Almost arrested for refusing the TSA pat-down.

Facing certain arrest if I refused to submit to their police tactics, I agreed to the search and was led to a private cubical with frosted glass to keep things a bit more private

I may be faced with a similar decision soon. I'll take arrest and continue to resist and we'll see what happens.

Hubby found a unique way to get through the TSA screening fairly quickly. This week he is escorting his mom’s cremated remains back home to have them interred next to his dad’s. He was also taking a set of decorative spurs as a gift to a collegue. So, the young TSA female agent was giving him some grief about the spurs, took them out of the box to inspect them, questioned him about their purpose, etc. Finally got through with that, Hubby slides over the box with my MIL’s remains in it, the TSA agent says, “I’m going to have to look in that, too. What do you have in there?”

Hubby says, “My Mom.”

He says the look on her face was priceless, and she could not get the box through the screening fast enough. She practically refused to touch it. He laughed all the way to the plane.

My question is: Why did you submit to search and not allow the arrest which you would have beaten in open court. You had violated no law by refusing to submit to an unlawful search and seizure.

Revelation 13:16-18 (New International Version) 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.[a] That number is 666.

I'm just sayin'...

Pictured above is an excellent alternative to the TSA Pat Downs and Death by Xray at airports.

Outside the terminal, place hundreds of these new bomb/IED proof booths. Notice there is even a unit to accommodate people in wheel chairs.

All passengers and their luggage must enter one of these Perfect Solution booths. If they are carrying any explosives on them or in their luggage, the booths will detonate the explosives. That will eliminate any terrorist with a bomb and open up seats on the airlines during holidays and other high use days. The units can be self cleansing after each use like the French Porta Potties.

This will also eliminate any bs about profiling, as everyone with a ticket will have to enter and pass or go boom/ByeBye.

Female terrorists can remain in their Burkas until the divine moment, and Islamofascist terrorists will not have to run crying to CAIR and our crybaby AG to complain about profiling and racism. They can even bring their prayer rugs into the booths.

After a few weeks, the TSA can be dismantled, saving billions. Boy and Girl Scouts can escort the approved passengers to their terminals.

wouldn’t zinc oxide work as well?

Can you imagine the response of La Raza, ACLU et al if a Border Patrol agent said the words “Submit to Federal Authority!”

Can you imagine the response if the Bush Administration had dared try to implement this perversion?!

What happens if one has to “break wind” while one iw being felt up”

“The airlines are going to go out of business if this thing doesn’t change.”

That’s the plan.

Or, “What, no reach around?”

[Paladin2]

Good question. I don’t know.

[driftdiver]

hey man, haven’t run into you in a while.

I’ve been traveling every week for the last 8. Not once have I seen someone in muslim garb selected for search. Each time they are waved thru while grandpa gets the glove.

So you may be on to something.

Not all airports have the scanners—yet. Could be helpful when trip planning to know which do.

I thought about that --- but they could still have you submit to the intrusive full body feel up/down even if the new scanners are not in place

Believe me, I'm trying to decide whether to change my daughter's flight to an airport without the full-body scanners, but that doesn't mean that they won't do the full-feel up/down

I am feeling full-force rage at this illegal affront.

"I have a severe allergy to latex it will send me into shock, if you must do this it has to be with bare skin, you will need to wash your hands before touching me as you were wearing latex gloves, oh by the way I am having a flare up of genital warts so have at it sunshine....."

You don't even need to get Barium Sufate. Some pennies glued on pieces of children's construction paper in the appropriate pattern would suffice. Make sure the message is broken up between several pieces of paper so as to make it harder for the TSA claim you were sending them obscene messages. If your lucky the X-ray operator would fall over laughing.
