TSA chief: Body scan boycott would be mistake

I’m not wearing underwear and only loose fitting tennis sweats with zippers and pockets for my flights. A couple of bowls of chili the night before and maybe some quevos rancheros for breakfast the day of my flight should make for a real nice pat down experience. I’ll just let them go at it and light them up with a gassy reply.
Maybe a shart may help grease the skids for the TSA.

So this joker claims that "a relatively small proportion" of fliers have been subjected to government intrusions of a personal kind and that makes it alright? I don't think so.

The real translation:!

This groping has NOTHING to do with real security!!

It has EVERYTHING to do with public intimidation and training of the American people of submission to Soetoro's coming Marxist's take-over of the United States of America!!!

Now here's the question if the other, about 50%, of the U.S.'s real patriotic section are willing to submit themselves, or is revolting brewing???

I’ve read that the plan is to (eventually) have these scanners in all airports and in sufficient quantities to allow for the scanning of all passengers-rather like everyone going into some buildings goes through metal detectors, or how you can’t leave a library without going through the machine that detects whether you have a book that wasn’t properly checked out.

Oh you are bad! And my new hero. :-D

[DJ MacWoW]

Well that might have been their plan until the sheep objected. And word is that the machines are not safe for health reasons. The TSA has a fight on their hands.

Somebody replied: “If it was NOT a government employee, that kind of groping would land you in prison”!!!

[so_real]

Over target ... bay doors open. I've "opt"ed not to travel this holiday. I hope those who "opt" to travel, also "opt" to be groped rather than photographed naked. Massive revolt is the best way to have TSA removed of their pseudo authority.

New concept in America, You are guility until the government tells you you are innocnt.

Sound like some third world government concept.

"a relatively small proportion"

A relatively small proportion of the population is raped or murdered. I guess that means it should not be a law enforcement concern.

"Think of every man in the line, having a little Jingle Bell tied to his winkie."

We could call them, "liberty bells"

My FRiends, I do believe you have something here! Reminds me of the "Simon Jester" civil disobedience acts in Robert Heinlein's The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress.

Citizenship

[1]
Any American being fondled or deliberately touched in proximity to their sexual organs, anus, or breasts by someone not their spouse or medical provider in the proper process of some medical procedure is duty bound to punch out the fondler no matter what authority that fondler may claim.

[2]
Good Americans must insist on remaining with their spouse and minor children during the course of any travel screening procedure, and may and should resist by all means necessary any attempts to separate the family, no matter what authority is claimed.

[3]
Travel is YOUR RIGHT. Travel by common carrier is a right that great Americans such as Rosa Park fought for. Assert your rights to travel without forced intolerably indecent searches and intrusive naked-scanners.

Remember the sacrifices of those before us for Liberty. Be part of the Spirit of 1776!
Resist Tyranny!

[MasterGunner01]

That the TSA Director Pistole is backtracking smells like FEAR to me. More pressure is required!

The TSA cannot be reformed; the TSA monster must be destroyed and all of its personnel fired without exception.

[sjmjax]

While I cheer your efforts regarding the security line, I just hope I don’t get the seat next to you on the flight!

So sad the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is going to keep being interrupted by breaking news bulletins about brawls and riots at airports...

[DJ MacWoW]

LOL!!!

“BODY SCAN BOYCOTT WOULD BE A MISTAKE???’...Kinda reminds me of a cheech and chong routine ( sorry, I grew up in the ‘70’s )...goes kinda like this...

sound of dripping water, screaming, and boots echoing on a concrete floor

gestapo agent: “ They are killing the girls tonight. You can save them. Just sign the papers, old man”

old man, sobbing: “ I cannot sign the papers”

gestapo agent: “ You will sign the papers!!!”

sound of person being severly beaten...

gestapo agent: “ Now, sign the papers, old man”

old man, sobbing : “ What do the papers say?”

gestapo agent: “ They are merely a statement, saying you have not been mistreated while you were here”.

old man, sobbing : “ I cannot sign the papers”.

gestapo agent, screaming, : “ And why cannot you sign the papers?”.

old man, sobbing, : “Because you have broken both of my hands”

sound familiar?????

[DJ MacWoW]

Sounds like DC’s plan for America.
