Well, it was only a matter of time. But people are pushing back because … for the most part they don’t think this makes them safer. This is just one of the stories on the new TSA pat downs. Steve has posted on it here. But the push back from travelers, flight attendants and pilots continues. HS Secretary Janet Napolitano has asked for cooperation from travelers … but that’s easier said than done. Witness the push back from a San Diego traveler.

Let’s body scan all members of the administration, Congress, czars and their staffs. But first submit them to the genital grope. See how they like it.

Or are they all exempt?

Bump for later . . . I need to see this video, but I can't stream video here at work.

I predict that this will become one of those memorable quotes for the ages . . . along the lines of such other noteworthy quotes such as: "Don't tase me, bro!" With my apologies for my blatant use of this phrase without proper attribution, I have now made it my new tagline:

"If you touch my junk, I'm gonna have you arrested."

Freedom of Association includes the freedom FROM association, and should a commercial enterprise decide NOT to carry you, on their private property, then they have the right to refuse you service.

Not if you're a minority, a woman, a homosexual, or a muslim. That part of the Constitution applies only to white males. /s

This whole issue has nothing to do with whether or not you have the right to demand that a common carrier transport you or not (although, contrary to what you wrote, you generally have that right as well). This has to do with whether or not the federal government has the power to restrict you from getting the service that you and the common carrier agreed to. That power is nowhere in the constitution.

By the way, the fact that the common carrier has already accepted payment for the service, and that the traveler, in his or her capacity as a taxpayer, has already paid for whatever part of the air travel system is funded by government, are just gravy, and serve to point out that the government is not only restricting you from making a deal, but they are preventing unsuitably obsequious persons from getting the benefit of whatever deal the traveler already paid for.

How times have changed. What used to be referred to as “family jewels” is now called “junk”.

We are in agreement. It is government interfereance with a private contract that is the problem here. In fact, this is just a further errosion of the freedom of association due to government regulation. It has nothing to do with a “right” to travel on a commercial carrier.

This may be an ignorant question to some folks here, but when did the U.S. government get involved in screening airline passengers in the first place?

It would seem to me that the air carriers should be doing this themselves, perhaps under some kind of Federal oversight if it is deemed necessary as a legitimate function related to interstate commerce.

Prior to 9/11 the screening was subcontracted out. I believe TSA agents became federal employees as part of the Patriot Act. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong.

They allowed this brave man to leave the area and then they changed their mind and went after him and tried to force him to complete the scanning, since he had started it.

Actually, the boss man told the lackeys to escort him out.

To quote one US public law: “A citizen of the United States has a public right of transit through the navigable airspace.”

See 49 U.S.C. § 40103 : US Code - Section 40103: Sovereignty and use of airspace.

The Right of Travel is a long established common law right, one of the fundamental Natural Rights of Man.

Despite what any confused or uninformed media personality or blogger may say, your freedom to travel as an American citizen is a right, and in our time a right we must all re-assert boldly.

Michael Jackson is going, “If I knew the TSA was going to start doing this, I wouldn’t have taken all those drugs.”

I see. I’m talking about way back before 9/11 . . . back in the early days of air travel before there was any such thing as X-ray scanners, etc. Was that all done under Federal authority, or were those airline or airport employees manning the checkpoints?

Sounds like Moses with the Israelists and the Pharaoh. The Pharaoh said they could go, but then he changed his Royal Mind and sent his TSA agents after the Israelists and threatened them with arrest or civil suits if they dared cross that sea.

That would be the Aviation and Transportation Security Act of 2001.

Subcontracted to private companies by the airlines/airports, I believe.

One can only hope we are in the midst of a GROWING REBELLION AGAINST THE TSA!

I bet there are a lot of guys who, like me, could probably shrug off some TSA idiot putting his hand on our crotch. But I could not and won't shrug off that same TSA idiot touching my wife or teenage daughters or my elderly mother. That's what this fight is about.

Bump to the top and three cheers for this guy's resolve.
