Look for the new screening measures to be thrown under the Obama Trailways Bus by Tuesday.

“the balance between protecting travelers’ rights”

you mean the rights of young, cash-carrying Muslims with one-way tickets and no luggage

Many of those doing these jobs are Obama's constituency, so no surprise here.

Of course he does. How else does he bankrupt the airlines by pissing off the leisure traveler. That SOB has a plan for everybody.

If you ever want to know what side of an issue is the correct one to be on, just be on the opposite side of where the idiot in the white house is.

Great line!

Yeah, when the foreign occupier employed the phrase "fundamentally transforming America" two years ago, that's precisely what he meant. Zer0 has no intention of going quietly.

I don’t think I will ever fly again.
I am far more insulted and intimidated by our Government than I am afraid of terrorists.
This is most likely the first underhanded step to the Government takeover of the airline industry.

“Look for the new screening measures to be thrown under the Obama Trailways Bus by Tuesday. “

He has no choice. There’s no way he can support profiling or anything that expects TSA workers to use their brains.

The terrorists win either way.

I would like to know which airports, if any, are opting out of the scanners.

I was surprised by a pat down leaving San Diego early September. I was expecting the basic pat from the knee down, and the sides but I was not prepared for what I got. I was shocked and a bit angry as I rushed to my gate.
