This guy really sounds like he has some serious anger problems.

I have flown trans-Atlantic from Ireland to North America twice this year.
Flying solo, I automatically assumed, made me a questionable target for security. And I was right.
First time out I had my baggage checked.

Second time I was body searched (this time in Heathrow..because I couldn't fly direct out of Dublin...so as an Irish citizen, I almost always expect to be checked in London).
I had a small black woman feel my breats, butt, wazooo up looking for something or other. I just stood there and asked her polietly if she could hurry up because I had a connection to make. *L*

Maybe if I start taking some herbs and camomile tea etc., I may become more concerned about evasiveness on my person, and be affronted.

Personally, I don't mind them doing that kinda stuff to me, because the plane I'm travelling on won't be blown up by suicide (possibly pregnant and still suicidal) bombers.

IF that was true, it might be worth it, but it isn't. The security in place is a JOKE. It's not going to stop anybody with a plan, support to put the plan into action, and the cool head and cold heart necessary to make it work.

The only way for us to be safe again is to kill the people who would do this. It's going to take a world war. Somebody squeezing some breasts on pregnant women in Oregon is NOT contributing one bit to national security. That our government is LYING to us about this, on the big picture and the small...is TERRIFYING to me.

Whether this guy is lying or not is not really important. It's that our government has taken away our rights for the sake of a sham like this and people are DEFENDING it that matters.
