TSA, under its new policy, must screen airline passengers using whole-body imaging systems. But passengers who feel that the scans are too intrusive are permitted to go through a metal detector or receiving a pat-down, which some have said comes too close to groping.

WAIT A MINUTE !!! Am I reading this correctly ?? Not sure if it was Biden who said it or the supposed reporter (ha ha).

You have the OPTION if you don't want the radiation naked scanner or the total sexual abuse patdown, to instead GO THROUGH THE METAL DETECTOR ??

I thought if you refused both the naked scanner or the feel up that you didn't get the option of going through the metal detector --- that's what Tyner was told. He was told he could not fly (and then threatened with a $10K fine).

Who to believe ??? Nah, I just won't fly 'cuz the government never tells us the truth anyway.

I prefer dogs to TSA goons.

Nope, nope, can't use dogs. They offend Muslims because they are "unclean". Funny, I've never seen a dog wipe his ass with his paw. Muzzies, OTOH........

Why should the VAST majority suffer for the special needs of a select minority? It has been a huge drain. My opinion? Let them stay home. Let America be free again. We never had these problems until they came along on 9/11.

And no, there is no such thing as a moderate muslim. They all knowingly subscribe to alms, knowing that it goes to global jihad.

And in regards to the radiation scanner... the government is telling us that the radiation levels are safe --- why ?? 'cuz the FDA (another government agency says so).

Now, I don't know about you, but anything that the FDA says is no reassurance to me. How many of you have seen the same tv ads that I have.. The ones where the lawyers come on and say, "if you have taken such and such a drug and had a something happen to you, to call us".

Well these are the same drugs that the FDA has approved and called SAFE

SAFE for what I'd like to know. Now don't get me wrong, I understand that many drugs have side affects, but when it gets to the lawyers getting involved with this lawsuits, generally it is because of a wide-spread issue.

So much for the FDA seal of approval !!!

All I'm saying here, is I do not trust the FDA's opinion of anything anymore. And if they are saying that the FDA says it's safe ?? Well, we should be laughing our a$$3$ off at that guarantee.

“Furthermore, if the scanners are so safe an unobtrustive as they claim, he should also go through one of those every morning “

He can’t. The scanners make the metal plates in his head vibrate! Besides, Gaffemaster B likes the pat downs.

Sadly this is so true. Dogs are cleaner than Muslims, safr, better company, more human(e) and thoughtful.

Since 9/11???
Plus or minus one thousand four hundred years.

Islam has proved itself time and again to be incompatible with any other society.
Any society, no matter how decent, how fair, how willing to give concessions and allow them their way, any society no matter how much respect they give to Islam.

If it is not ultimately and primarily Islamic, the followers of their hateful god will rip it to shreds.
No one is immune. Not preachers, not women, not children. No one.

Ultimately, we have to come to some sort of logical conclusion about what the current circumstances are. We have to face the facts. It is not like we are a bunch of aborigines (with apologies to them) who have no access to media and history and political science theory.

Islam wants everyone in the world to be Islam. I don’t give a damn if you are a good Catholic. Or a good LDS member. Or a Baptist, or a Lutheran, or a Jew.

Islam will convert you or kill you. Those are your options.

Has this idiot heard of the Forth Amendment? Also these procedures violate many state laws regarding fondling, etc.

Good. Then there will be more sheep turning into goats and the fascists will start arresting the goats. Americans don’t like to be ruled by fascists.

"Well look, Larry, maybe because I spend so much time every morning dealing with the threat assessment

Oh, my! That sure makes me feel a lot safer.

Obama is much too busy to bother with threat assessment, so he has delegated the brilliant and highly competent Joe Biden to take charge of it.

Feeling better, now that Joe is watching out for you and your loved ones?

If a government teacher (or any teacher for that matter) gives a student a hug for doing great on a test or to console a child who lost a family member; that would constitute inappropriate touching.

Ever get the feeling that the purpose of the scanners is to make people want the offensive "new technology" that is already waiting in the wings?

Bingo. What'll it be - national "pre-screened" ID?

Or implanted RFID chip?

This whole thing stinks of a set-up.

I share your opinion.

Also, the UN? The majority of the “UN” is OIC. These are the guys who want to redistribute the wealth from the wealthy nations.... crusader nations who have evolved with democracy rights, freedoms, technologies, economies and politics.

They call us fortunate and other names... but the bottom line is perhaps their memberships should deliver economic goods and opportunity of their own by following the crusader principles, the things that made them successful.

Clearly Islam has failed them and they want to find a way, typically mohamedan to raid the wealth,,errrrr redistrubute it under a “socialist”masked perspective.

What the UN needs to do is promote democracy and business to the disabled islamics.

Maybe some Christianity! lol

Someone needs to ask Obama if he would allow his wife and daughter to be subjected to a TSA groping.

His answer, either way, would end his political career, just as surely as the Dukakis’ wife rape and murder ended his.

White House reporters - who has the guts to ask this question?
