So if it's a crime for you or me to fondle a stranger, then it's illegal for any federal employee or agency to fondle a stranger.
Likewise for the voyeurism of the new scanning machines.
I guess there really are some things we can all get behind.
OK, listen up, товарищ!
Those for "fondling", you go to the left. And those for "photos", you go to the right. торопиться!!
The problem is that asymmetrical warfare has driven the nation to the point where we are almost turning on our own. In this, the terrorists have succeeded beyond their dreams. We are now in a place where domestic and international flying has become a nightmare well beyond the difficulties associated with jet lag, bad weather and bad schedules and has assumed the dimensions of fear, suspicion, humiliation, delay, indignities, absurdities, and ineffectual policies foisted upon us by political correctness. The conundrum of the terrorists asymmetrical threat is bad enough, and expensive enough God knows, without we Americans turning ourselves and committing political correctness upon ourselves.
The problem is that we cannot simply dismiss these security measures because there is always another underpants bomber waiting to board the next plane. It is true, we must be right 100% of the time and they need only one lucky hit. It is also true that if we think that we can rationalize the process by refraining from patting down nuns and three-year-olds, it will take the terrorists about five minutes to realize that they can smuggle explosives onto aircraft by women disguised as nuns or in their own babies diapers. Profiling, racial or ethnic or otherwise, is a necessary tool but it is insufficient. The fact that we do not profile is a withering indictments of our politically correct culture and politics. But even if we profiled without regard to the sensitivities of CAIR, they would infiltrate around the profile parameters. I do not think that we can adopt the Israeli system which contemplates long interviews of people who trigger their profiles. We are flying too many people to undertake this procedure as the only method in the absence of technology. Yet, the method ought to be adopted on a selective basis just as profiling should be adopted. Again, necessary but not sufficient. We must remember that one successful explosion of one aircraft will cost tens of billions of dollars in ripple effect and devastate the air industry. We must also understand that there are a sufficient number of suicide bombers who would offer themselves up to achieve this end so there is virtually no deterrent effect in catching these people by the Israeli method. So that brings us back to technology. It is always a temptation to permit oneself to be seduced by technology. That is likely to occur if one seeks the silver bullet but of one deploys technology in a coordinated fashion with other techniques one develops a layered effect which is probably the most effective shield against this kind of asymmetrical warfare. I think the machines which see through clothes are indispensable. Certainly, if conservatives succeed in having them eliminated and an airplane is blown out of the sky killing hundreds of Americans and crippling the airline industry, the political damage will be great. It is fundamental that privacy must be preserved and I think I the whole we will find that it is. It should not require much oversight to assure American people that their privacy is in fact being preserved.
It seems to me that we need to have a privatized system, adopting much of the Israeli approach, but using technology as much as possible. The passenger should be permitted to prove his bona fides once and for all and be issued a certification, combined with fingerprints and eye print which will enable him to go through security virtually unexamined. The same is, of course, true for airline personnel. Is the occasional traveler who cannot afford or who is not forewarned enough before his flight who must undergo the rigors of examination.
We could reduce the agony by reducing the time it line. The absence of the passengers who are certified will shorten the line. Certainly, extra isles and more personnel can move the lines along faster. I would be willing to pay another dollar or two per flight to pay for this.
At all costs the effort to unionize the government employees must be stopped. The operation should be privatized and the airlines should carry the responsibility and the risk as much as possible, subject to close government oversight, because it is the airlines who have the most to lose in a pecuniary sense.
Eventually, the bad guys are going to get one of our planes. We have to prepare for the economic impact in advance.
It is all well and good to rail against lunacies of the administration at Janet Napolitano, but it is also necessary to understand that these are the prices we unavoidably must pay in asymmetrical warfare. The point is not to stack on costs through political correctness.
No law of the United States shall be construed to confer any immunity for a federal employee or agency or any individual or entity that receives federal funds, who subjects an AMERICAN to any physical contact (including contact with any clothing the individual is wearing), X-rays, or millimeter waves, or aids in the creation of or views a representation of any part of a AMERICAN’s body covered by clothing as a condition for such AMERICAN to be in an airport or to fly in an aircraft. The preceding sentence shall apply even if the AMERICAN or the AMERICAN’s parent, guardian, or any other AMERICAN gives consent.
Now that’s how long federal bills should be. Not two pages, not 2000, but two sentences.
Likewise, the Second Amendment, taking into consideration today’s climate and lack of understanding of original intent (see the 14th Amendment), should be amended to simply say “The Right of the People to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.” (emphasis mine for those control-freaks in government)
