Obama: TSA's Nude Screening a Necessary Inconvenience
New York Magazine ^ | November 21, 2010

Posted on 11/21/2010 6:28:15 PM PST by bd476


"At this point, the Transportation Security Administration, in consultation with our counter-terrorism experts, have indicated to me that the procedures that they've been putting in place are the only ones right now that they consider to be effective against the kind of threat that we saw in the Christmas Day bombing.

I understand people's frustrations ... and have asked TSA for assurances that what we're doing is the only way to assure the American people's safety ... One of the most frustrating aspects of this fight against terrorism is that it has created huge inconveniences.

Every week I meet with my counter-terrorism team and I'm constantly asking them whether what we're doing is absolutely necessary."


- President Obama stands by the TSA's increasingly-controversial security measures


that Boing Boing described as the "You choose: star in a porno shoot or let me squeeze your genitals policy," in which passengers are either scanned and seen nude, or they're groped and made to feel awkward. Obama admitted, however, that since he doesn't fly commercial, he's actually never experienced this inconvenience firsthand.

Was that wall of links really necessary?

Yes relatively new noob. REAL Freepers arm themselves with as much FACT as possible. If you want just simple emotion without fact you'll need a lefty a site.

If you requested the worst threat to our country they would have handed O’bummer a mirror.

I wish the spaceships would come down and make the TSA Gestapo agents disappear. One at a time or all at once.

I agree but that is not going to happen anytime soon. Instead of exposing ourselves to radiation from publicly accessed body scans; instead of allowing some



government clerk to fondle our children

... it looks like the only sane response is to not fly, period.

No worries though for those wealthy enough to own their own private jets.

Those Obama elites will certainly enjoy sharing airspace with all the "Government Security" sanctioned, processed and cleared burkha wearing Muslims.

No TSA Worries for the Elite

Taxpayer Funded Personal Jets

Elite Obama Donors Receive Early Gifts and Privileges from Obama While Under Senate Investigation and After Accepting Millions in Taxpayer Paid Bailout




So many of the Elite Obama Donors arrived at Dulles International Airport in their personal private jets that an active runway at Dulles International Airport had to be shut down and then converted into a make-do parking lot.



Surprisingly no PETA, Global Warming, nor Code Pink protesters are seen as the Elite Obama Donors arrive in chauffeur driven stretch limousines dressed in their finest furs.



Their gilded Obama Invitations apparently lost in the mail result in PETA, Global Warming and Code Pink Protesters being no-shows as the fur-laden Elite Obama Donors arrive in their chauffeur driven stretch limousines.



Elite Obama Donor Louis Susman, Vice President of Citibank who received $45 million bailout money paid by taxpayers is shown arriving at the Private Obama Dinner for Elite Obama Donors Only.

Fine, so let's see the POTUS, the head of the TSA, and every single member of Congress who supports these procedures, along with their spouses and children, publicly submit to these procedures on national TV once every week, as an example to the rest of us.

This doesn’t surprise me at all, but, it sure sickens me. Wonder how many perv’s are working for the TSA? I’ve hear people say, well they are just doing what they are told to do. Yea, sounds familiar. Isn’t that what the Nazi soldiers said too? I’m not saying what TSA is doing is as bad as what the Nazi’s did, but, the reasons are the same. Wrong is wrong and this is way sicko wrong.

I would suggest that we take pictures of these people, and place them on every sex-offender website. I suggest that, wherever those agents go, shopkeepers who hang the sign, ‘We refuse the right to serve anyone.’, exercise that right, and refuse their money, and refuse them merchandise. it would be a hard holiday season, if they cannot purchase food, cups of coffee, gifts for the kids - because their money is no good.

Better yet, we need some good leak sources at airports in the D.C. area who can tell us when and which Congressman or Congressmen says "for me, please just waive the scanning and the patdown, because I am Congressman ("so and so")". I would love to have that leaked, with a video camera would be even better, but just the Congressman's name and location/time of the request.

You KNOW this is going on.

I'm not sure if you have this one or not. It is an audio of TSA interrogating a passenger. Early on, a TSA agent uses the f-word while threatening the passenger.
