Why is Joe Biden constantly looking down as he talks to Larry King? His words and manner do not evince any confidence in what he is saying. Biden is known for being a straight-shooter. Is this his Colin Powell moment? (Remember when Powell lied to the UN about the Iraq WMD?) Biden reportedly rides Amtrak from DC back home to Delaware. Will he feel differently when he has to walk around lines of people being scanned and groped at his favorite Amtrak stations?

    We need more liberals to stand up for civil liberties.

  2. Jeff says:

    I love the eye contact from Biden. If I’ve ever seen someone lying or ashamed of what he’s saying, this is it!

  3. TippyCanoe says:

    If he travels Amtrak then he’s been to Union Station. The mental conditioning of the traveling public has been going on for a while there. My last two trips through were surreal. Not only do they play a loop tape over & over again, showing how either you’ll submit to searches or get off the train and images of putting the dogs on the train. I counted 9, yes, nine separate LE groups in Union… from US Marshals, DC police, 2 groups of K-9 cops, Amtrak cops, Hawk Security?, and a couple of uniforms I didn’t recognize… but the clincher was the DHS fellas toting full-on M-4′s in tactical slings and looking fierce. It was bizarre and intimidating. I’ve seen this twice in the last year. Check this out, too – if I counted correctly, the McDonalds in Union Station has 19 CCTV smoked dome cams… welcome to 1984.

    Body language is screaming that he knows what he’s saying is ridiculous.

  5. bccmee says:

    This is so disappointing. Our Fourth Amendment rights are non-existent once you buy an airline ticket. How is that “reasonable cause” for searching innocent people? I’m very ashamed of this administration.

  6. owg646 says:

    Unreal. “We need the latest technology to find explosives”. How about bomb sniffing dogs!! There’s some technology for ya. These folks are in total CYA mode. Support Opt Out day on 11/24. We must be heard.

  7. owg646 says:

    And Pistole needs to be replaced. He is out of touch and out of control.

    For me the whole sweater of lies is unraveling. Let’s pull a thread and see where it leads.

    1. They are forcing these scanners on us even though they wouldn’t have caught the undies bomber (from the GAO, powders wouldn’t show up). 2. The undies bomber was impotent. There was no detonator, plastic explosives need detonators. The bombing attempt was bogus. 3. The shoe bomber was also bogus, also for the same reasons. 4. Because of these two bogosities we are forced to take off our shoes and now bare all to a scanner or groping hands. 5. What’s the point, to protect us or to make us feel controlled, just as prisoners are controlled. 6. If these are government/TSA frauds, what else is a fraud? 7. It all leads back to 9/11. 7. Did the Pentagon really get hit by a large Boeing, whose remains have never been documented? 8. Did another large Boeing crash directly into a mine shaft at Shanksville, PA (how often does that happen, huh?) — again with no remains remaining? 9. Why did WTC7 fall, after being hit by nothing? 10. How could WTC 1 & 2 fall at freefall speed into their own shadows after being hit by pilots who couldn’t pass the tests on Cessnas? Incidentally the only time steel framed highrise buildings have fallen in a fire in all of history. 11. How come unquenchable fires continued for weeks/months in the debris? Fires, that supplied their own oxygen and thus couldn’t be put out by water (think thermite). 12. Why did Giuliani forbid all photography at Ground Zero and ship the criminal evidence off to China to be melted down and reused? What did he have to hide. The questions go on and on.

    Everything Pistole, Napolitano, Biden, Obama says about security is a lie. Massive lies — all woven from a single thread.

  9. Sherri says:

    Gotta love how Jill Biden answers Larry King with a “Yes, it’s intrusive,” when he asks about the putdowns. Then she goes on to say that we should just put up with it. I’m so sick of this crap. Let the TSA grope her and let’s see how she changes her story. It makes me want to vomit that people think it’s okay for the gov’t to erode our rights.

  10. TomDean says:

    Yes, he is obvious ashamed of what he is saying. His body language says volumes. What Jill says almost made me vomit. Does she believe what she said. The “War on Terror” is a miserable failure, if every traveling American must be treated in this manner. There are more effective ways to make travel safe. Time to clean house and get someone worthy of the offices now occupied by these people.

  11. Harvey Flea says:

    So Mrs. Biden supports fighting terrorism by terrorizing people? That makes absolutely no sense!

  12. RJW says:

    I used to think the Obama administration had integrity. Not anymore.

  13. SagHill says:

    Follow the money. Who is financially benefitting from all this “homeland security.”
    What’s the total cost of a full body scanner. Where does all that gov’t cash go when they buy 600 of them?
    This isn’t about security, it’s about pooling more and more of our national wealth at the top.
    Keep swallowing proles.

    TSA
    TOTAL SEXUAL ASSAULT

    If you’re jobless and you’re gay
    The TSA wants your resume!

    Now here’s a chance, more than you’d hope
    If same-sex touching you enjoy
    For legal governmental grope.
    Barack Obama will employ

    Those who like to stroke and feel
    Genitalia of a stranger:
    No longer under secret seal–
    Worry not! For there’s no danger.

    Freely let foraging finger
    Lusting for a crass caress
    On travellers’ privates gently linger.
    Wait not upon assentiing Yes”.

    Security-of-person swapped
    For safer soaring in the sky:
    For “liberties” not LIBERTY
    Shall our valiant soldiers die.
