Security chief has no regrets about intrusive screenings.
You should have seen the smile on Transportation Security Administration chief John Pistole’s face at the Global Business Travel Association’s conference ...
You know the drill: Either step into the machine that takes your naked picture and zaps you with unneeded doses of radiation, or have a friendly TSA officer touch your “junk.”
...
Pistole, in case you’ve wondered, is proud of his name, which is pronounced just like the gun. And if you were to say his name at a TSA checkpoint, you could be charged with a felony.
“As an FBI agent, I had a lot of fun for all those years calling people on the phone and saying “Hi, this is John Pistole with the FBI,” he bragged.
Pistole once used it on a wise guy in New York City. “He didn’t miss a beat. He said, ‘Yeah, and I’m Mr. Lion at the Zoo, so what do you want to make of it?’” ...
If only the rest of America were lion-hearted enough to stand up to this man.
Remember the protests when the TSA started groping last November? Remember “National Opt-Out Day,” encouraging travelers to just say no to the TSA’s scary, new machines? Or how about earlier this year when Texas tried to pass a law that would make it a crime for federal agents to touch anyone’s privates without probable cause.
All of this ire seems to have dissipated. Even the Texas bill died when the Feds threatened to shut down aviation in the Lone Star State ...
Now, procedures previously reserved for suspected criminals can now be used on anyone with a plane ticket. The TSA has touched my junk. The TSA touch my wife’s junk. And somehow this is normal.

He is obviously a Sex Pistole.
Lord Jesus Christ says:
[5:40] And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well.
That was civil disobedience tactics that teached underdog how to fight back.
It can be used today. The only way to get the TSA perv out of business is to strip naked in front of them and say "DON'T TOUCH MY JUNK"
It is less humiliating to undress by yourself than have a perv touch you in front of other people.
Nothing about this foul regime is normal!
interesting concept; never heard this term, though.
If enough people stood on principle and refused to fly until this crap stopped, it would have stopped already.
Tells you all you need to know about America. (It’s over.) As if you didn’t know from abortion, welfare, public ed, gaystapo politics, anti-Christianity, media-induced emotional stampedes, euthanasia and obamacare. To name but a few.
Whoever submits to this procedure, out of convenience or plain cowardice, shame on them. They are surrendering America, one citizen at a time.
If you want to be treated like a terrorist, FLY. Americans should drive or but not fly.
I won’t fly until it stops. It has derailed the regular flow of face to face meetings that would have happened if the perverts were not doing molesting and threatening people.
But, it turns out, we have done just fine without the business travel and saved a lot of money to boot. I don’t see the people I deal with breaking their necks to fly around either.
Another thing I have noticed about institutional travel is that people who do travel aren’t bringing their spouses and/or kids for business trips to vacation like they used to do. It’s drudgery all the way. I would not put a child of mine through the terror of dealing with these power hungry, abusive goons.
They have zapped the joy from an aspect of American life by making our air travel into a prison experience. No more joyful people excited about flying and traveling. It’s the Soviet way!
TSA personnel need to be shunned within our society. And I mean it, I don’t care if they are family or not. They need to know that they are siding with evil and they are no longer our friends, family, neighbors... Follow their orders, but look at them to let them know they are scum in our eyes. I won’t buy into a Nuremberg defense of just following orders.
