When you become a parent, ping away to your namby pamby wishy washy heart's content on some lib site.
Until then keep your mouth shut about what you label an "overreaction" on anyone's part over that young boy being fondled half naked by adult male strangers at the behest of your government, felt up the inner and outer portion of his legs, followed by the same stranger inappropriately touching the young boys private parts while the boy tried to shove the stranger's hands away!
What is wrong with you??!!
Condoning any of those hideous TSA actions because the boy was not naked shows how blind you are, how bereft you are of any sense of morality.
“til then keep your mouth shut about what you label an “overreaction” on anyone’s part over that young boy being fondled half naked by adult male strangers at the behest of your government”
ditto.
I have a 3 year old girl and 7 year old boy. Parents spend so much time teaching them to be wary of strangers. We teach them that their body is theirs, and that their “privates” are private. We teach them that that only parents and doctors can see or touch them there if there is a medical problem.
Then, we are going to go to an airport and teach them that any schlub in police like uniform has the right to touch them all over?
I think not.
Let’s be really clear. These are not law enforcement officials. They are administrative officials performing administrative searches. This is not a police officer performing a law enforcement search due to probable cause or arrest. This is not a medical doctor performing a required medical procedure.
These are f_cking bureaucrats in a unifrom that is supposed to make people believe they are cops, so that we will do as told.
I know case law says that REASONABLE administrative searches can be required. What I haven’t been told is where in the law it says that administrative searches supercede sexual battery laws.
Further, as a parent I have no right to say “sure touch my kids genitals” other than for medical and hygene reasons. Without a law giving these bureaucrats the right to touch children’s genitals, they are LITERALLY molesting children.
Finally, if and when someone tries to pat down my kid(s), I will say no and I will demand to see a background check on anyone that wants to touch my child. I will also demand to have my phone so I can look up that person on the child molester registry.
I will teach my children that their bodies are their own, and I won’t let anyone grope them... damn the consequences in the short term.
Yes, isn't it ridiculous that some people here think that terrorism is a threat and that terrorists can be ruthless creatures who will use innocents to carry their materials through security or even to detonate them?
I, for one, want to be sure to make it clear to terrorists that we will not check certain people too carefully. We shouldn't make it so difficult on these hijackers/bombers--I mean, they're going to have a rough day as it is, martyring themselves...why try to stop them? </sarc>
