National Opt Out Day Nov. 24

[rightwingextremist1776]

Should be EVERY STINKIN’ DAY!

I'm thinking of "Braveheart".

Picture a victorious army taking over territory. The fighting has stopped. There is stability. The new overlords are in place, and the peasants are cowed. Then, the overlords start molesting the women -- right in front of the men. Then the overlords start with the children -- the father is held back from comforting his child, while the leering overlord has his way with the youngster.

This is what makes people want to commit violence.

Makes me sort of wonder what type of trauma is being inflicted upon children. A child is scared, embarrassed, or hurt (grabbing genitals causes pain) and a parent stands there not helping. Even when this man tried to verbally comfort his son, he was admonished. As a Mom to three blessings, I can honestly tell you that children have a natural modesty and feel the same types of embarrassments that adults do. Sad. Just a thought.

I’ll bet that the filthy muslims are laughing their asses off at us. We need to be targeting muslims like the Israelis do and make this process miserable for THEM not us.

[Truth29]

If this report is accurate (like the video of the three year old girl being aggressively groped by a TSA agent), the parent should come forward and prefer charges of child abuse against the agent. At least one DA has stated they would prosecute such charges if they are a violation of existing law and that Federal agents are not exempt fro such laws.

TSA employees are becoming America’s most hated people.

Screw the 24th. National opt out day needs to start today and continue every day. Opt out, as in “if I need to fly there, I opt out of travelling there”.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I get more disgusted with this ineffective, wasteful, worthless administration every day. If we had ONE president who wasn’t such a damned PC MORON who would stand up and put a stop to this crap, that person could be elected tomorrow.

"He was pleading for me to help him and I was admonished for trying to comfort him," the comment on the blog states. "His genitals area was groped. He walked down to the plane in tears."

TSA or not, some adult makes my kids cry and they're going to the hospital.

[massgopguy]

Hey, they’re just “following orders”.

[Sacajaweau]

This is just wrong.....This whole search thing is wrong.

If we had profiled, paid attention to our no fly lists and never had the Gorelick wall, we would have caught and/or stopped every one of these bas*****. Stop the PC crap....

[knittnmom]

I already have. I will not be traveling next week by plane. I had considered flying down to spend Thanksgiving with my parents in Branson, because my husband doesn’t want me to drive alone. (He can’t get the time off.) With all this going on, no way am I flying.

This is so stupid when dogs can be trained and chemical detection devices are available.

[Iron Munro]

Government schools will have to modify their "Good Touch - Bad Touch" lesson plan.

Good Touch: You or your mommy getting fondled and cavity searched in public by government employees

Bad Touch: Sitting on a relative's lap

[Verginius Rufus]

I've read that people are subject to an $11,000 fine if after learning that their options are going through the machine or being groped they say they have changed their mind and don't want to fly after all. The "don't touch my junk" guy reportedly could be sent to jail.

How much will people put up with? What would happen to a parent who tried to intervene to protect their child? Given the way this administration behaves, I imagine the government would want to make an example of them to intimidate every other parent from doing the same.

That the TSA agent doing the groping will be of the same sex as the person being groped is of no help when you don't know if the TSA agent is a sex offender or pervert.

The 4th amendment is dead--the government can treat 300 million citizens as if they are criminals. All to avoid offending the Muslims.

Winthrop man sought in connection with child rape case (Boston/Logan TSA employee)

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

I’m surprised the boy’s father didn’t kick the TSAhole’s ass. If that was my kid, The TSA dude would need new dental work and I’d be in jail.

What do you expect?

If The Won is not a closet Muslim, he's an atheist Muslim-sympathizer.

Unfortunately, I do not think you can lay this all at the feet of Obama. The PC approach of the TSA in the wake of 9-11 began under Bush. Yes, George, "Islam is a religion of Peace" Bush. Remember how he appointed democrat Norm Mineta to be head of the TSA? Mineta and his family had been in one of those WW2 internment camps and Mineta was determined to be as PC as possible in his handling of screening at the TSA.

You are correct that we need someone to start leading on this. Republicans need to start declaring war on political correctness, which is being used by our enemies and will result in our deaths if it is not stopped. I think PC is a bigger threat than the muzzies because it ties our hands and enables them to do their will.
