No country has better airport security than Israel — and no country needs it more, since Israel is the most hated target of Islamic extremist terrorists. Yet, somehow, Israeli airport security people don't have to strip passengers naked electronically or have strangers feeling their private parts.
Does anyone seriously believe that we have better airport security than Israel? Is our security record better than theirs?
"Security" may be the excuse being offered for the outrageous things being done to American air travelers, but the heavy-handed arrogance and contempt for ordinary people that is the hallmark of this administration in other areas is all too painfully apparent in these new and invasive airport procedures.
Can you remember a time when a cabinet member in a free America boasted of having his "foot on the neck" of some business or when the president of the United States threatened on television to put his foot on another part of some citizens' anatomy?
Yet this and more has happened in the current administration, which is not yet two years old. One cabinet member warned that there would be "zero tolerance" for "misinformation" when an insurance company said the obvious, that the mandates of ObamaCare would raise costs and therefore premiums. Zero tolerance for exercising the First Amendment right of free speech?

America — a great idea, didn’t last.
I like analogys. I have been trying to peg Obama. The best I can come up with is the German Battleship Bismark. Get the Bismark!
Be careful with that! I had some liberal follow me all the way home from Sacramento one night and really had to play “dodg’em” all the way home because I had a sign in my back window that said:”I’m fighting poverty... I WORK!!!” (I bought it at a truckstop in OK on my 1988 trip through there)

IMO this is calculated retaliation for Nov. 2. And the more we resist, the more they will up the ante. The head of the TSA has publicly made subtle threats about more retaliation if there is a mass opt out on the 24th.
I have to fly to FL in late January. I will not get x-rayed. And I will not get groped in private, i.e. without witnesses. They want to grab my Johnson, they are going to have to do it in front of everyone.
I will wear my Marine Corps Tee shirt, want to bet that will get me singled out for harassment?
Works for me. :)
35 out right now, but 3,000 degrees underground!
Well you live in Kalifornia, so it doesn’t surprise me. I live in a red state
