TSA Moves To Make Ineffective Body Scanners Mandatory
Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
The $160 million bill includes $120 million for the body scanners now in place in hundreds of airports nationwide, according to newly disclosed figures obtained by POLITICO. The rest of the money went to the agency’s “naked” X-ray scanners, which it pulled from airports two years ago amid worries about health risks and the devices’ detailed images of travelers’ bodies.
A recent security audit found that TSA had failed to find fake explosives and weapons in 96 percent of covert tests. And members of Congress familiar with the classified details say the body scanners are to blame for much of the problem.
Johnson said that while bomb detection is obviously a complex undertaking, “these things weren’t even catching metal.”
– From the post: Big Brother Idiocy – TSA Spent $160 Million on Naked Body Scanners that Fail 96% of the Time
Long time Liberty Blitzkrieg readers will be well aware of the fact that I’ve never gone through one of the TSA’s ridiculous and completely pointless naked body scanners. Whatever shred of human dignity an American citizen has left is relinquished the moment one consents to raising his or her arms in the air like a prisoner, while a machine that never met a terrorist it could catch scans an image of your body in yet another superfluous display of imperial slave-training.
Have you ever stopped to think about how ridiculous your fellow travelers look when they go through one of these things. Take a look at the following images and think about them for a second.
Reflect upon what the thoughtless consent to such demeaning behavior does to the psyche of an American citizen. Can such people truly think of themselves as free, empowered individuals, or have they been conditioned to think of themselves as helpless prisoners, grateful to the all powerful security state for their continued survival? Moreover, note that the “hands up” pose is the one a passenger is required to assume, the exact same posture police force upon people during a confrontation.
Of course, this intentional demoralization and slave-condiitoning of the American public is happening all across U.S. society. Since it primarily operates at the subconscious level, most people don’t even recognize it, but happening it most certainly is.
What’s worse, these pointless machines don’t even work, and the entire TSA spectacle is pure security theater. But don’t take my word for it. We learned the following in the post, Big Brother Idiocy – TSA Spent $160 Million on Naked Body Scanners that Fail 96% of the Time:
It’s now becoming clear exactly how many tens of millions of dollars the TSA spent on body scanners that have missed airport security threats, outraged passengers and brought the agency under congressional scrutiny.
The $160 million bill includes $120 million for the body scanners now in place in hundreds of airports nationwide, according to newly disclosed figures obtained by POLITICO.

Johnson said that while bomb detection is obviously a complex undertaking, “these things weren’t even catching metal.”
“If you really want to keep using those, and I’m not saying we shouldn’t, at a minimum we should put a metal detector on the other side,” the Wisconsin Republican said in an interview. “Why not go through two? You’ve just gotta use common sense.”
So despite a 96% failure rate, the TSA’s response is to double down and begin the process of making body scanner use mandatory.
For the record, I’m not saying that choosing to get a pat down is particularly dignifying, but it is nevertheless a form of non-compliance. It is a way of saying I’m not going to play your game and go through these ineffective machines with my hands up in the air like a convict and pretend they are actually doing something.
Apparently, the TSA is fed up with some of us peasants making such a choice, so they have begun the process of removing the voluntary opt-out option.
Time reports:
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screeners at airports can now force passengers to go through body scanners, according to a new policy change.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has updated its protocol to no longer allow passengers to opt out of being electronically scanned at through Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) machines at checkpoints. Before the change, people could choose a physical screening.
“While passengers may generally decline AIT screening in favor of physical screening, TSA may direct mandatory AIT screening for some passengers,” the DHS issued in a Dec. 18 policy update.
The change weakens the opt-out rule but doesn’t entirely eliminate it, a TSA spokesman told TIME. “Passengers undergoing screening will still have the option to decline an AIT screening in favor of a physical screening,” agency spokesman Mike England said in a statement. “However, some passengers will still be required to undergo AIT screenings as warranted by security considerations in order to safeguard transportation security.”
A couple of points to make here. First of all, the TSA is saying that body scanner screening may be mandatory for some passengers, but it fails to make clear the criteria that would disqualify someone from opting out. This is troubling since it’s reminiscent of the due process destroying no-fly list (see: How Obama is Using the Grossly Unconstitutional “No Fly List” to Push Gun Control).
Indeed, the only thing the TSA is alluding to is the fact some passengers will be denied the right to opt-out “in order to safeguard transportation security,” something we know is a sham since the body scanners have a 96% failure rate.
So what’s actually going on? My view is that this is simply another example of government conditioning the populace to accept a slave-like mentality in exchange for a false promise of protection. If the government can convince people to engage in pointless security theater that doesn’t work just to take a flight, what won’t they be capable of forcing people to do a few years down the road?

Wow...I have opted out for years. It never ends FUCKERS. I fly a lot...and these TSA losers are all Walmart rejects. If you do fly a lot as i do I would recommend paying the $100 for this.

No lines...no scanner.
Me too... saving for a private jet is now my only option.
At least there is a lively debate on this subject among the Presidential hopefuls.
Israeli company makes these, right?
The scanners are made by Rapiscan, headquartered in California.
Their principal lobbyist group is The Chertoff Group, headed by former DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff, a dual US-Israeli citizen.
Correct. And if my memory serves me correct, he left that company to work for DHS, where he promptly had DHS order those stupid scanners. The level of corruption is almost beyond comprehension. And they get away with it day after day.
It's interesting to point out though - obviously the terror threat to this country to grossly exaggerated. The TSA failures prove it - if they fail to catch a guy pretending to snuggle a weapon or bomb on board 96% of the time, and no plane has blown up over US soil or been taken over by terrorists in Over a decade, then there must not be anyone who even cares to do it. After all, chances are if they had, they would have succeeded, right?
Lots of pork there. Amazng that anyone in DC has the balls to criticize the gubmint corruption in other countries.
Quick correction:
Chertoff was DHS Secretary first (from 2005 - 2009). DHS placed an order for the scanners shortly after his tenure began, mid-2005.
He formed his lobbying company - the Chertoff Group - literally about a week after he stepped down as SECDHS.
Amusingly, the official Rapiscan corporate website has an entire page devoted to addressing its relationship to Chertoff, full of lively doublespeak.

Could use dogs but then the joos wouldn't make any money-
http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/2010/1130/Should-TSA-let-airport-passenger-...
Welcome to totalitarian state of Amerika, complete with theatrical bureacracy and deprivation of basic human dignity. Forward Soviet!
Well, the scanners do work well enough to detect me flipping them off with both hands.
They told me 5 times to place my hands "as they are in the illustration". Fgm.
These hexagram people really like to skim money and look at peoples gentitals.
And people are just fine being pussies and being afraid?
Merry Christmas Chertoff, you Zio-scum POS!!!
Chertoff was in league with an Indian man who put the underwear boomer on the plane from Amsterdam. Another hapless idiot used to bring in the scanners which reduce Americans to cattle but made money for the manufacturer Rapiscan and Chertoff - an Israeli citizen. A State Department admitted that the official who helped the underwear bomber get on the plane worked for the US Government.
http://www.mlive.com/news/detroit/index.ssf/2009/12/flight_253_passenger...
The Detroit Christmas bomber was deliberately and intentionally allowed to keep his US entry visa as the result of a national security override issued by an as yet unknown US intelligence or law-enforcement agency with the goal of blocking the State Department’s planned revocation of that visa. This is the result of hearings held on January 27 before the House Homeland Security Committee, and in particular of the testimony of Patrick F. Kennedy, Undersecretary of State for Management. The rickety US government official version of the December 25 Detroit underwear bomber incident, which has been jerry-built over the past month and a half, has now totally collapsed, and key elements of the terrorism-spawning rogue network inside US agencies and departments are unusually vulnerable to a determined campaign of exposure.

SHOE BOMBER, started all this not underware bomber
Spot on. That Scum Fuck had the whole operation ready right after the underware bomber scare. I forget what year. Was a Friday and Scum Fuck was on Meet The Press that Sunday announcing the roll out of the Caner Naked Body Scanners.
He's one to be hunted once the shit goes down. Hear that Mikey?
I thought Soros sold his stake in that company after having his boy, Braack, buy them. Guess not.
FORWARD SOVIET ROENTGENS!
They're still stumbling over the level of offense embodied in the phrase "Merry Christmas," I believe, so don't hold your breath.
I think saying "Merry Christmas" in public is now a Class B Misdemeanor .. but Barry and his team are pushing to make it a felony ... by Executive Order.
It elevated above "micro-aggression" even before we knew what a micro-aggression was.
I was at Prole Foods and Trader Joe's today. Both places - "happy holidays." For fuck's sake, it's like two days before Christmas...
p.s. and both places, gotta use the new chip on the debit card. Fvck me - next you gotta use the chip on your hand, etc.
edit: Okay, and I was at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse tonight. At the end of the night, me and my buddy were out having a smoke and the waitress gal wished me "Happy Holidays" as she walked out. Wished her back a Merry Christmas and told her not to be PC. Huge smile back. Yeah!
I was at a home beer brewing shop after work getting some supplies to finish up a batch. The gal, my usual girl that knows more about beer then anyone I have ever met. Wished me a "happy holidays", I said back to her "merry Christmas, if that's what you celebrate". She smiled and said "I do celebrate it but I have to be PC you know". I said "I hope that shit ends real soon, being PC". She looked at me and smiled and said "me too, go trump". I nodded and said I think he's the only hope we have at this point. We will see, for the record Rand is my first choice.
If I was emperor for a day, I would require all public officials including the president to fly coach, middle seats only.
If you can't keep weapons out of prisons you'll never keep them out of airports and off airplanes. Besides, there's always a doughnut eating cop around with a holstered weapon virtually asking to be disarmed. Real terrorists are not going to be dissuaded by US airport security. It's a joke, no, really it's a theater. The world a stage, princes to act and monarchs to behold the sweating scene.
Middle seat coach is clearly unconstitutional. It's cruel and unusual punishment. On United, it would be tantamount to the death penalty.
Fuck, try the middle seat on Delta. I would rather be waterboarded while having bamboo shoots driven under my fingernails and Hillary Clinton sitting on my face after having eaten a whole pot of chili than to sit in that damn middle seat on a Delta flight.
I would rather see Donald Trump naked
I would rather see Hillary Naked
Forgive me for being a 1%er, but if your destination is 1000 miles or less, chartered piston aircraft are pretty time-competitive with jets and way more affordable. Still looking at prices higher than a first class commercial airline ticket, but in the realm of possibilities for someone who makes six figures.
I put my money where my mouth is almost 10 years ago and while I've traveled by air probably a half dozen times in the past couple years, I drove my car onto the freakin' tarmac and never took my shoes off, and carried a leatherman tool with a full-sized blade to boot.
Seriously fuck the TSA and their stupid theater-based security. Once the doors locked on the cockpits of airliners, we'd be just as safe with the 1980s era rules and metal detectors, and a hell of a lot more free.
How much does that run you? Ball park.
Depends on distance, but ballpark a Cirrus at $350-$500/hr, plus $75/hr crew (there are also crew standby and overnight fees depending on how long you stay, typically $60/hr / $500 overnight.) There are tricks you can do to get costs down. (become a student or private pilot, then it's billed at flight instruction rates which are lower, you might end up flying the plane for a bit but that's actually kind of fun.)
Figure a 800 mile distant destination is going to be about $3-5K (my last was $3,500 round trip.) I love the Cirrus, it's fast and cheap, and pretty safe for a single engine. If you go with a twin, it will be about double the low end of the range, e.g. $6-7K.
So it's not cheap compared to commercial, but consider that you have no security screening past the charter co running your name through a database, you literally drive up to the plane in most cases, and the schedule is pretty much "the plane leaves when you show up." I save enough in drive time (you leave from a nearby commuter airport rather than the nearest major hub) and line waiting/arriving early for security/etc that I usually get to a 800 mile distant destination faster in a 180kt single engine plane that I do in a 400kt+ commercial airliner.
If you bring someone along there's a small extra fee but not much, and that obviously cuts the per-person fare in half. You really can't do much more than 2 people + pilot + luggage in the small ones, but twins you can probably get 4-5 people in pretty easy.
Man I'd love to hear more was always a dream of mine to get instrument rated and own malibue mirage.
Can you give a "fictional scenario" of how you would handle a round trip with ground transportation to airport at destination and scheduling return flight?
Pretty easy.
Simple version: pick up phone and call and tell them what you want. It's that easy.
Long version:
There's usually an overnight fee and a fee for the pilot when he's not flying, if you're planning a multi-day trip, you're probably going to burn through about $1K/day to have the plane and pilot sitting there twiddling thumbs. If you're going to be gone a long time, they'll probably just deadhead the plane back home and use it and then come back -- they'll do whatever is cheapest for you unless you're explicit about wanting the plane and pilot available at a moment's notice, which again, you pay for.
I pretty much make all my travel same-day turn-around or one-day stays at most, not just to minimize cost but also to maximize my own available time. You usually gain a full day's work with charter v. commercial travel, just because you're not wasting so much time waiting, etc.
that's awesome Seek - i wish you safe travels -
have you noticed an uptick of small plane crashes though?
it's really a good handful everyday - Goobner Brown just had a newly appointed , former OSHA man - go down just a few miles from the Oakland airport ... it was reported he was piloting it...
seriously, there's a LOT of small plane crashes. most don't have the parachute like the Walmart man did who was able to walk out alive.
i used to want to have an ultralight ... then the flying squirrel suit .... not anymore
Plane crashes make great news. I'd say a small plane crash probably makes the national news at least once or twice a week. How many car accidents with similar fatities (usually just a couple) make national news? So a lot of this is just reporting bias.
Chartered planes are held to a higher maintenance standard than small private planes are, so they're generally going to be safer. It's not risk-free, but neither is driving to the airport. At least with the Cirrus, you have the 'chute option if things go really wrong and you're above the minimum altitude.
As long as you acknowldege that this $100 service is a racket, albeit a handy one.
And of course if at some future date you decide to become a terrorist, well, you're in the door, they won't see that one coming.
The TSA is run by degenerates who are a lot like the Catholic Church leaders who tolerated pedophile priests. One defrocked pedophile priest who joined the TSA as an airport screener rose through the ranks rapidly, probably because of his willingness to frisk children. The TSA is another legacy gift of the Bush crime family, along with the drug alliance with Columbian druglords, the death squads that "suicide" Americans who complain too much and the worldwide child salvery racket.
Notice how these Scum Fucks pull this shit during the Holiday Season when the sheep are distracted? Fuck The TSA and the Criminal Fraud UNITED STATES, CORP. INC.
The remedy is simple, have everyone and their mothers everyday Opt Out. I mean everyone in mass. They'll have no choice to re install the Opt Out policy.
Keep asking for the Opt Out PERIOD!!
Better yet, another NO fly date in mass. Worked the last time.
So, did you apply for Global Entry before or after starting to post here?
Takeaction2. Yeah, you get TSA Pre-Check with your Global Entry and that's fine for domestic flights. However, for international travel, which is what I've almost exclusively done over the last four years, TSA Pre-Check isn't available for foreign carriers. And since I would rather shoot myself in the leg than fly one of the US legacy carriers internationally, I can't use Pre-Check. Global Entry is great. Now, instead of waiting for an hour in line for immigration when I get home, I wait an hour at baggage claim.
"Trusted Traveler™"
Travelers must be pre-approved for the Global Entry program. All applicants undergo a rigorous background check and in-person interview before enrollment.
While Global Entry’s goal is to speed travelers through the process (fingerprint scanner), members may STILL be selected for further examination when entering the United States. Any violation of the program’s terms and conditions will result in the appropriate enforcement action and termination of the traveler’s membership privileges.
"all this for 100 bucks"
seriously ? i had heard conflicting report that "trusted traveller" still had to jump through most of the same hoops - if it really works, sounds like a Benny F FRN might be worth it -
and yes, it's another give-away no-bid for the Chertoff Group - they didn't even need another underwear firecracker dud terroirista to make it happen ... remember that was Christmas day just 6 short years ago ...
big thanks to the lawyer Kurt Haskell, iirc - he witnessed the entire scam getting that patsy on the plane without any credentials !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
AJ had him on the show many times- also another excellent Binney interview yesterday - come on you NSA employees = speak up now while you can
oh ya, you have to givre up your finger prints for this. just like a fn sheep!
How about a real protest, Just STOP flying and make sure you write an email to your congressman and tell him! fn Pussies!
Voluntarily giving up your freedom!
Never!
What's the quality control re radiation leaks on these machines? Go ahead; take a guess.
the tsa goons don't wear lead shielding so they will be the first to suffer. idiots.
from what i read they're already dropping like flies...
or maggots. i forgot.
freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose
Fuck 'em.
I don't fly anymore...ever.
I worked in aviation for years and would fly anything, anywhere, anytime.
No more.
Absolutely. Gorgeous continent and I can see a lot of it in a 2 week vacation. Not even expensive, there are cheap motels everywhere now, dot-Indian homesteaders.
I just don't take jobs that require travel.
Fuck the cultural priorities. We used to go to the moon. We used to have a space shuttle. We used to have supersonic airplanes for passengers.
Now everyone is too busy jerking off on their smartphones and being offended by eberything.
- we pretended to go to the moon. And play golf on the moon. It was fun. not.

yep - see the homeless mother who drove into the Las Vegas crowd while the Miss Universe was going on right there....
apparently she was trying to get some rest in her car at casino parking lots, single mother, missing baby daddy - and kept getting run out of the lots...
she lost it ... had nothing to lose.... 3 dead, maybe more ...30 some in hospital ... now she gets housing paid for by the STATE
She had her 3 y old in the car with her!
America has all the money in the world for bombs but no help for their own people.
Exceptional allright!
Lucy Napolitano did never want to get through one....
It's ironic that the scanners themselves cause an increase in cancer as a result of the radiation exposure to the flying population greater than the "threat" they are attempting to mitigate. That is a security failure by definition. Just wait until the TSA minions start coming down with huge levels of cancer vs the normal population... Nevermind that they don't work at all. Onward with the SS indefensible! What a fucking joke.
If you want to keep some level of dignity when going through these scanners, just give 2 middle fingers during your pose. I do it all the time.
There already cases of TSA coming down with cancer. Pretty sure I remember a Boston story about it as well a couple years back. Of course it got quashed and no one knows about it.

Easy peezy.
techno business to steal insider treasury
fudge.
I don't fly commercial. Stop paying them. Change jobs if you have to. It's not worth the cost to you to enable them.
All part of the slow kill ..
See Agenda 21
what's 22 billion gallons of glyphosate on our crop lands anyway ?
and a fair amount of aluminum & barium concoctions with a smattering of lithium to breath in and accumulate on the topsoil ?
- slowkill is right ....
I guess the satanists behind the banks and governments who are trying to make the people passive and submissive do not realize that yes, it is possible to enslave people's bodies with force or threat of force, but, it is impossible to enslave people's minds, hearts and souls. People can only enslave that part of them themselves.
AND
The more the banks and their proxy governments physically repress people, the more the people distance themselves inside and apart from the evil.
those machines make my heart flutter. I will just quit flying
EHS tiptoe.
almost there.
Damn... I always opt out just to make the schmucks do something... They used to get real pissy about it. Lately they have actually been reasonably nice... Not sure why.
None the less, guess it's time to rack up more miles on my vehicles and enjoy more good road trips. I like road trips anyway, so F off TSA.
Yep, more road trips and camping. Enjoy nature. Nothing hurts these Zionist Scum Fucks more than hitting them in the wallet.
The next time they pat you down start saying stuff out loud like "oh yeah, that feels good... oh yeah, right there... oh god yeah, more" and watch the guy finish your pat down in record time.
No, TSA agent, I can't raise my arm above my head due to a labral tear in my shoulder that I can't afford to have fixed despite my Obamacare policy.
No Muslims fly, problem solved.
Do they have to pay you big bucks to act the fool or is it easy for you?
Who wants to blow up planes these days? The answer is just to simple for you isn't it. Muslims can walk or fly on the're own airlines. I'm feeling Trumpish at the moment and unable to be politically correct.
I see several things here.
More money for Chertoff.
Dr. Mary's Minkey...the soft tissue cancer you're going to juice further with the radiation.
More TSA agents getting cancer than have already.
Considering a passle of screeners alone are on the NFL, I wouldn't think of paying for a demoralizing grope from their make busy gubmint cheese workers.
And guess who else gets a cutback on all the TSA’s use of the body scanners, invasive pat-downs and feeling arounds: George Soros...
by the way of the company Rapiscan.
Mark Hemmingway of The Washington Examiner said in 2010 that Soros then owned 11,300 shares of the OSI Systems Inc., the company that owns Rapiscan.
Land o' Goshen, that man cannot check out fast enough.
Along with several others.
his brother died a couple years ago .... so at least mortality does run in the family genes
You know if all the engineers and scientist actually stood by some morality, this would all end.... I have personally quit several jobs and declined projects (medical and defense) for my own personal company because I didn't want to engineer what I felt was immoral.
I have told other engineers what they are doing isn't right, but they either can't comprehend that whatever they develop for the war machine will come back home against them and that the medical devices/"solutions" they develop are just to make money on the medical issues the companies actually create.... or they are just in reality idiots. I'm not sure yet.... I do know quite a few do get it, but it's a paycheck to support their families.
Freedom to travel ain't nothing to fuck with.
Get a warrant, fascists.
Ow my balls!
The branches of “state security” were one of the very important set of controls that regulated the huge machine that historians call the Stalinist party-state.
Are Americans being herded down that same banker-financed path toward Bolshevism and Stalinism, toward mass repression and unrelenting secret police surveillance?
The answer is yes.
During Stalin’s quarter century of supreme power alone, from 1929 until his death in 1953, Oleg Khlevniuk estimates that Stalin “caused the imprisonment and execution of no fewer than a million Soviet citizens per year. Millions more were victims of famine directly resulting from Stalin’s policies.”
Writes Khlevniuk, senior research fellow at the State Archive of the Russian Federation:
“Stalin himself did not need to exercise tight control over all party and government bodies in order to retain dictatorial power. It was sufficient to hold the main levers of power, the most important being control of the secret police. He understood, sooner than other Soviet leaders, that state security could be a valuable weapon in intraparty warfare. This was a key reason for his success. Once he attained control of the Soviet Union’s ‘punitive structures,’ he never let it slip from his hands. He continued to use state security as an instrument of power until the day he died. Stalin devoted much time to the hands-on management of state security and during certain periods—most notably during the Terror of 1937-1938—the majority of the time…
“Overall, the Stalinist dictatorship subjected at least 60 million people to some sort of ‘hard’ or ‘soft’ repression and discrimination.
“…in addition to the 26 million who were shot, imprisoned, or subjected to internal exile, tens of millions were forced to labor on difficult and dangerous projects, arrested, subjected to lengthy imprisonment without charges, or fired from their jobs and evicted from their homes for being relatives of ‘enemies of the people.’
“To this figure we must add the victims of periodic famines or starvation, which during 1932-1933 alone took the lives of between 5 and 7 million people.
“…It would not be an exaggeration to say that an absolute majority were brutally suppressed by a privileged minority—except that many in that minority were also swept up in that terror.”
that being the case - I had tried, but have not succeeded to my satisfaction in picturing the Russia pre-WWI ...say late 1800s...
was it just a series of farmland and small villages connected by dirt roads, paths worn from maybe hundreds of years use ? did they have pubs with beer like their neighbors to the West ?
the upheaval post WWI and through the next 50 years sounds incredibly thorough ...
Invert it as the western elites suppress populations bcoming the new Bolsheviks.
So what nations globally will supply arms for the western uprising because there is money in that.
Take the Freedom Grope while you can
Stop the crony corporate welfare.
Boycott air travel.
"Stop the crony corporate welfare.
Boycott air travel."
Yes, sure. Another option is to buy your own plane./s
No but at my company we either skype or outsource secure teleconferencing. Flying is a last resort.
Canadian airports dint have these scanners. Our planes aren't blowing up.
If you have a bottle of water in your carry-on luggage, it is confiscated by TSA as a potential bomb. The TSA agent takes the bottle and throws it in a garbage can near the scanning device, along with all the other confiscated water bottles. So your potential bomb in a water bottle is stored along with other potential bombs in the security area with hundreds of people in close proximity. Think about that a minute and you will know all you need to know about TSA.
Your TSA at work-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxxt44KFg1Y
Actually, I think they started confiscating waterbottles because some "nationalities" were smuggling diamonds in the water. They made up some song-and-dance about being able to mix liquid explosives in the toilet, and so they started taking water bottles away, as well as big tubes of toothpaste and shampoo... The whole-body scanners had nothing to do with explosives, either. They were looking for packets of cash that people would duct-tape to their chests and backs in order to take currency out of the country...
What you see here is the failure of the war on drugs. Now that many states have revolted and legalized drugs you have seen the dramatic switch to terrorism in order to keep the machine(s) going. As for drugs the writing is on the wall and in about 10 years all drugs will be legal. Terrorism is just getting started and has a long way to go until people realize it too is a scam.

BUT - the DC vote to legalize for retail has somehow been scuttled, AGAIN. Can't have our Reps & Senators legally visiting the shops to pick up the Kind Bud and see for themselves what a farce it has been ...
don't fly
Fuck that shit, I'm not going to glow in the dark. Forget flying.
Oh when the inevitable WW3 starts you will definitely glow wether you fly or not!
Wow I can't think of anything else to add as a comment, other than to say the TSA, DHS, and many more departments of the US government are corrupt at the top and on down. These people exercize their oath to get the paycheck rather than uphold what it truly means.
More eloquently put...
They betray the population from the top down.
For many moons now I love pointing out to these people this...
If you do it solely for the better than everbody else paycheck ... YOU ARE A MERC.
If you do it on believing you are doing it for the population ... YOU ARE A FREEDOM FIGHTER.
If you are a sadistic power freek shooting people etc. ... YOU ARE THE TERRORIST.
They all fall into these categories, mercs being the most, thena substantial number of terrorists with a very small number of freedom fighters because they get swamped overruled by the others.
Problem is those fucking things actually do emit harmful levels of radiation for people who are frequent flyers.
Quiet plebe! Back to the wheel for you. They care not about that little inconvenient truth.
We are TSA.
We are the government.
We are the banks.
We are the AMA.
We are your world.
Our cancer-causing machines bring us great profit.
So enjoy the horror we bring to you.
