I talked to some people that travel frequently and oddly enough they didn’t have a problem with the scanners. These are normally conservative folks but they got irritated when I mentioned all the TSA crap going on and the potentially cancer causing radiation from scanners and the bacterial/virus spreading gloves they use during pat downs when groping grandmothers after that same glove was down the skirt of a traveling hooker with 5 kinds of STDs. They seemed to resent the people opting out of the scanners as jerks for slowing them down. I sort of lost respect for them not seeing the bigger picture.

Just watched an interview with Thomas Sawyer, the guy with the stoma. He and his daughter seem very understanding, forgiving...she seems to think safety is paramount and that the new measures somehow provide it.
I fear America is lost.

Some lady who used to be a TSA puke said they view EVERY passenger as a potential terrorist. Even grandma and the 3 yr old.

AND the pilot and the stewardesses.

I say it is time to scan-&-grope the Obamas when they board Air Farce One then. He has a troubled background (associations with known terrorists, radicals, and inconsistent paperwork) that would cause him to fail a White House security clearance.

EVERY passenger means EVERY passenger, including the pro-terrorist perp in the Oval office.

Of course they do. We're all suspects in the EYES of Obama and Napolitano.

50% of the people couldn’t name the President.

Last night I had a dream of looking at a satellite map, and seeing that half the US, everything from the Mississippi to the East Coast, was totally covered with white fog, as if some monster snowstorm hung over it.

It may have been a sort of mind map, in which case the fog is even deadlier than a weather phenomenon.

You mean the expansion of body scanners to subways, bus stations, etc?

Well,,,, yah. But I was referring more to stuff being pushed through the lame duck sessions.

I don’t think an unconstitutional police state action is up for a popularity vote. The press can manufacture all the polls they want and it does not change the fact that what TSA is doing is both illegal and insane.

One thing I noticed is that the Obamabots are defending the the radiation porn shots/sexual molestion policy by their Dear Reader like there is no tomorrow. For the Left, this is a politically correct power issue. Should innocent Americans force the government to stop pretending everyone is an equal risk to the Islamics, they would have to focus on the Islamics or throw in the towel of this pretend game of homeland security.

Liberals worry more about al-Qaeda members captured by the US than they do about American citizens being groped.

It’s a profound waste of time to rip out an elderly bladder cancer victim’s medical waste bag. In addition to humiliating.

I don’t think we ever did that at Abu Gharib, did we?

Total crock: "most Americans" haven't gone through process; and "most Americans" aren't the flying public.

To have an honest poll, the pollsters would need to contact those who've either been through process or at least those traveling now on airlines and subject to process, instead this is a phone poll of land line phones with an actual person on the other end!

They are just afraid of the “right wing terrorists” that their comrades at MSNBC warned them about. You know, those scary old people who go Tea Parties. You also never know when Teabagger granny is using the little grandkids as bomb carries.

Right, like I said they failed to see the bigger picture, and they may have thought of me as just a paranoid lunatic far right tea bagger... They are conservative, but they are more the old establishment type Republican.

I'm thinking bigger, like cover fire for stuff like the botched verdict in the Ghailani trial, but I'm sure they will be trying to push a lot more crap through, probably by way of EO's.

The only valid responses are from those who have been subjected to the enhanced pat down.

No other poll matters. This bull is simply designed to enhance Obamao. We’re not impressed.
