Since the new TSA touchy-feely rules are now in effect and the blog topic of the week I thought I’d share a riveting and revealing story that is quickly going viral. This gentleman’s blog post on his fun at the airport has received over 5,000 comments and his calm but brave stand against fairly invasive airport security procedures has made him a Robin Hood for a great many Americans who are just fed up with it all. Pay special attention to the multitude of threats he received and the statements about him ‘giving up his rights’ that pepper the account. Kind of makes you wonder what they would do if entire flights just refused to participate in technological strip-searches and government groping exercises. Collective action often forces changes in policy. It would just take the American flying public to show some courage and outrage.
You can sense we are on the brink of that happening, we’ll just have to see if it does. Especially as we enter the busiest time of the year for airplane travel, we’ll be watching to see if any other ‘incidents’ of this type comes to the public’s attention. We’ve already seen the boycott of the airlines beginning to become a national movement.

“Don’t touch my junk” is the new “Don’t tase me, bro!”
And you are going to be smart and pay the $300, right? Seriously, not worth messing around with.
I curse President Clinton for creating that terrible Department!
Actually it was GWB in 2003.
You knew that, right?
What a scrod up tax system, that can’t even do what a credit card does with an overpayment (you get a credit on your account). This never happens with overwithholding (hick savings account).
Too bad it became a political football (what of the gummit doesn’t?)
Then when the liberals take control it's like giving
a seventeen year old boy the keys to the Porsche, a bottle
of Jack Daniels and letting him ask your teen age
daughter to go along for the ride.
“yea, the travel time is longer”
6 hours to fly across the country vs. 3 days by train. I guess that qualifies as “longer”, indeed.
U. S. T. S. A. to U. S. Citizens...
“All your junk are belong to us!”
Sorry. Comrade Bush brought us the TSA nightmare.
Where is Green Willie? I haven’t seen his train posts in a while...
“Sorry. Comrade Bush brought us the TSA nightmare.”
It’s the seige mentality because of the inability, or unwillingness, of the government to get the terrorists where they live.
We’ve been fighting the WOT in a PC manner, rather than to win. Bush broke his promise - “you are either with us, or you are with the terrorists. If you are with the terrorists, you will share their fate.”
But, then, he learned promise breaking from dear old dad.
It certainly doesn’t reach the level of
“give me liberty or give me death”,
but it means pretty much the same thing...
I think Willie got banned.
oh, did he get wiped away when pitbull Chet did? LOL They filled the loony and obsessed, but mostly harmless section in my mind.
I know this. Just pointing out via humor that the GOP can shred the constitution just as bad as any Dem. I bet you wouldn’t see anyone complaining had they started the grope checks in 2002.
Certainly does to me. Actually this is unacceptable to me, but when it comes to my wife, it goes beyond that. I’m am not going to stand by and watch her groped by some husky broad with a beard.
