It just baffles me that we've been seeing all these reports being made by people concerning TSA over the past 8 years, yet our government does nothing to change the stupidity going on... Oh wait, I take that back considering I'm sure most government officials get to bypass this crap when they fly anywhere so of course it's not a priority to them.
Eventually, America needs to take back their country. Government is meant to be ambassadors to the country, not overlords. The more civil liberties and rights we allow ourselves to have stripped away, the more we will see things like this go on.
"When he arrived, he discovered that the TSA's website was out of date, and the naked scanners were in place. He opted out of showing his penis to the government, so they told him he'd have to submit to an intimate testicle fondling."
9/11 was a good trick, but it has no chance of working again for several generations because it took advantage of the public’s assumptions about how a hijacking should go, assumptions that were shattered on 9/11.
The next group of nuts that jumps up and tries to take over an airline is going to have their brains bashed in by a mob wielding laptops and laptop batteries as blunt trauma weapons. People no longer believe that the most likely ending to a hijacking is an unscheduled trip to whogivesaf**kastan, they assume they will be crashed into a building if they don't do something.
Airport Security is only there to make the people on the planes feel safer.
Want to take out a plane? Use a shoulder fire rocket.
Want to strike true terror into the hearts of people? Attack them somewhere they still feel safe.
I believe the fine is for leaving the "secured area". However, from the story, he was told to leave the area by TSA. Then threatened when he did. BTW, that's how the TSA and Homeland Security works. Oh, and local law enforcement as well gets in on this action.
Airport security is an illusion. Don't want to be x-rayed or receive a pat down? Go to any of a handful of smaller airports without the technology, and fly into a major airport from there.
Want to dodge past a mandatory secondary screening? Forge a boarding pass to get you through the checkpoint, and use the real one to board the plane. It's a little more complicated than that, but any idiot with a hole punch and a highlighter can figure out what to do to make it work.
I disagree. 'Airport security,' which has not caught one terrorist to date, is there to gradually condition people to government intrusion into their lives. Also, to test the limits of what people will put up with before revolting.
There is nothing wrong with using metal detectors. I didn't complain about these devices when I had the option for metal detectors instead of the sexual assault pad down that they even do to children.
And sorry but most TSA personal are inept useless f**ks who can't get jobs elsewhere. And now they're trying to unionize which will only make things worse. When you f**k up at your job you should be fired.

FTA:
"When he arrived, he discovered that the TSA's website was out of date, and the naked scanners were in place. He opted out of showing his penis to the government, so they told him he'd have to submit to an intimate testicle fondling."
Is this from a high school newspaper?

"porno scanner and grope"
yeah that's what it is
batonryeNov 15, 2010Buried
Right, its all worth it because the TSA has caught so many terrorists using these methods.
vizinNov 15, 2010Buried
Threatened? He told a security guard (TSA officers aren't cops) he'd have him arrested if he was groped.

He should have accepted it as a free handjob. After f**king us in the ass for the last decade, the least they can do is give us a reach around.

Way to blame the Bush. Things have been greatly "enhanced" since Obama.

Is it molestation if I catch wood from it?
vizinNov 16, 2010Buried
Maybe they shouldn't be groping people.
talphinNov 15, 2010Buried
One might think it is a place where someone cannot be forced to either A: be molested, or B: pay $10,000. But one would be wrong!!! :D
