Officials feel furor of airport pat-downs
Washington Times ^ | 11/21/10 | Joseph Weber

Posted on 11/21/2010 7:44:40 PM PST by Nachum

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton acknowledged Sunday that she considers tighter airport security uncomfortably intrusive, while the head of the Transportation Security Administration backed away some from his earlier hard-line defense of pat-downs and full body scans. When asked in an appearance on CBS' "Face the Nation" whether she would submit to a body scan, Mrs. Clinton said, "not if I could avoid it. No. I mean, who would?" She also said the Obama administration must find a way to "limit

Furor or Fuhrer?

i sent an email to my elected Federal delegation.

Rep/Senator SoAndSo:

Fair Warning:
Rein in the TSA before We the People do it for you.

I wonder if they’ll ever get the message. /s

Anyone else get the feeling that Hillary is trying to distance herself from Obama, possibly in preparation for another primary campaign?

They haven’t felt enough furor until it stops, and is replaced with a sane, risk-based approach, pure and simple!

I doubt she'll run. She's old, uninspiring and a poor candidate. Plus, she's rich. I think the fire is gone.

Obama is not capable of destroying America on his own. But he has a few under him that are.Eric Holder is one,Janet Napolitano is another ,along with various other obscure fascists whose names have been secreted from the public: those who write bogus risk assessments for Homeland Security, based on political ideology for example, instead of genuine intel.

America must fight this now. We did not chose this battleground, nor did we chose the timing. This is the nature of such demographic warfare.

If we do not fight it now, and win, then we will not win at the ballot box and will be left to the sole remedy of our founding fathers.

IMHO Obama and the TSA need to be figuratively crucified on this.And it needs to happen ASAP. Custodial janitors without the status of law enforcement have no business violating the 4th amendment rights of Americans, perpetrating warrantless searches on us with no probable cause, all because the president has an ideology that classifies profiling and intelligence data as rascist?

I say we get them now, and lay them low.Call it a pre-emptive strike. Call on all TSA workers to go on strike or resign for being required to perpetrate these crimes against innocent Americans.

Call for the impeachment and resignation of Obama, Napolitano and Holder. Pistole is being offered as a sacrificial lamb.His head is not enough.He will be replaced by someone worse.

Only those who fit the terrorst middle eastern profile should be required to be scanned or patted down. All of this search and assault crime by TSA is being perpetrated to avoid that strategic requirement. This idoicy will also guarantee that a terrorist attack over the holidays will be successful.SHAME!

This crime is not only wrong, it is designed to cover Obamas A$$ should an attack be successful, while guranteeing the success of an attack ( We can absorb an attack....Obama......we did all we could etc.....).

This is very serious business. The lives of many Americans depend on our turning this back to real security based on profiling and intel. The people's safety needs to trump presidential fascist political correctness.Right NOW there is no airport security.The gates are wide open for terrorists to succeed, a point lost on most in this scuffle.Get adults back in charge of the security of America.

These are NOT the people who caused 9/11, nor are they the type of person who perpetrated the terrorist attempts last Christmas and Thanksgiving:

These people constitute the risk, and that is data driven , even if politically incorrect, safety trumps ideology( America demands it.):

Political correctess has one assured result in war on terror: It gets you dead.The reason for this is that no facts can be designated as ignorable and still result in sustained safety of life. Data must be real, not politically made up.This is well known by Israel, which is why they do not use politcally correct security arrangements.

A combination of Civil Rights violation law suits and criminal charges against the TSA Screeners themselves, as individuals, is what will bring a halt to this travesty.

4th Amendment challenges on the Civil Rights front to bring an injunction against the policy and procedure. And, in cases where genitals are handled — either directly or through clothing — the pressing of criminal charges for Sexual Abuse under Title 18 U.S.C. sections 2242, 2244, and 2246. The activity is clearly actionable due to the coercive nature of the conditions and the threat of an $11,000 fine if one refuses to undergo the abuse.

Bill Clinton did not have sex with that woman, Monica Blewklinski, he was protecting national security with an R. G. Dun.

What is even worse than these intrusive techniques is the hardline TSA response. Pushing the $11,000 fine, refusing to allow you to leave the airport, calling the cops to harass you is nothing short of Gestapo and a government out of control: "but far more importantly)--would not be permitted to leave the airport." The TSA also included in it's announcement for the first time the new fine of $11,000 and possible arrest for anyone who refused." http://townhall.com/columnists/KevinMcCullough/2010/11/21/obamas_tsa_decliners_fined_$11,000/page/fu This has to stop! We cannot allow this to happen!

No kidding! Law abiding Americans are groped and leered at in airports and our borders remain wide open. Send the TSA to the Mexican border and let them feel up the people trying to cross illegally.

Right on ! ! Well said. Everyone MUST contact their congress critter and DEMAND that this nonsense be stopped immediately. The head of the company that sells these new scanners just happened to be on that Asian road trip with Obambi and the first wookie. Imagine that. This is all a scam, to upset the sheeple - and that CBS poll that stated 81% of the people like this! patewy. (I’m trying to be a lady here, folks) Who did they ask? Only people who never fly? PROFILE... PROFILE... my 92 year old mother was not the problem, however when I travelled with her they ALWAYS wanded her, made her get out of her wheel chair, stand up and humiliated her. She was 95 pounds wringing wet! Disgusted. And that was 5 years ago.

Candor7 you are right. This must stop immediately. Call your rep and complain politely, but VERY firmly.
