It's completely unnecessary.
No jet will ever be taken over again...the terrorist(s) would need to kill everyone on board just to prevent themselves from being a greasy spot in the center aisle.
Every passenger now knows they are all going to die anyways...they have nothing to lose in fighting and killing them first.
It will not stop until we say no. Every person will have to choose. Is it an inconvenience? Yes. That is the problem with liberty, it requires that you defend it. This is a totalitarian regime, not democratic or republican- totalitarian and needs to end, now.
GW, thank you for another great posting.
First; make us obey without thinking. Second; continue the insidious control (without a warrant or judicial review) over our personal finance and health care records. third; sexually molest us in public. Notice that nowhere is there any evidence of a court order allowing this. This is creeping fascism, but few recognize it. I am reminded of the WWII photos of naked Jewish women and children being compliantly led to the "showers". It should be obvious that if they get away with this, anything goes; especially the Constitution.
TSA must have a collective IQ of 100 if they haven't yet figured out that a tampon can contain enough non metallic and odorless explosive to take down a plane. Or maybe they do realize this and know that cavity searches would be the last straw.
WB7 where are you!!!! What a most powerful image that would be. Juxtaposing naked Holocaust victims and the body scanner images.
Stand up and defend your Fourth Amendment Rights!!!
Yeah. You really, really need to do that. I can print it out any size you want. Please let me know when it's done and how I can get a hi-res Jpeg.
I've made one, dunno how to post it
Still can't figure it out...:( http://lh6.ggpht.com/_8eseE1jPbzY/TOtDGRaFPpI/AAAAAAAAACo/6hfGoUItNx8/Un...
Actually, what you've got here is pretty effing good. I can work with it. How about one with the victims lining up before a full body scanner?
Humanity has a collective IQ of 100. The score is normalized so 100 is the 50th percentile. TSA is <80?
Fourth, the goons can evict you from your house whether you have a loan or not, and the burden of proof is on you, which means you sleep in the street.
I saw this crap coming 5 years ago and got a pilot's license and my own plane. Doesn't help for overseas travel, of course.
It's been said here before and I'll say it again : America-you are really,really fucked.
That was a horrifying watch. I've previously posted that i have cancelled my kids trip to San Francisco from New Zealand (PS our foreign debt got downgraded yesterday by the fucking losers S&P...to S&P "fuck you too"). Anyway, where was I?...oh yeah. Remember the thuggish brown shirts of Hitlers Nazi party machinery...well in USA they call them TSA employees. America-you are really,really fucked. Pity, 'cause you were fucking great once. Greed and sloth...not confined to you, it's a Western world gig. But you guys prostrated yourselves more than most before the throne of 'free lunch greed'....and now?: Houston, we gotta problem (in fucking spades)
I created my own "no fly" database, me, my wife, my 3 kids. Sucks too, because we all LOVE(D) flying.
So they can take me out of their database, let me know if you need the SQL statement to do so, probably wasn't in the software build statement, and offshored projects do only what is in the project statement, no more, no less, only what was contracted.
I simply refuse to fly anymore....absolutely would never fork over money to be treated with such disrespect.
The Revolution marches forward...the revolution of defunding...
Fuck them. This is unreal.
WHERE ARE YOUR PAPERS. LET ME SEE YOUR PAPERS.
that's how it starts. and history tells us that when it starts like that, it may not end well.
Everything not prohibited will be mandatory.
It's creeping into the bus stations now. Next stop every entrance and exit ramp across the Cuntry.
The Illuminati is in full Kontrol.

It's called profiling and we need to do it.
Little girls aren't fucking terrorists, this is disgusting.
What happened to this country? I could vomit.
BINGO!
I wish to God I had the money to buy everybody on this site a copy of "Night," by Elie Wiesel. It is the most graphic account of the Nazi invasion of Hungary I have ever read.
The step-by-step progression into totalitarianism is the oldest trick in the book. And we keep falling for it.
Pardon, but other than making more of us aware of the manual for domination, respectfully, what are you doing to unwind this scheme? Running for office, giving money, heating the tar, plucking the chicken??
helping make folks aware of the symptoms of an insidious disease would be perceived in some circles as a productive endeavor.
personally, those are the kinds of folks i want to call friends.
and just to be clear, what office was it that you were running for?
It's O.K. Frustration runs rampant. But I will never, ever run for office. At least not until term limits are the law. And we all know when THAT will happen...
i hope you realize i was backing your comment off the back of your critic, there.
dad said "those who aspire to power have explicitly proven their lack of fitness for that power..."
cheers
"It's called profiling and we need to do it."
Exactly.
The TSA cannot point to one example where they stopped someone...hell the Panty Bombers dad told them his son was coming.
Janet Incompatano's response afterward?...the system worked...LOL.
The Compromise.
FYI, here are the people spreading the cash to Congress:

I went through the "enhanced pat-down" recently, because I didn't want to go through the scanner. . . . . .Lemme tell you: If the TSA did their job any better, I'd have to buy them dinner first.
You want happy ending?
Okay this is not a laughing matter. This is really inhumane stuff, but like it is said above: "Don't fly." And obviously get out of Airline stocks.
don't fly? what's next, don't take the subway, don't take the bus, don't take the train, and don't drive either becuase they will have mobile units set-up on the boulevard if we let them.
Massive non compliance is needed.My solution is not to fly...at all.
If they are allowed to keep doing this, the same techniques will appear at fed buildings...and eventually it will be ubiquitous.
And that is unacceptable.It sure as hell isn't something that jibes with the land of the free....more like the matrix or the fourth Reich.
By not flying, it is sending a poweful message. A loss of revenue to the airlines will scream loader than any disabled vet getting cavity searched due to a terminal change.
and so we won't....all except for the pinhead patriots who will spread eagle and drop trou for uncle scam, you know, "so the terrists won't win"
Ditto, and let me ad....I HATE HATE HATE rigid people.
I hate them.
America R.I.P.
we've become a nation of fascists and bedwetting enablers
"rigid people..."
Very, very prescient. Great descriptor. When I stop to think, most of my miserable-est moments in life have been because of "rigid people..."
it's the dark flipside to the "rule of law"...inflexible obedience to statute... antithetical to Justice.
Every "goon squad" in human history has been staffed with such unimaginative automatons....or sadists....and it all thrives on apathy, the mothers milk of fascism
This won't end either until scores of passengers fill up on Starbucks and Taco Bell and White Castle and then "get nervous" and repaint the inside of those scanners or "Mr. Creepy's" face when he goes for 2nd and 3rd base.
My GF is right...
It always goes back to scatological humor when males are the majority.
Hahaha...
Whatever you do, don't tell the TSA the Muslims have figured out how to use a rectal-bomb.
Ouch.
I'm totally in support of the TSA. At my age, if you get groped -- by anyone, anywhere -- you have to take it as a complement, and I do. As for the whiny little kids and the cripples, they're a monumental pain in the ass to fly with, so good for the TSA for screening them hard. Most of the people on planes these days have no business flying anyway -- visiting Grandma, going to Disneyworld -- what bullshit. Let 'em all stay home, that's what I say.

Rectal Bomb almost kills head of Saudi Anti-Terror team.
Or mention that there are other methods for attacking innocent people besides planes. Mumbai, anyone? Also, I hate to sound insensitive, but at most there are about 300 people on a plane. Odds are still pretty low of being one of those. I think that more planes have wrecked because of malfunctions than terrorist attacks. If someone wanted to bring one down, they wouldn't even have to board it. They're called missile launchers and they've been around a while.
I doubt something like 9/11, where the planes were used as missiles, could be pulled off again unless it was an inside job by a pilot, something TSA doesn't account for anyways.
Very interesting that they started on 9/11/2010, a Saturday - not a Monday. The digits add up to 23, much like 9/11/2001. 23 of course being one of the "holy" numbers along with 3, 23, 33, 666, 9, 11. I'm not obsessed with this, but things happen, I like to add up the digits of the date.
Does anyone know which president and which political party was primarily responsible for the creation of both the TSA and the Department of Homeland Security?
It certainly must be the party that supposedly favors a smaller, less intrusive government, right?
Thank God you brought that up! Otherwise, we might not have the opportunity for some Republicrat bashing. And then what would we do? Maybe talk about the issue at hand?
Putz.
Maybe talk about the issue at hand?
There are numerous issues at hand. Just because the title of this thread is Don't Touch My Junk, doesn't mean that all debates must revolve around my scrotum.
However, if you wish to discuss how the TSA takes x-ray photographs of my scrotum, go ahead. Or if you prefer to talk about TSA abuse on the elderly and handicapped, go ahead.
I prefer to talk about who created this particular department of our government and the stunning hypocrisy behind it. Quite frankly, I see nothing wrong or out-of-place with that. I think most people would be shocked to learn the TSA and DMS were created by the small government party.
It's all equally valid. But if you prefer to talk about my scrotum, I'll be happy to email you a photograph of it.
Once again, if you are looking for salvation of one party because of the evil of the other, you will not get it. BOTH parties are facist. Run down the list of TARP voters, stimuls voters, approvers of Bernanke, etc, etc. They are red and blue. They are the same. Now that that is established, what is your solution?
