TSA workers face verbal abuse from travelers

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.

[Almondjoy]

Funny. I bet you are the same person that thinks that soliders should be absolved from what the “policies” are.

[goat granny]

Not just 6 million jews but 20 million total...if it wasn’t for the jews continueally going after the killers, we would have forgotten about it already...

[nina0113]

I don’t blame the employees, because they are just doing what they are told to do.

That didn't work out so well at Nuremberg.

I never thought I'd see American citizens who would go along with this, but I guess concentration camp guards are everywhere.

[Hoodat]

Another lib propaganda. How about the feelings of the passengers who just got molested, or even the 10 year old kid who took his shirt off yesterday at Drudge?

The incident that infuriates me the most is the guy in San Diego who literally stripped down to his underwear in order to avoid the hand-on-body-parts search. Instead of inspecting the pile of clothes for contraband, the TSA agents implored him to put his clothes back on so that they could pat him down properly. Incompetence is one thing, but illogic is maddening.

[Hoodat]

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.

They could also argue that it was not in their job description when they were hired, and that there has been no change in US law that would precipitate this change in TSA policy.

[Hoodat]

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

Just as every cop is a criminal, and all the sinners saints
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer 'cause I'm in need of some restraint.

So if you meet me, have some courtesy, some sympathy and some taste.
Use all your well-learned politesse, or I'll lay your soul to waste.

Oh, that poor, downtrodden officer on the right - he's getting such angry, belligerent verbal abuse from that Jew on the left. Doesn't the Jew know that the officer is just implementing the policies, and he's not the one responsible for developing them?

[TheRightGuy]

eff ‘em

[EBH]

This could be used as teachable moments for those front line TSA folks. Their Union Boss isn’t going to protect them. There was a time when a union would stand up and go on strike over “rights.” Hello dear TSA person...people are angry because you, YOU, are violating American’s Rights. And no order from any government agency that violates an American’s Rights is legal. Tell you union boss you are going on strike on Opt Out Day.

thanks for this photo - it's perfect. We need to all save this for use over and over again. there's one I had, but lost, of people being hustled into cattle cars too.

Take note that notices are now at the airports warning people (subjects!) NOT TO complain or even SPEAK while going through molestation - or be subject to 'criminal or civic charges'

WE stop this now - or these machines and molesters will spread into every aspect of our lives. (Chertof and Soros are making billions off these machines.)

And if we have a MAJOR 'terrorist' attack soon that requires even more subjugation - maybe even Martial Law (that would shut down congress for 6 months - keeping the NEW congress from being seated - DO NOT accept that it is a terrorist attack, pe se, but suspicion it to be an attack by 'enemies within" with an agenda.

God help us.

And yet they claim that because so few people complain, that there must not be a problem.

Cnet: Backlash grows over TSA's 'naked strip searches'

"We have received minimal complaints," a TSA spokeswoman told CNET yesterday. She said that the agency, part of DHS, keeps track of air traveler complaints and has not seen a significant rise.

We ALL need to send this to DRUDGE - maybe THIS will concern the ‘cattle’ now willingly submitting -

So now they're throwing out the 1st amendment with the 4th amendment?

I know they have signs about not joking at checkpoints, but speaking poorly about TSA workers is now a federal offense too?

Done. Also sent to several other MSM.

"or “thanks a lot for sticking your hand up my ass and grabbing my penis for explosives”."

"You can take your thumb out of my a$$ any time now, Carmine."

[Jagermonster]

Regarding flying as a right, see 49 U.S.C. § 40103 : US Code - Section 40103. In pertinent part, it states "(2) A citizen of the United States has a public right of transit through the navigable airspace."

Your two sided card idea isn't half bad. Hand them out at airports.

Poor little brown shirts....

TSA workers face verbal abuse from travelers

Then quit, you fat, slimy, scumbag puke-f***ing communist twinkle-toes walrus-looking piece of amphibian s***! Get the f*** off of my airport! ...Get the f*** off of my airport! ... ...GET THE F*** OFF OF MY AIRPORT! ...

[Lazamataz]

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.

NO one is THIS tone deaf. They are doing this for some reason. Obama is aware of the backlash, that's why he and Napolitano have given press comments about it. Only reasons I can think of him doing this on purpose are:

• Hoping for violence so he can initiate martial law.
• Conditioning people to be treated like cattle -- breaking their spirit, if you will.
• Distraction for something much more important.
• Payback to America for shutting him down.
