The video, in which software engineer John Tyner refuses an X-ray scan at the San Diego, California, airport, has sparked a debate over screening procedures.

Nope, I really don’t see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?
So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agentsof the President’s security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave
Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone because of profiling.
I don’t like driving 20 hours but I do it when I go to Orlando. Its either that or pay extra to have my family and I anal-probed at the airports. Not a hard decision for me to make. I drive!
Unfair to Don Knotts, who enlisted in the Army and served his country.
Knotts enlisted in the United States Army after graduating from Morgantown High School and spent most of his service entertaining troops.
Sorry.
I couldn’t do the “nip it”! joke without him.
Really good test and I passed with flying colors. Sort of really shows it in black and white, huh? Just a thought.
You nailed it. Homeland security says Screening is the priority. These stupid screens wouldn’t catch a terrorist with a 3 digit iq anyway.
Children, the elderly, nuns, people with medical devices [that trigger the metal detectors]... these are the people least able to fight back. Plus, the average peaceful law-abiding citizens aren’t aggressive by definition, so they aren’t exactly prepped for warfare either.
The enemy isn’t on the front lines facing a military, he’s sneaking up from behind in order to attack and rapescan the defenseless. This is the way of Amalek. TSA is nothing but a company of Amalekites. Perhaps “Legion” of Amalekites is a better term, for they are many.
I know you weren’t really downing him personally, but just wanted to remind people of his service.
I think even Barney Fife would think the current TSA is wrong...
Well, I did reference Barney Fife, the character, not Don Knotts, the man
Except for the Muslims...
The Bill of Rights on a Metal Card, Security Edition to hand to TSA agents. It has the 4th Amendment highlighted in red.

IBTZ! Troll boy is back!
Your coming up with the term ‘Rapescan’ says it all.
They are hollowing out the timbers of our republic just like termites.
