President Obama said today he sympathizes with passenger complaints about aggressive body pat-downs at airports, but his counter-terrorism aides say they are necessary to guard against hidden explosives.
Balancing privacy and security is a “tough situation,” Obama told reporters at a news conference following the NATO summit in Lisbon, Portugal.
“One of the most frustrating aspects of this fight against terrorism is that it has created a whole security apparatus around us that causes a huge inconvenience for all of us,” Obama said.
Obama cited the attempted airplane attack by the so-called underwear bomber last Christmas as justification for aggressive security measures.

The reality is they know we cannot stop the new explosives, once they have obtained them, they will get through and we will see more bombs.. I fly twice a week and am really considering changing careers..

Aaaaaaaaayyyuuup!
Obama cited the attempted airplane attack by the so-called underwear bomber last Christmas as justification for aggressive security measures.
Then why wait 10 months to implement these new "security measures?" Answer: It's about control not security.
EXACTLY!
Hey, ossama bin obama, why don’t you just check out and go get your 72 virgins?
Der Fuehrer speaks.
I hope this maniac gets impeached and sent to Ft. Leavenworth for High Crimes and Misdemeanors.
This maniac hasn’t the SLIGHTEST idea how this country is governed. But then, WHY SHOULD HE??? He was raised a Muslim and comes from another Countyr.
In his mind, the State Speaks and the peasants listen.
Of course the Marxist Muslim from Kenya wants to see these searches continued. It’s not like he has to go through the searches himself and it’s a perfect demonstration of his continued hatred for the American people and everything for which our country stands.
I insist upon standing by that opinion until the policy changes.
One of my daughters-in-law was in the airline industry and quit several months ago. She soon found work in another industry.
Federal control of the airlines cannot be far behind given the new FCC "fair speech" directives. There's two more years to accomplish a lot more destruction to the Nation, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The dictatorship's reign of tyranny is nowhere near over.
No, it isn’t necessary.
Profiling is necessary.
Hire the el Al security head to be in charge, put the Jews in charge of protecting us, and we’ll be safe. Right now, having the Hamas-loving Hussein in charge is ridiculous.
Hey you I was in your hood today it rained like hell for a few minutes
Sure you worthless Marxist Kenyan buffoon,when was the last time White Americans blew up a plane?
Nope you are right, when soros acted angry over not moving His gaenda forward more quickly that was a diversion, they want us to think this is not a battle while they destroy us..
Keep us asleep..they are balls to the wall at war with us, and the whitehouse is the primary weapon, God help us, in Jesus name..
IT IS BECAUSE OF MUSLIMS...PERIOD!!!
"You people don't know what's good for you, even worse, you voted against me in November so I'll order my fascist lapdogs to humiliate you in public, it's for your own good.
the problem is we alllllll know he is a radical saul alinsky communist radical muslim. but the truth is suprressed and people shrug it off as conspriacy theories. the truth is told but not accepted
Here is a highly portable model that even comes with built-in locomotion! It also costs far less than $300,000 that the manufacturer charges for competing hardware. It requires no power cord and can operate continuously for hours. The maintenance procedures of this unit are quite simple, and the unit comes with built-in functions to remind you when it needs servicing. And to please the greens, this mechanism requires no rare materials to manufacture and is completely biodegradable.
It’s not frustrating. It’s offensive as hell and shows that the government considers all to be suspects. We’re now guilty until proven innocent.
