Nice to see people are FINALLY waking up to the government thugs that is the TSA. Its been long overdue to dissolve the TSA and let the airports handle their own security.
I'm thinking the weenies that can't bear to know someone scanned their body parts, or can't handle a pat down were never in sports in high school cause they couldn't bear to take a shower with the other guys and be seen naked. Good God people we all have the same equipment! Get a grip you're not in Cub Scouts anymore! I also would think it would be harder to touch some other guy's "junk" than have mine touched. How'd you like to do that every day if you're straight? Yuck!
Hey take your pick. Blown apart at 30,000 feet at 70 below zero or a body scan. Personally I find the scan a lot less intimidating.
If you can't be checked for contraband don't get on my GD airplane. Take a car, bus, or train!
He accepted the regulations and left. Which ones did he continue to break?
Yeah, and they'll keep upping the ante until they have to do cavity searches on each passenger.
I hate to break it to the pro-molestation side, but the body scanners and genital touching won't save your life. If I recall correctly, there aren't hordes of armed guards and metal detectors at the front doors--only when you're getting near the checkpoints. What stops a few terrorists from stashing body armor and AR15's in a duffel back, going to the restroom, then coming out as Rambo? How many people could you shoot in a crowded airport with a 90 round drum magazine? With a little training, you could easily take down the out-gunned security guards--maybe even escape if you plan well. Even Infinity Ward thought of it!
Really??? I thought you said they "overreacted".
Which is it ??
There are those who have gone through it who seem to disagree.
You will also remember, 9/11 wasn't done with wmds or automatic weapons either.
Boo Radley said:Yet we invaded Iraq.
Boo Radley said:And let's please stop the silliness. No one is pro molestation. Just anti hysteria.

And those who agree. More agree with me than disagree by the polls I've heard. But that is irrelevent. Facts are facts. No one was molested or fondled.
You've seen polls of people who have gone through it? Point to these. G'head. :lamo
You have a habit of freely declaring "fact" when there is none. I'll declare mine: when Democrats do it, Boo Radley thinks it's fine. When Republicans do it, Boo Radley thinks it's a crime against humanity.
What I appose, across the board, regardless of party, is hyperbolic exaggeration.
I've seen polls of people. However, how many do you think have gone through it? How many are complaining?
And I wasn't aware this was a partisan issue. Are democrats doing or TSA? Is there a republican TSA and democat TSA?

You didn't read one iota of this thread before you posted that tripe, did you?I'm thinking the weenies that can't bear to know someone scanned their body parts, or can't handle a pat down were never in sports in high school cause they couldn't bear to take a shower with the other guys and be seen naked.

...yet you're the person perpetuating the hysteria, not the people opposed to the violations of privacy. Tell me, do you support the Patriot Act too?
I see the rationale. Nothing bad ever happens at home or work. It's always on those darn airplanes. :roll:No I don't, because it isn't the same thing. The partriot act gives too much power to people doing nothing more than being at home or going to work. People at the airport are getting on a plane were something did go wrong, have had a problem, and people have tried to smuggle something on to. A real difference.
Enough. :roll: By this reasoning, if few complain about random searches of homes in any given neighborhood, then it's OK.
Was it the Republicans or the FBI/NSA doing warrantless wiretaps? I didn't know there was a Republican FBI or NSA.
Yeah. You've never engaged in that, ever.
I see the rationale. Nothing bad ever happens at home or work. It's always on those darn airplanes. :roll:
No, that would not be my reasoning. Only pointing out that just because a few complain, that also doesn't mean it is wrong.
Would it be right or less right either way? It was wrong then and is wrong now. Agian, not a partisan thing.
Certainly try not to. Yourself?

So I either let some TSA flunky grope my preschooler or let one ogle her naked, or just simply deny her the opportunity to see half of her family until the good folks in D.C. pull their heads out of their asses?
How about if I stand up for my right to not be treated like a convicted felon without having had the benefit of due process just because the government is afraid? Is that okay with you?
To characterize TSA pat-downs as fondling is hyperbole-and-a-half. First, the odds of your daughter being patted down are slim to none on any particular flight. Second, these pat downs are not done by pedophiles, for heaven's sake. Third, however you characterize this to your daughter is egzakly how she's going to react. "Standard procedure"? "Groping and Fondling"? Which is it?
Yes! Of course you have the right to protest this invasive procedure. What you don't have is a right to fly.
This discussion has, as usual, taken off into the wild blue yonder.
