Breaking: Former Gov. Ventura Will No Longer Fly Due to Abuse He’s Endured at Hands of TSA
Current TV ^ | November 19, 2010

Posted on 11/20/2010 1:38:08 PM PST by george76

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.

Unfortunately,,, they have a 6 second delay, and they’ll probably press the button on me. Jesse is probably skirting his contractual requirements with this “Mr. Blue” anonymous cr@p.

I just enjoy his misery. Sorry, but I have no sympathy for him. He is so damned vile.

He may be but in this instance he is 100% right.

So you don’t see a pattern in Jesse, alfranken and dayton?

“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.”

Liberal elitists may not mind high taxes and debt but when they are hit under the belt, they feel it.

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

They did. It failed.

Just show up in a burkha and the TSA will leave you alone.

Could work. Sarah Palin’s “Letter from the Birmingham Jail” would be a good read.

While you wait to be screened, sing that song in a loud voice, "I don't want anybody else. When I think about you I touch myself."

I doubt that the TSA folks are getting as up close and personal as some of his rass’ln buddies did in the ring.

Guess it hasn't occured to the TSA that Osama and fellow terrorists could also rent planes or buy them and slam them into buildings, right? Yep, terrorists NEVER think outside the box - or box cutter...or whatever.

How utterly absurd to bother people like jesse.

A conspiracy loon, often adopting extreme antiAmerican viewpoints, and prone to public fits of pique and other bizarre and socially inappropriate behavior, is someone we should not profile?????????

Besides, if we went to an intelligence based profiling system instead of -- or to vastly reduce -- random screening, we all know Ventura would be the first to complain about that too.

“All that steroid abuse must have made the Gov a “little” self conscious.”

Maybe it’s just me, but he creeps me out (even though I admit I watch conspiracy theory). It could be that he has onset of Parkinson’s or maybe just a seething temper, but whenever I’ve seen him interviewed and he begins to get the least bit agitated or intense, his head/upper body shakes rapidly - ever notice? I know it sounds weird, but watch sometime, like on Larry King (ugh) or next chance you get and tell me what you think.

I realize he’s a former Seal (governor doesn’t count, that was an aberration IMHO) but I think he’s a loose cannon.

“Jesse can join John Madden on his bus.”

No kidding. Hopelessly Lib BoyFriend calls Glenn Beck a nutjob, but defends JV totally, calling him “right on”. HLBF cites his superior opinion from having top secret clearance during vietnam, personal acquaintance with the Carters - I expressed my condolences but he didn’t find that funny:-)), zone 4 experiences, witnessing war gaming, etc., etc., etc.
