Maybe Willie Green will get his wish and we’ll all sit in railcars to get some milk.

The last time a government put large numbers of people in railcars, it wasn't to go get milk.

maybe what we need is a day when everyone who goes through the line says, ‘Thanks for what you do.’ ”

Kinda like in military training camp, where you say "Thank You Sir! May I Have Another??!!"

“Molester, pervert, disgusting, an embarrassment, creep. These are all words I have heard today at work describing me. ...These comments are painful and demoralizing,” one unnamed TSO posted on Frischling’s website.

Painful and demoralizing? Awww...poor babies!

It looks as if they're whining perverts, and crybaby molesters.

Sounds like that to me!
No way will I allow my grandchildren to be groped. Period. We will walk away and get a refund before I will allow that to happen.

Shameful behavior. What ticks me off is that the threats are coming from OUTSIDE THIS COUNTRY on planes coming INTO this country, so why do we have to undergo such humiliation on domestic flights?

Political correct a$$ho!e$ haven’t the gonads to figure out how to profile, since they are so worried about their image.
Good thing I’m not in charge of them...they’d all be looking for work in a Third World Country...and be profiled here.

I would actually welcome “known flyer” databases and biometric identification... if it were all done above board. The part I have a problem with is when these companies are major campaign contributers and then use that influence for political favors.

they aren’t fooling anybody-— they LIKE the little power they have over us. Probably the only meaning they have in their lives. Plus they likely dream of someday having a gun. THEN they’ll show us

The German railroad employees sending trains to Dachau and the guards in the Communist gulags were doing what they were told. They didn’t create the policies.

I don’t feel sorry for them, and I don’t feel sorry for the TSA thugs. They know that sexual assault is wrong, and they are doing it because they are greedy cowards.

My son is traveling and planning to opt out to protest this nonsense.

I asked if he was going to okay with that and he said the best thing he could do for his country is make some Nazi wannbes at the airport understand just how inadequately endowed they are. LOL

Right. The STATES should be arresting the federal TSA thugs and putting them on trial. The TSA "procedures" should be nullified by patriot-controlled state governments.

Yes I wonder too. My dad always said either things happen by accident... or they were planned that way.

I'm a little confuse on this. I thought Dashle federalized them and now Obummer wants to unionize them.

I don't think they're unionized yet, did I miss something?

The government thinks we are dumb as cattle and can’t reason, or weigh costs and benefits rationally. We must be prodded along by fear. Frequent flyer databases, biometrics, etc along with non-invasive patdowns for weapons, common sense non-politically correct passenger profiling, and answer a few questions from a trained security professional would go a long way. Sure, there are finite risks, but no system is foolproof, none.
