Jesse Ventura, announced he will no longer use commercial airlines due to the egregious abuses of the TSA and the government.
Ventura said he made the decision to avoid public aircraft after he found himself becoming too comfortable with being routinely searched. He said he was subjected to pat down and search three or four times a week when he traveled for his television show. Ventura had hip surgery and the metal in his body invariably sets off airport metal detectors.
Jesse said he will no longer be forced by the TSA to prove he is not a criminal or terrorist. He refuses to be considered guilty until proven innocent by the government in violation of the Fourth Amendment. He also admitted the decision not to fly may put an end to his career.

“I had Dennis Miller (radio) on in the background when Ventura came on to promote his conspiracy show a couple of weeks ago.”
While I’m thinking about it, any of you who get HBO or have access to it someway must check out Dennis Miller’s new comedy special which first aired Friday night - it’s GREAT and will re-air many more times clear through Dec. and Jan. He’s so brilliant that I’m always amazed how many people (libs now that I think about it!) don’t “get” him. Heck, even Jon Stewart recently called him the most intelligent comic around (even though they’re polar opposites politically), since way back when they were all starting out years ago.
Another great thing to see is Brit Hume’s 6-part special on FNC (part 3 aired tonight and will re-air a couple of times next Sunday), The Rise, Fall and Future of Conservatism - All Right, All Along. Very informative and entertaining as well, with lots of interview clips and history film footage.
“Hooters needs to think outside the box and start its own airline.”
Good thing they won’t need the name Virgin Airlines, eh? LOL
Jesse "the Brain" Ventura is tired of Jesse "the Body" Ventura being harassed.
In the world of professional wrestling I'll bet this makes perfect sense. The guy ought to run for political office!
John Madden wouldn't fly. Never hurt his career.
