TSA workers face verbal abuse from travelers
MSNBC ^ | 11-22-10 | Harriet Baskas

Posted on 11/22/2010 4:04:57 PM PST by FS11

The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), the union that represents TSA workers, is urging the TSA to do more to protect its employees from abuse from airline passengers angry over the new security methods.

So it appears the commies in the Baraka Hussein administration have succeeded in stealth unionizing the degenerate morons that are currently engaged in feeling up REAL Americans.

Make no mistake about it, the threat posed by government worker unions make the ragheads look like the primitive homosexual amateurs that they are.

Time to start calling out the domestic enemy by name and not be afraid to do it.

Zero tolerance for marxists in US government.

Investigate and arrest members of the “Congressional Progressive Caucus”, send the red sons of bitches back underground.

Declare all States "Right to Work" states, no more forced compulsory union dues in order to keep your job.

Defund the marxist trade and government worker unions.

No one will pay union dues voluntarily.

The “Congressional Progressive Caucus” must be targeted and destroyed as well their allies in the press and academia.

No holds barred, take no prisoners, name names and make these red bastards pay dearly for the consequences of nearly one hundred years of insidious and unrelenting attacks on capitalism and judeo-christian morality.

The days of marxists operating in the open in your face and you'll like it or else are fast drawing to a close.

THESE RED SONS OF BITCHES THINK THEY CAN STEAL MORE AND MORE OF THE PRODUCTIVE CLASS MONEY THROUGH THE ELECTORAL PROCESS.

The party is over.

I blame the employees. All they’d have to do is refuse to grope people. If they’re fired any court would rule in their favor because they refused an order to violate a person’s 4th amendment rights. A person cannot be fired for refusing to break the law.

This thing is shaping up to be a first class political disaster for the Obama administration. Amazingly, they seem to be tone deaf to what is happening so far.

I think the next step in this fracas should be for employers to let it be known that TSA workers will have no hope of future employment because of prior employment as professional rapists.

By the way, it’s not always your choice to go through the porno scanner. There have been people who went through the scanner and still got groped. A SNL skit years ago was about agents making hot chicks get groped. And now it’s come true.

I’m going to start insulting them when I see them off the job. There’s nothing they can do about it.

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


Excellent. Tell him to be sure to video record his interaction with TSA.

No telling how a court will "interpret" the law these days.

Incrementalism. First page of the fascist's instruction manual. The little corporal from Austria was protecting the people from the "communists". That played out well.

Gropes to cavity searches to cattle cars to..........

We spend a hell of a lot of time focusing on air planes but there is no way we can ever be fully secure. There isn’t a thing to stop them from attacking something like the DC metro or a crowded city bus.

The courts are pretty liberal. And I’m sure the ACLU would take the case of a minority TSA worker fired for refusing to grope a 13 year old kid.

Classic. The true abusers are calling those who verbally comment on the abuse “abusers”.

Union President John Gage called on TSA to provide an educational pamphlet to each passenger describing both their rights and the details of the new procedures, which include full-body scans and enhanced pat-downs.

Whoa. Sure, I get to play centerfold for a perfect stranger or Bobo over there is going to grab my privates, but a pamphlet is going to make the whole thing better. Genius.

"...when a woman refuses the scanner then comes to me and tells me that she feels like I am molesting her; that is beyond verbal abuse.”

No it isn't, it's a natural reaction of a normal individual to somebody else sticking a hand in her pants. This woman and her union boss don't seem to have a clue about this thing except as it applies to them, and they're blaming the passengers. And the idea that her victim needs to look at it as "being kept safe" while she's being pawed at is a marvelously stupid rationalization. Want proof? Offer to switch places. Didn't think so.

Union President John Gage simply does not speak the same language as ordinary people.

He needs to be pointed to as an example of Fascism Run Amuck.

Two years ago, I flew to Little Rock, AR, to visit my son and grandson. On the way home, I was selected for the molestation AT LITTLE ROCK!!!

This is my year to go back. I will not go gracefully, as I’m 66 and still retain my “digity.” I will offer to strip in line before I will allow a grope or a scan. And I will tell those in line behind me to make sure it makes youtube!

If this is what Zero wants, then he should also be subject to it. As should his minions. (No bettah fo’ HIS a$$!)

It is against the law to video security proceedures at the airport.

I don’t blame the employees, because they are just doing what they are told to do. They didn’t think up the policy.

So were the guards at the Nazi prison camps...'just doing what they were told to do. Poor fellas.

WE stop this illegal insanity now or it WILL get worse. Count on it. Your attitude is what allows the tyrants to take over - step by step.

And this TSA step is one whale of a step. If they get away with this - they'll know they can do anything and the peoople will bow to it like sheep.

Remember the Animal House scene in the hearing with the Dean: They sneezed “eat me” “Bulls***” and such.

I’m thinking “pervert” “Auschwitz” “Nazi” would be good little messages to utter as a sneeze. Any other ideas?

Spot on.

If they get away with this - if we don't shut this down NOW - they'll come up with a ‘better way ‘ - which they probably have already to go - like that electronic chip under the skin - and people will say - oh, that’s much better,,,and line up for it.

Typical discount muscle. Dish it out to women and kids, cry for protection at the least rebuff. They will go union, for sure.

Scum. Shun them. Shun their families.
