So what happens if you accuse the guy of doing something not related to a search but more of a sexual nature, like grabbing your jewels?
I suppose your job demands it, Mr. Evers, but to me there’s no way that I would submit myself to such indignities for the privilege of flying through the air in an aluminum tube.
Good read. . .and interesting response and ‘offer’ from TSA contact. Incredible, really; whatEVER her intentions.
I think that young people are having a hard time finding jobs so what if we hire hooters girls to frisk the guys and sexy muscular guys to inspect the ladies. Security is up, everyone will submit and the airlines will boost travel. Everyone smiles and I think my husband would even agree to travel more.
Mike is certainly not alone with this TSA crap! Here is an interesting link about a group of New Jersey Legislators who stepped forward....and with the ACLU too! Surprise, surprise!

Landed in Atlanta safe and sound. I really appreciate all the fine posts on this thread. Many good suggestions and links to other atrocities. We will see this new procedure scrapped within two weeks if we keep the pressure.
Now for some dinner and a margarita. Tomorrow will be time enough to deal with this controversy.

Then, when they begin their SS procedures (you vill show us your papers, ja?), let out a blood curdling scream "Ooooooouuuuuch!!!", repeat it several times, make a scene if you have to. Dont say anything else. Just "ouch!!".
There is not a court in the land that could objectively prove you were NOT subjectively, physically hurt by the procedure, and you could embarrass these TSA on the spot, and nothing you do would be illegal to my knowledge, but simply an act of civil disobedience that would make everyone uncomfortable. They could threaten to arrest you, but on what ground? That you hurt upon being touched?
Meanwhile, burkaed Muslims are going to get a partial pass. This is almost as ludicrous as out of state Americans being charged extra tuition in some states, where as illegal aliens on the same soil get the same rates as residents for that state. ILLEGAL ALIENS!!???!!! When are we going to wake up and realize that the lifelife of this country, the average American, is being made a Second Class Citizen overnight due to Intrusive Goverment and Political Correctness.
I will tell you this. In the history of mankind, if man does not stand up against Government-Run-Amok, they, the Overlords, will get drunk on power and seize even more personal liberties from the individual. It is just the reality of human nature and power.
Either we submit to this and they take more and more from us (a year or two from now under Big Sis and Obongo, they will be doing full an*l and vag*nal cavity exploration on a regular basis, mark my words), or we put our feet down as a group now and put a stop to it, otherwise we also make them pay politicallly at the polls and make it an election issue for 2012, and also force our Congresscritters to take public positions even before the new sesssion (if they are being held over into the new Congress).
That is a hoot but I think his celebrity is what let it be an amusing story and not one about a night in the slammer.
THREATEN THE TSA supervisor. Two words. JURY TRIAL ....arrest me please......We are the Jury...............Revolt peacefully
If this was a GWBush initiative, the Dems would have the fondled women and children testifying in Congressional hearings on live TV. All of the daytime talk shows would be booking the victims for interviews.
And they would demand that Bush submit to the XRAY and have the image displayed on live TV.
In the fwiw department, the First lady and I are doing well. We have been having much fun since election night tweaking liberals/socialists/progressives/democRATs. Sometime the too much fun alarm goes off.

Yeah, but that was back in 2002!
“So what happens if you accuse the guy of doing something not related to a search but more of a sexual nature, like grabbing your jewels?”
I sure don’t know but I’m just a lady who doesn’t fly. My sweetheart says that kind of grabbing would call for a different reaction.
My sweetie’s nickname is 357.
We never learn anything from Demrats. And not sure what a Dem would do; but I am still stuck on the fact that Goverment Leaders and Congress members are exempt. . .am thinking our new Repubs in Congress have an opportunity here - a promise as well as a threat.
Are not these exemptions a form of 'reverse profiling'?
You must be kidding!
You let them feel all up your bare genitals and butt crack? After already being x-rayed? Because they threatened to “arrest” you?!!
You should have said “F YOU!, ARREST ME!!”
Every traveller should do the same, each time they are propositioned by these creeps. Things would change in a huge hurry.
You can definately win lawsuit money for false arrest by the Sherriffs. You cannot successfully sue the TSA for sexual assault.
“Meanwhile, burkaed Muslims are going to get a partial pass.”
No, they’ll get a full pass because they won’t be pulled out for special screening in the first place. I’m pretty sure none of the screeners want CAIR sic’d on them personally. Gov’t employees go after the easy targets that will offer the least resistance so it appears they are doing their job.
I figured you were the type to keep getting back in line to be searched again? Grin...
Of course, you are correct on that.
FWIW, leaving boarding area and re entering is one thing they look for.
I alway ask if their is food in the boarding area before I enter if its in a airport I am not familar with.
