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.

THEY
ARE
NOT
NECESSARY!
Not even sufficient.
“Obama Calls Airport Pat-Downs Frustrating But Necessary”
Just in time for the holiday travel season. Wow.
Dogs couldn’t detect the toner bombs. But anyone with a clue would know to watch out for anything coming from Yemen.
Hey, ossama bin obama, why don’t you just check out and go get your 72 virgins?

Only problem is, the Kenyan is a queer and wouldn’t know what to do. Good grief, just watch this loser throw a baseball (in those gay mom jeans), and riding lady’s bike.
Seriously, even wonder why Palin drives him so crazy? Easy, she’s a female, and Barry more easily identifies with females, and therefore sees her as a bigger threat than a man.
I still cannot believe this queer got voted into office.
He’s such a loser!
And therein lies the exact problem. TSA should be inconveniencing the 0.000001% of fliers who want to destroy Western Civilization, not "all of us." Simple profiling based on known history, country of origin, religion and behavior would do a much better job. But the government is PW'd by CAIR and ACLU. We won't have sane society and freedom until we restore grown-ups to government who will stand up to these organizations.
“Then why wait 10 months...”
Exactly.
Besides, the Underwear Bomber did not board the plane in the US...he boarded in Europe.
His father tried to alert the US but was ignored.
It’s either about control or CYA.
Hang on now - be careful how you describe our president.
He’s also Indonesian :)
My same thoughts. This is Zer0 acting out being a sore loser.
The justice dept bungles the terrorist trial in NY, perhaps
intentionally, and groping will make us safer.
Phony!
I think this might be one of those things where people finally say enough to this PC crap.
"What is seen can't be unseen" aside, that's a good idea. Not only would she fry the scanner, she'd be selected for enhanced security because of the huge suspicious lumps in her backside. Who know's what she's really packing. Maybe it's more than the Queen's 20 meals a day.
I note that the BRITISH press had to go to PORTUGAL in order to gain an audience with the president of....the USA.
“Hang on now - be careful how you describe our president.
He’s also Indonesian :)”
LMAO and a world class fool.
” Obama cited the attempted airplane attack by the so-called underwear bomber last Christmas...”
How would he know?
He was MIA for at least three hours during the national security threat,
which has never been explained nor investigated by the lazy , knee pad media.
” White House spokesman Bill Burton said Friday that Obama, on vacation in Hawaii,
was informed of the incident
about three hours after the plane landed.”

The New York Times had a hilarious excuse for the Commander in Chief’s absence.
“ Mr. Obama was singing Christmas carols with his family
at their secluded Hawaiian beachfront getaway
on Friday when a military aide
interrupted with news of an attempted terrorist attack aboard an American airliner,
an aide said. “

And Barry was so concerned about the national security threat-that he went to the gym.
“President Barack Obama left his vacation compound in Kailua
twice on Christmas Day....
It was still dark when the president’s motorcade left his Kailua Beach vacation complex about 6:40 a.m. Friday.
The president and his wife headed for the Semper Fit Gym at the Kaneohe Marine Base .....”

Barry was so concerned about the national security threat that he golfed almost every day and had one important event on his schedule.
“White House said the president is not scheduled for any public events during his stay in Hawaii, there’s one event he definitely will attend —
the Obamas’ annual family talent show ...”

The Kenyan is profiling white people in revenge for alleged black profiling.
Yeah...necessary for we of the SERF class, not for the DC ruling elite, right Hussein?
Fixed it for you.
You're welcome.
They should be giving the grope to the First Muslim before he gets on Air Force One - every time. Maybe then he’d shut his ignorant yap.
Ooohhhh, he SYMPATHIZES with us! In that case, it’s no problem.
