Question the TSA at your own Risk

What’s worse, the Gestapo or the TSA? Well, the Gestapo refused to hire perverts.

Man, it’s too bad she lied so much, she just seems like an attention whore now, regardless of what actually happened.

One question, how could these scanners have detected the “crotch bomber”? Are powders dense enough to be detected this way?

Anybody note how the media always supports the govt? How their “person in the street” interviews tilt strongly in favor of govt. actions that take away our freedoms, treat us like criminals?

If you see reports you object to on TV, go to their website and go to Contact. Usually there is a “leave a message” option. They seem to pay attention to these messages.

I’ve just found this site via a link via a tweet from a friend of mine.

It’s rather disturbing that the TSA decided to release CCTV camera footage of this event, showing the distressed traveller and then choose to moderate comments for approval. Not a problem? The TSA thus far have approved only one comment and it contains the words, “Eff this stupid girl”.

Not good, USA.

Do any of you really think TSA is going to care if everyone requests a full body pat down instead of walking through the metal detector or body scanners?
They get to go home once their shift is over, no matter how long the lines are.
Less passengers flying means less work for them!
TSA must be doing something right if no hijackings or attacks have occured on American soil since 9/11.
I’d feel much safer if everyone was screened thoroughly. A terrorist can be anyone.

A report from many sources, incl. the BBC, suggested that Abdullah Hassan Al Aseeri adopted the new tactic of “carrying explosives in his anal cavity” for an attack. I understand that body scanners don’t see inside body cavities. If so,
and if the Gov’s argument is that security wasn’t tight enough before, hence the body scanners, then that’s still the case.
So, everyone should be calling their congress person to demand, if anything, that the law be tightened even further to include mandatory anal searches.

Is there any tipping point that Americans won’t tolerate? I’m beginning to doubt it.
I mean if body scanners aren’t enough to get the people to revolt, maybe anal searches will…or not.

So what do all of you propose to detect another underwear bomber if not these scans or pat downs??… Flying is not a right…I will choose to go through this in order to get somewhere instead of driving across the United States.

Minimou: Flying is a priveledge to fly if you are a private pilot, but it is a right when you purchase a service. The only time when there is any question about “rights” is when one person infringes on the rights of others. I used to drive for Greyhound and occasionally I had to call the police to have a passenger removed from the bus for fighting, abusing another passenger, or committing a crime. However I couldn’t refuse service to a ticket holder. When that person purchases a service, a contact is signed to provide the service.

Police use profiling every day when they are on routine patrol. Drivers act in a certain way when they are intoxicated and can be pulled over under because resonable suspicion allows the traffic stop under the law. In the case of terrorism, there is an existing profile of the type of person that commit these acts. One hundred percent of terrorists since 9/11 have been Middle Eastern males, under 35 and Muslim. There has never been a Catholic Nun or Priest, a Christian W.A.S.P., a child of any age, a grandmother, or anyone of caucasian, black, or Asian decent that have perpetrated one of these crimes, it has oly been Muslim males from the Middle East that have either taken control of an aircraft to use as a weapon, or have attempted to destroy an aircraft and themselves.

Think of this; “Who would you prefer to sit next to on an aircraft; a Middle Eastern Muslim male, or an unknown serial killer?” I would choose a serial killer because there has never been a serial killer that has killed themselves in the commission of their crimes. Since 1960 there have been 156 known serial killers and not one ever destroyed an aircraft with themselves on board. They want to kill for their amusement, or twisted logic, but they are not suicidal. Therefore I would be much safer sitting beside Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dammer, or John Wayne Gacey than someone who fits the profile of a terrorist bomber, or hyjacker.

Still in their ultimate, twisted thinking, the Obama Administration is putting rules in place to check everyone except those who fit the profile of a terrorist. It makes no sense and “It is not logical Mr. Spock,” to give Muslims a pass because it may offend them, or because they fit the profile and profiling is said to be “racist.” The Isreali’s have no problems with terrorists ever boarding aircraft and they are sitting smack-dab in the middle of the terrorist center of the world. We should look at what they are doing and adopt their program, or just hire Isreali security services to run ours. It would work a lot better than what the Obama Administration is doing.

Ugly or bald isn’t going to protect you from the enhanced gropers. Just report them if they seem to salivate excessively.

This opt out day is good American work. When our forefathers drafted the Constitution it was for the expressed purpose of protecting the people of the Republic from the government. It was designed to limit the power of the government because it was the experience of these learned men that without these protections a government will eventually turn on the people that supported it. This is a fact that has repeated itself through out the course of history. We have as a nation failed to protect these freedoms. Little by little our government has slowly been extinguishing the light of freedom, freedom that allowed this country to achieve greatness. The actions of the TSA are just some of the latest in an evolving agenda of control our misguided “elected,” officials are exerting on society, a society that is so far removed from understanding the foundation that men like Adams, Franklin, Madison, and others so carefully laid out for us. I read that 81% of the people think that the techniques employed by the TSA are acceptable, that it makes us more secure. This does not surprise me as I would bet that an even larger percentage are ignorant of what the fourth amendment is, and worse yet how this actually makes us less secure as a nation. Yes, this opt out day is born of a spirit that made Americans throw out a government that smothered us with oppression, and military force. I only hope that we can open our eyes to this fallacious policy, and then find the courage and perseverance to keep up this good American fight. It will be a struggle, but in my humble opinion, well worth it. I think Jefferson would agree.
