Americans have demonstrated that when ordered to give up their liberty for "security" - they drop their pants and do as they are told.
Mark my words: within a couple of years you will not be able to bring your son or daughter to a professional baseball game or high school track meet without "consenting" to a search on the property of your person.
TSA and the anti-freedom crowd is loving this. “Your paypahs please!” We wouldn’t be having these damn problems if we had some kind of active immigration control in this country.
I guess I’ll save a lot of money!
Random.
So, little girls, old ladies and disabled vets?
I don’t think it will take even that long. When we enter Jacksonville Stadium to see the jags, they already have pat down for the past two years.
Well, I have not flown since 9/11 and am considering giving up on pro sports too. If enough people do that, things will change. If they submit to this nonscence, it will continue to get worse.
Yes. We will secure everything except the border.
And no more anti-Obama rallies allowed. Ever. :)
The terrorists have won.
And now we have the reason for what happened yesterday.
Meanwhile border is still wide open and drug cartels travel the country with impunity.
Even worse, Marco Rubio and his MS-8 (Gang of 8) are giving the foreign terrorists Amnesty....we are so screwed by BOTH mainstream parties. We need strong border security....AND illegal alien/terrorist removal
NFL stadiums and games are already as bad as TSA at airports...hopefully the college on campus venues do not go full Nazi
People used to behave as if G_d was Watching...
Now we have Guberment watching playing G_d....
Why get groped or bombed when you can watch sports on tv? The police state will kill large gatherings.
I’m just a little curious...
Aren’t there certain times of day when the streets of mid-town Manhattan are more crowded than the marathon crowds? Couldn’t a bomber just target these ‘non-event’ crowds that happen every day?
Or wait for a blockbuster movie to come out, complete with its large outdoor lines.
Or, of course, bomb the inside of a theater, crowded elevator, crowded nightclub, outdoor concert, or any number of less ‘official’ venues?
Would unconstitutional searches at only some events really prevent terrorism?
translation: they want to newtown everywhere into a soft target zone.
I've been going to Cleveland Browns games since 9-11 and been thoroughly searched almost every time. (Wand, pat down and coat pockets and any bags I am carrying) and I am not singled out. Everyone else in line is too. Women pat down women Men Pat down men. If you got something suspicious you are pulled from the line and get a real going over by severe looking people who have no sense of humor whatsoever.
What are we going to do next? Body cavity searches?
This is the crisis they have been waiting for.
They will just HAVE to have Homeland security checking out gun shows.
These people are evil. In th emidst of the WORST human misery, they are still trying to figure a way to advance a leftist political agenda.
Guess I'll have to expand my boycott to new venues.
