Government using "underwear bomber" to take away our freedom.

The government, not "terrorists," are the real threat to our freedom. Currently the trial is going on for Umar the “underwear bomber.” Homeland Security has used this case as justification for a massive crackdown at our airports. We now have dangerous body scanning x-ray machines and agents who are grabbing people’s genitals. Even US Congressmen have come forward to say agents squeezed their genitals. Law abiding American citizens are subjected to extreme harassment and public humiliation by TSA agents. The same agents who are routinely caught stealing people’s luggage. The TSA has killed tourism and made the United States an international laughing stock. Government officials in countries like Venezuela and China now point to American airports as “a real police state.” Even the man credited with founding the TSA says the program is a disaster and should be dismantled. Rep. John Mica (R. – FL), chairman of the House Transportation Committee, says he gives his own agency a D-. He says the TSA now costs over three times what it was originally supposed to cost. Mica says it has failed to do any good. He wants the agency dismantled and a return to privatized airport security.

Excellent article with lots of links. Lists all the dirt on the governments mishandling of the underwear bomber.

One of the biggest outrages of the underwear bomber case is the fact that his Nigerian father knew of his son’s plot and warned U.S. authorities.

As a result of this warning, why was the underwear bomber allowed to board the Delta Air Lines flight in Amsterdam in the first place?

And yet the borders are still wide open. Why not take advantage of a nice little crisis to further crack down.

You might find some answers to your question here. Note especially his Point 15: that's the smoking gun that proves the event was preplanned and staged.

What a crock of bull. Terrorists in scare quotes like their were no such thing? What idiocy. Sure, government threatens our freedom. But identifying government as a threat does not obviate other threats or make them less real. This is reality. We are allowed to have more than one threat. Doh.

Hmmm. I don't see anything from the "if you're not doing anything wrong" crowd. That's probably because it's 4 in the morning EST and they're all asleep.

As a courtesy to them, I'll serve as a stand-in:

"If you're not doing anything wrong," why should it bother you if TSA workers probe your bunghole? These things keep us safe.

scary stuff

‘the system works’ for me....

.....now I DRIVE.

the Govt., needs a massive enema.(read impeachment and being elected out.)

And let’s not forget who to thank for this federal behemoth aka ‘Der Department und Homeland Security’, the parent of TSA, none other than good ol’ #43, George Walker Bush.

Even driving won’t protect you anymore. TSA is making surprise raids all over the place and forcing people to submit to their sexual assaults. I am pretty sure I can’t post on the best way to handle that’s, though my personal preferences would lead to jail time.

We need to kill the patriot act.

The government, directed by poltically correct politicans who hate their American political and social enemmies, has betrayed our trust and our Treasury. It is only going to get worse.

Agreed. “Patriot” Act my ###!
