TSA and the DHS. Two of the biggest, freedom stealing organizations ever to hit this country. All brought to you by George W. Bush, Compassionate Conservative.
I am ashamed I ever voted for him.

Give government burocrats a chance and they always turn into fascists. Why we should not give government power over us.
Give them power, they want more. Always.
So, like bringing your baby through TSA with the dirty diaper, I guess we now need to start wearing dirty underwear?
“In addition to that, all citizens will be required to change their underwear every half-hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check.”
I’d have kicked the crap out of that person on the spot, consequences be damned.

Ok, but they don’t call me Skids for nothing.
THIS is why I don’t fly.I can drive anywhere in the continental US and I just write off the rest of the world.
:: She grabbed my throat hard, causing me to choke and cough. She yelled at me for coughing ::
Under the 4th Amendment, I would have ceremoniously WALKED this agent into the nearest wall-structure and claimed physical assault.
Don’t be sheep.
At some point, hopefully the court will decide whether it is legit for TSA to molest people, under the excuse of a intrusive search, where they do not have specific, individual probable cause.
And the TSA is a large reason I only fly when I have to. I used to fly over 50K miles a year. Now I look to travel less. I drive to many cities that I can get to in less than 6 hours. And I use calls instead of travel whenever I can. Airlines and airports have become such a hassle. Its just not worth it. Besides the fact that its profoundly uncomfortable.
They would undoubtedly lock me up, but I’ll be DAMNED if some TSA goon would grab me or mine like that and I didn’t beat him/her until the others pulled me off of him/her.
What wasn’t addressed in the reply was the allegation that the TSA agent grabbed the passenger by the throat. This may have been hyperbole, but the article should have covered the followup. That type of behavior is not acceptable other than in a takedown situation and any agent who did that with a cooperating, passive passenger should be removed.
The TSA is why I gave up flying.
I will not submit.
TSA is part of Homeland Security and they work for Trump. Not suggesting this become one of the top priorities (which it is not), but hopefully the day will come when TSA is privatized with rigorous standards but no government employees or unions.
Another reason to drive.
Have they ever grabbed the underwear of a woman wearing a burka?
Inquiring minds want to know
