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).
“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.
And, apparently, the TSA decided he needed lots and lots of extra scrutiny. (We both went through the full body scanners, by the way.) THEN my wonderful DH got a rather intimate pat-search on top of the full-body scan ... and then they decided to x-ray his boots (which were off) two EXTRA times (for a total of three x-rays.)
While he was going through this, the TSA people waved at least 3-4 adult males (casually dressed young men, civilians) through ... they went through the standard metal detector, but not the full body scan or the intimate pat down.
Hmmm... This took 33 minutes. I can only imagine what it will be like closer to Thanksgiving!
Unrelated YAY for American Airlines... they "comped" my $50 in baggage fees since he was on orders, and they upgraded us both to first class (which was wonderful but unexpected!)
