If this keeps up, only Adam Lambert, Madonna and Lindsay Lohan will be on planes.

If we made it clear that if anyone messes with our planes, the perp’s family would be tossed into a plastic regrinder or tree chipper, we’d get much fewer people even thinking about it.

And for those without families, we’ll chose a random 50 from their town, village, or city and do truly unspeakable things to them and put it on youtube.

But we’re nice people and we wouldn’t do that. So we’ll let Janet Napolitano grope us.

The Shoe Bomber resulted in bans on fluids. The Panty Bomber resulted in more intrusive pat-downs. Where will it all go next?

Within the decade passengers will be required to drink a laxative and then crap into a clear glass toilet bowl--in public.

Well said.

I haven't flown since before 9/11 when all we had to worry about was extremely rude airline personnel, late and overbooked flights, high prices and the possibility of being imprisoned on the tarmac for hours.

Then came restrictions on how much shampoo one had and exorbitant fees for luggage.

Now you get to anticipate, after getting to the airport at an unacceptable, required early arrival time, being x-rayed or groped.

Yep, sign me up for that.

From what I read, not all gates have the x-ray machines or the “pat-downs”. So what stops a terrorist from going to one of those gates? Who is monitoring the cargo holds?

I was once of the opinion that eventually, airline travel would return to an earlier age when only the rich flew. I fear that may not be the case any longer. Could be that with the TSA and trying to make a profit, the airlines can sell a lot of planes.

Easy fix, just don’t fly.

There now, wasn’t that easy?

No more strangers feeling your or your families crotch, your wife or daughters boobs. No more taking your shoes and belts off. No more grandmas in wheelchairs getting strip searched. No more insults or snide remarks. No more outrageous baggage fees. No more being treated as an enemy of your country.

Recently, the Council on American Islamic Relations advised Muslim women to refuse body scans and pat-downs, a religious exemption that DHS is reportedly examining. How much more absurd can it be to ask Americans to equally shoulder sacrifices when members of the demographic most often associated with man-made non-crisis activities are now exempt?

This is the most absurd thing of all. And Janet Napolitano even said on record yesterday that they are looking at addressing that issue, being sensitive to their regilion, while insisting all other Americans will have to suffer either the naked body scanner, or the enhanced pat down all over their body, no exception, or you will not fly. And if you try to leave the secured area after opting out, you will be threatened with a $11,000 fine.

In the meantime, the moslems are escorted safely to their planes, bypassing the most stringent security measures, brought on by moslem killers!

Very well written, perhaps the best I’ve read.
