Breaking: Former Gov. Ventura Will No Longer Fly Due to Abuse He’s Endured at Hands of TSA

Current TV ^ | November 19, 2010

Jesse Ventura, announced he will no longer use commercial airlines due to the egregious abuses of the TSA and the government.

Ventura said he made the decision to avoid public aircraft after he found himself becoming too comfortable with being routinely searched. He said he was subjected to pat down and search three or four times a week when he traveled for his television show. Ventura had hip surgery and the metal in his body invariably sets off airport metal detectors.

Jesse said he will no longer be forced by the TSA to prove he is not a criminal or terrorist. He refuses to be considered guilty until proven innocent by the government in violation of the Fourth Amendment. He also admitted the decision not to fly may put an end to his career.

This leaves more seats for Women in Burkas....

If I remember my history correctly, they did decide to boycott the buses.

The Montgomery Bus Boycott is famous. Dr Martin Luther King arrived and told everyone the only way to fight was to boycott the buses. People were arrested for arranging car pools, waiting for rides, etc.

It’s famous. It was non-violent on the part of the boycotters.

It’s probably an excellent idea.

Too bad we don’t have a conservative with the stature of Dr King to get it kicked off.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Maybe I’ll just call in to Mike’s show, and ask him when he’s gonna have “Mr. Blue” on again. “Ya know Mike, Jesse Ventura?”

[SERKIT]

Not flying is the best way to handle problems with TSA procedures.
Would you have given Rosa Parks the same advice?

Rosa would have to sit next to the Republicans....in the back!

[CajunConservative]

Actually, no it’s not. We need more people to stand up and say no.

[KingLudd]

Yup. I coulda kicked his butt back in the day, and I’m sure I can do it today. He’s nothing but a fat punk.

[Toddsterpatriot]

Hooters needs to think outside the box and start its own airline.

[Paperdoll]

Good for Jesse! He has guts ass well as a metal hip! Go, Jesse!

[Dick Bachert]

Hey,Jesse, here's a scanner image of a real criminal. Instead of paying for crippling the airline industry and conditioning Americans to more and more indignities and abuse at the hands of her minions, she'll wind up with a fat pension paid by the same taxpayers she's humiliating and, more importantly for our freedoms, PISSING OFF!

[reefdiver]

Anyone see the Govs show CONSPIRACY THEORY: on the JFK shooting? Who does it implicate?

[CFIIIMEIATP737]

Hooters did start their own airline several years ago. It has gone out of business or it just does charter now, not sure which.

[Carley]

Hah, he’s running his mouth about President Bush planning 9/11.

He’s got as much brainpower as Rosie O’Donuts. Steel doesn’t melt type of brains.

[CajunConservative]

I know he’s a conspiracy nut but the fact is this TSA crap is something that most people right, left and way out there looney all agree on that it’s wrong and infringes on our rights per the 4th amendment.

“Strap this on your sore ass, Blain.”

[GlockThe Vote]

How utterly absurd to bother people like jesse. This whole thing is a complete sham.

[Cyman]

You would think Governor Boa would love to have his junk tickled. You know Minnesotans are a good reasonable people but how they voted for this hipster doofus is beyond me.
