“Perverts With Power, Revisited”
“Doug Melvin: Sexual deviant, former Homeland Security commissar — or do I repeat myself?
For those frequently sentenced to commercial air travel, few things are less welcome than the following thought:
The taxpayer-fed Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at the airport security checkpoint could be a petty thief or a sexual deviant. And the odds are pretty good that the typical batch of TSA chair-moisteners includes at least one or the other. This makes things quite uncomfortable as TSA screeners paw through one’s luggage or conduct invasive personal security inspections.
About a year ago, a TSA airport screener in Ketchum, Idaho was arrested for kidnapping a young boy. Although identified as Robert Joe Harrison Jr., the screener was found to possess at least five separate identities. He was eventually acquitted of kidnapping, but found guilty of child enticement....”

“To the cases of Harrison, Melvin, and Figueroa we can add that of J. Brian Doyle, the former fourth-ranking official in DHS’s propaganda directorate, who was arrested for conducting sexually explicit cyber-conversations with what he thought was a cancer-stricken 14-year-old girl. And we shouldn’t forget the case of Michael Burks, the Homeland Security official snared in NBC Dateline’s “To Catch a Predator” sting roughly a year ago.
The problem, of course, is not that there’s a small number of perverts scattered through the DHS’s personnel pool like a handful of raisins in several gallons of rice pudding. The deeper cause for concern is the culture of impunity that characterizes that elephantine bureaucracy – a sense that those who work therein are made of holier, more refined stuff than the hoi polloi...”

These are people being groped because they refused to participate in a virtual strip search. The ‘probable cause’ being that they're customers of an airline which the TSA doesn't have to answer to. And if the airlines decide that they've had enough of this stupidity, it's the TSA who not only gets to pick who wins the contract to replace them, but STILL gets to determine all the policies, including these illegal strip searches without the slightest probable cause.
Seriously, what does a ceramic knife matter on a flight now adays? You can't get to the pilots, and the passengers certainly aren't going to sit around like sheep anymore trained to pacifisty. They're going to get up and beat the stuffing out of any idiot that tries to hijack a flight. And what plane is going to be brought down by a heroine syringe?
And fines for deciding that you don't wish to participate in this insanity and decide to leave the airport? Penalties for opting out of an illegal search?
This has got to stop, because those machines are already being installed in our nation's courthouses, and likely will be at the entrance to congress. It is the politicians who should be naked before the people, not the people disrobing to satisfy some nirvana of safety that’ll never be attained and truthfully shouldn't be attained.
Probably...
They want experienced workers...
Ask a voter for his ID before he casts his ballot? Racism, a return to the poll tax.
Fondling and groping of everyone passing through an airport, from toddlers to the elderly, in addition to requiring two forms of identification?
Hey, may run afoul of the fourth amendment, but that’s how it’s gonna be.
This will get ugly.
tsa needs to do a psych profile on those viewing the body scan images as they may be pervs and enjoy the view

The Blue Shirts
This may explain where TSA is getting half of their cheap labor force; from state and federal prison ‘work release’ programs. It’s a good deal for the Feds ‘cause the HLS budget can be skimmed to develop other absurd violations of liberty. It’s a good deal for the x-cons. And, as usual, it’s just a raw deal for the tax payers who fund all of this. De-fund EVERYTHING and start over and add a few Amendments to keep this from ever occurring again.
sarc/ What we need is a scanner outside the voting booth of each county of the restored republic that can detect liberal voters, displaying them as bright red, and which directs them to the fairytale ballot booth where only unicorns and pixies can be chosen. The Media will only be allowed to report on whether uni or pixy won the popular vote. The ‘reality show election’ will be a big hit and draw record advertising revenue. The rest of us here in actual reality can tend to our affairs with small government and let the liberal establishment live in their fantasy world. Headlines: Pixy won! We are all socialists now! They can proclaim in ignorant bliss while the adults run the free market economy. /sarc (but barely)
Someone was bound to ask this question.
The hidden details are probably no prettier than the surface.
