Sorry, can't view videos on this computer.
Awww....Too bad, it was a report of a TSA guy being arrested for walking through the airport saying he was God, and he was in charge.
Ahh, J-Mac thinks something stupid about me. Let me go worry myself over it now. Sad face
Nah, I don't, really. But you do obviously about me, and from the slew of wonderful insults in previous postings in this thread, not just about me either, but rather those that disagree with you. It is a shame.
And I'm sure the AMAZING minds at "The Blaze" took the time to stop and think that elderly people are the most likely grouping of individuals to have various types of medical devices that make going through metal detectors worthless and thus have to be searched by hand due to this fact, right?
Well, ain't that special? Grandmom trying to board a plane to see the kiddies for Christmas and she gets groped at every boarding....Merry Christmas Grandma, welcome to hell.
The only "random searches" I am aware of that would be authorized is I believe at a time they were having every "nth" person selected for additional screening. This is significantly different than randomly and arbitrarily choosing someone on the highway to pull over as the ONLY person to give ANY kind of search to. This is a set number, with the individual not being chosen by the person searching but by an algorithim that predetermines people based on numbers. A far cry different than a cop just pulling someone over at some point and deciding to give them a search for the hell of it. And, here I'm going to shock you, its a practice I actually think is wrong and one that does fall outside the scope of what should be allowable.
Ok, but I guess what gets me, is that one being allowed, leads at some point to the other becoming common practice. Remember Rham's advice to Barry, "Never let a crisis go to waste."
Shocker, I know, that some poeple are actually able to look at things objectively and not just in a black and white "good or bad" as a whole type of way.
And some people are able to disagree and still have a conversation. What do ya say we start over and drop the back handed slaps at each other?
Wonderful, I disagree with her. They should get the same kind of pat down as everyone else. And by the way, EVERYONE has the right to refuse the full body scan and get a pat down in private. Your point?
My point is that we are wasting valuable resource treating everyone in America like criminals.
Again, you seem to think that everything is black and white and if you dare actually agree with something you must agree with ALL of it.
That is simply untrue. Now let's not start this, you just accused me of misrepresenting.
Which is rather funny since the ACLU was saying the exact same thing about almost identical searches since 2004 and I never heard this much outrage from republicans. On the contrary I often heard defenses of it. Funny that.
Hmmmm, might you have a quote from me on that from 2004?
That by "Zyph's logic you'd be subject to search without warrant on them", which is a strawman built up from the non-existant attribute you placed on my posts that somehow I was suggesting that the ONLY issue was federal ownership of land and that somehow I was suggesting there's a direct analog between the air transit system and the highway system.
Do precedents have unintended consequences ever?
