Hundreds of outraged flyers are filing complaints with the American Civil Liberties Union over invasive security screenings as airports across the country this week brace for the threat of gridlock over the issue on the busiest travel day of the year.

One 60-year-old grandmother from Westport who opted for a pat-down over the full body scan told the Herald she felt “dirty’’ and “horrible’’ after the procedure last month.

Apparently there is no DADT at the TSA.

Lots of em coming out of the closet at the airport “security” grope lines.

Pardon me, but doesn’t the taking of this womans phone constitute yet another act of ‘Unreasonable Search And Seizure’?

Boston. Birthplace of Liberty, hub of Freedom.

Would be much simpler to set up a booth that will detonate any
explosive being carried, NEXT PLEASE....(per e-mail)

That needs to be made into a sign and posted at the approaches to all major and some minor airports.I dont think people are going to stand for this crap.

ONLY MUSLIMS ARE TO BLAME FOR THIS CRAP....OBAMA INCLUDED!

The last line in the linked article -

“Sen. John F. Kerry’s office declined multiple requests for an interview or statement on the subject.”

I seriously think that this is the start of bar coding people. The next thing they will come out with is the bar coded pass for frequent fliers. Your whole life's information will be on this card that will match up with your finger prints. If you fly frequently and are deemed to be a non threat you will be grateful for this pass. This is what they are counting on.

“Hundreds of outraged flyers are filing complaints with the American Civil Liberties Union...”

It was the ACLU and IslamoNazi CAIR that caused this fiasco, by preventing common sense profiling.

The Israelis don’t irradiate or manually rape their citizens. They carefully profile each person for highly selective searches.

Need a sheet of stickers of these in 1x2 or 2x3 to carry around in my computer case, surreptitiously place them on walls and doors at airport - just like the Obarry-As-Joker stickers I carry now.
Getting better and better at slight of hand, sticking them to surfaces with no one the wiser...

[ivyleaguebrat]

Eh... I would bet the vast majority of the “gropers” are even less comfortable with the policy than the passengers. Can you imagine that being your job, 8 hours a day? Plus enduring the (justified) outrage from passengers, due to a policy decision made by some toolbag in DC?

[An Old Man]

If you fly frequently and are deemed to be a non threat "

Are there people who are threats who fly frequently and who pass all the screening tests?

The problem is not just the TSA but they whole communists King Obama’s Administration. We have been overthrown and in the clutches of hard core communists and no easy way out. We will never go back to a free Constitutional America for many generations. Words won't do it.
