The entire title is: Napolitano to American Travelers: We’ll Take Naked Pics of You and Touch Your ‘Junk,’ and You’ll Like It!

[Huskrrrr]

...while Muslim women get a pass. Hear that terrorists?

[thethirddegree]

We all need to call our Congressional reps on this.

At Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Napolitano reiterated points she made in a column published Monday in USA TODAY — that the imaging technology does not violate fliers’ privacy.

But, she said, “if there are adjustments we need to make to these procedures as we move forward, we have an open ear. We will listen.”

She added that “if people want to travel by some other means,” they have that right.

WHEN WILL WE SEE POSTED an image of Madam Secretary taken by one of her own agency scanners? Or a public display of her underging an enhanced grope search by her own employees? Since that doesn't violate anyone’s privacy or anything....

Note to janet no brains nap a tilino

I ain’t flying until this policy is stopped.

The proper response to this is for Americans to boycott the airlines until this BS ceases.

Unfortunately too many working Americans depend heavily on air transport and there isn’t an expeditious alternative. The only way a boycott would work would be for an awful lot of people to be willing to make a very large and costly personal sacrifice, and there are too many travelers who are unwilling or unable to do so.

Unfortunately, at least for now, TSA literally has the American public by their short and curlies, and there is little to be done about it for the next couple of years. One of the lingering consequences of losing the 2008 elections.

Sec Napolitano.... why is it reported you spend your late evenings looking thru these same TSA Security xray photos that people are complaining about?

Suspects. I'm always looking for suspects. I saw a few last night that will require a - a 'personal' interview.

Scanners didn't stop this from happening:

Raphael “Rafi” Ron, ex director of security of Ben Gurion airport pointed out on Fox a couple days ago that the profiling and questioning they use there would have caught this guy in a heartbeat. But he got by Hong Kong security because they use the same stupid non-profiling tools we use here in the US.

The simple fact of the matter is, if a traveler is a muslim, he/she is a much higher security risk than others. Plain and simple. Ignoring this simple fact of life is going to kill a lot of Americans.

[paul in cape]

Falls in with...”DON’T TASE ME, BRO!”

[O6ret]

Especially galling is the “professionalism” of the TSA personnel who are empowered to perform these intrusions. One moment they’re smokin’ and jokin’ and the next they’ve got their hands in your crotch.

[Jim Scott]

This could be the tipping point that finally wakes up the apathetic to the dangers to our freedom posed by the Obama administration. They are serious, dedicated and not stupid (well, mostly). They must be stopped - while we still can. If the new Republican-dominated congress won’t act and is subsumed by the ‘Good Old Boy’ Washington D.C. political network, we’re totally screwed....and my optimism is waning.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I think this is a dual plan. Force and citizens to submit to Big Bro......AND ruin the airline industry.

[csmusaret]

I really think Anita Hill’s former attorney should go on national TV and undergo both procedures on live Television.

I have a friend that is an agent for Homeland Security here in Memphis. His day is mainly spent looking up why the cute girls were arrested in the “Just Busted” convenience store flyer.

I asked him if he was trained in the groin grope and he said no, but that anyone that refuses should be put on the no fly list.

“The proper response to this is for Americans to boycott the airlines until this BS ceases.”

Actually, I think the proper response is to resist, document and post.

Only an overwhelming resistance from the public will change policies like this. Silence and avoidance will only encourage them.

The 3 year old in the video had it right. Kick and scream!

[Wooly]

Janet Napolitano is a retarted moron. I never understood how Arizona voters elected her as Gov.

[Recon Dad]

She should be fired immediately and since that's not going to happen it would behoove a few exhibitionists when confronted by TSA to drop their pants to make their job easier. Just tell them if I have to take off my shoes I figured it would be easier to fondle me if I took off my pants, have a ball AO.

[MayflowerMadam]

Laura Ingraham is hot on this one today.

[snowsislander]

That’s the Obama way: reward party hacks and left-wing allies without any regard whatsoever for whether they can actually do the job assigned. That’s how we end up where we are, with folks like Napolitano making a laughing stock of America abroad while abusing American citizens here at home — and then telling us it’s for our own good.

BTTT.

Elect a "Barack Hussein Obama", a man who is neither American by birth or by life experience, and you get what you voted for.

The Kenyan Clown and his circus are certainly not concerned about the peons of these United States and their petty humiliations.

As long as the Kenyan usurper and his crew of moochers are first at the trough, they are happy enough to see the rest of us treated however any government goon sees fit.

Byron York has a great article referenced on Drudge

Did you know that airports are NOT required to have TSA agents? They can privatize and opt out of the TSA Kabuki Dance ? Learned something new today.

Republican representative John Mica, one of the authors of the original TSA bill has urged the heads of 150 airports to opt out of the TSA system.
