Priests have gone to jail for doing what that TSA screener did to that boy.

[Cousin Eddie]

(and rightly so, for the record). Any priest that removed even some of a boy's clothes and touched his private parts would be hauled up before a court in 2 seconds. Same for a teacher.

These pat downs are lunacy. Anyone who really wants to smuggle junk on board will stick the stuff in a body cavity or in the one quart bag.

[Steamburg]

No the priest would just be moved to another location and told to be more careful next time.

But, at TSA he would get a commendation, Union Protection, and a nice pension at our expense.
Be careful, TSA is only a step away from bringing back the rest of the inquisition. Try a little blasphemy on a TSA agent and see who gets burned at the stake...

Well...RE: “punish them for voting GOP”...I guess we’ll see just how lobotomized the left is....because there are a lot of lefties flying also

Here is one DU post——

My favorite quote from this whole horror story is from the tsa agent: “You need to adjust your attitude and do as you are told” Well heil hitler to you too honey.

Follow the money...

This is much more about money than it is about security.

The former Secretary of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff, represents Rapiscan, the company which is selling these scanners to his former department.

Far too many federal contracts are sweetheart, insider deals.

Companies hire former high ranking federal officials, and then magically, those companies get hugely profitable federal contracts.

the tsa agent: “You need to adjust your attitude and do as you are told”

If someone told me that, after putting me through that scenario, I would fly at them and scratch their eyes out- jail or fine be damned.

You do not even have to use a body cavity. Simply take a 3 ounce bottle of Ebola virus or Anthrax on the plane and release it. While it will not cause the plane to crash, within a few days you will have an epidemic going across the nation.

And don't get me to talking about cruises.

Deepak Chopra, Chairman and CEO of OSI Systems which owns Rapiscan traveled with Obama to India. It’s not just Chertoff.

Yes I know that was just an example Chopra also donated to Obama.

There’s more ways to make money off this besides the machines for example..

Way to deminish the abuse priests have inflicted on children. Pathetic
