Now we know what the “S” in TSA stands for. All the (ahem) “stuff” they can’t handle.
You’ve heard about the 95-year-old, wheelchair-bound leukemia patient who had her adult diaper searched by the TSA. She required additional screening because her diaper had — according to media reports — something “wet” in it.
You’ll be stunned to learn it wasn’t nitroglycerin.
According to her daughter, the woman was flying from Florida to Michigan to move into an assisted living facility. “It’s something I couldn’t imagine happening on American soil,” Jean Weber told the Panama City News-Herald. “Here is my mother, 95 years old, 105 pounds, barely able to stand, and then this.”
As bad as that sounds, the TSA’s response was worse: They would do it again.
“We have reviewed the circumstances involving this screening and determined that our officers acted professionally and according to proper procedure.”
The proper procedure for what — making TSA employees look like buffoons? Because it certainly didn’t make anyone more secure. Neither did taking a plastic toy from a mentally-handicapped man flying to Disney; or searching the diaper of an 18-month-old; or invading the nether regions of a crying 6-year-old girl.
All these things have happened in recent months, and every time Americans think “This is as bad as the TSA can get.”
Then it gets worse.
And for what? For people serious about security, the entire TSA is a joke. “The whole system is designed to catch stupid terrorists,” says security expert Bruce Schneier. Trying to keep weapons or explosives off planes by embarrassing grannies or terrorizing toddlers is a waste of time, and the TSA knows it.
Former TSA head Kip Hawley admitted in 2008 that “all they [terrorists] have to do is...

Terrorizing Senior Americans.
the most important tool airport screeners have to use is profiling, and it is rejected by our leaders. - shame, shame
Yes the TSA is a POS Nazi goon squad, BUT there is ONE reason, and ONLY one reason they exist.....MUSLIMS. Put the real blame where it lies! MUSLIMS. Get rid of MUSLIMS and we can start living again. Every time some moron tells you to take off your shoes, your belt, empty your pockets, carry less than 3 ounces of shampoo, to shut your mouth in line, take off your clothes, bend over, get a freakin’ X-ray of your body,.........BLAME A MUSLIM!
From the Lamestream media article come this gem of duplicity and misdirection of reader attention: “The reason for the current dog and pony show is to make passengers feel safe so we’ll keep flying.”
That is just one more excuse to disguise TSA being part of conditioning Americans to government abuse and raw authority.
Defund the TSA - McDonalds needs those employees. And the SEIU Ditch Diggers Union also needs them.
And, their guns would then be auctioned off.

Gov't aims to get us used to the idea that they can intrusively search American citizens with impunity whenever they damn well please in the name of "fighting terrorism."

Picture this, a retired US Naval Officer flying his youngsters home from Denver Airport. The children believe Daddy is some kind of American hero. Until the TSA agents pull Daddy out of line and treat him like a common criminal. The confused children tried to comfort his tears of rage. Tears for all our lost and nearly forgotten way of life and living in the home of the free.
You win the "Undeniable Truth of the Day" award.
A planned economy or society can only be accomplished under totalitarian rule with complete submission of the masses by the asses..er, leaders.
They SHOULD exist to weed out Muslims. The TSA actually exists to get us used to the idea of being slaves to the state.
Something else the current regime wants to take away is people’s dignity in addition to micromanaging their lives !
The TSA is another gummit Boondoggle to employ some people who should be unemployed. Time to get our rights back.
Pray for America
All this BS and air travel isn’t any safer!! terrorist can still get on the planes just not with more than 3oz of their favorite shampoo. Flippin stupidity !!!!
I remember when it was fun to fly...
I'm all for defunding the TSA, but let's think about this for as minute. Do you really want people like this handling your food?
Yeah. Remember when you were treated like a valued customer? When your family could meet you, or say farewell at the gate?
This is all 100% pure bullsh*t! Everyone knows it.
Not a single Muslim would breath American air if the Republicrat/Dumbocan Party and their Globalist Bankster bosses didn't want them to. After 9/11 Bush and the GOP controlled CONgress should have shut the borders and halted all legal immigration from Muslim countries. Instead they keep the flood gates wide open. The TSA and the entire Homeland Security apparatus was designed to control one thing - once middle-class, gun-owning Americans furious that their country has been turned into a tyrannical Third World pit. The whole Muslim boogeyman threat is a hyped up Hollywoood-style psyop to trick rubus Americanus into giving up his wealth and his liberty (as well as his neighbor's) without a fight.
It is because of just the issue your question raises, that I do NOT eat at fast food emporia.
