I call on everyone to stop flying until this simple demand is met: The screening is devoted to identifying terrorists rather than objects at our airports - do the profiling, bomb-sniffing dogs, background checking, whatever it takes. No one has a right to fly. It’s a business, and needs to get its act together before I’ll ever step on board again — 99.9999999999999999999% of us just want to go from here to there and not be harassed, prodded, patted, wanded, and demeaned into the sheep we are rapidly becoming. Dowd is right - if the authorities couldn’t stop the panty bomber, then there simply is no hope under the current system. We have got to stop cooperating and hit the airlines in the pocketbook, or nothing will change.
I haven’t flown since 2003 because of the BS. When airports start treating everyone as equal with this faux screening act, I may reconsider.
Travel within our nation is a fundamental liberty that shall not be infringed upon for our citizens. Non citizens need to be screened. Especially the ones who board out of country.
And double down on anyone Muslim.
