The Tough $hit America agency is worried about verbal abuse? There really are no words to describe the TSA stupidity.

““Instead of making this Wednesday National Opt-Out Day in which a bunch of self-appointed guardians of liberty slow down the line for everyone by asking for pat-downs,” said Baker, “maybe what we need is a day when everyone who goes through the line says, ‘Thanks for what you do.’ ”

Another lib propaganda. How about the feelings of the passengers who just got molested, or even the 10 year old kid who took his shirt off yesterday at Drudge?

” the TSA body scan/search controversy that now rages in America,”

I think the TSA BS is a diversion to get us to not pay attention to everything else that’s going on. As I said on an earlier thread;

“If they have us asking the wrong questions, they don’t have to worry about the answers.” A “Pynchonism.”

It’s a smokescreen to keep us busy while other cr@p slips under the radar!

What the union can do is oppose this insane policy.

I don’t blame the employees, because they are just doing what they are told to do. They didn’t think up the policy.

But the union should come to their aid and say this policy is crazy, useless and unamerican.

4th Amendment. Unlawful search and seizure.

I weep for our brave and unappreciated government workers. Perhaps if they were to pass the unhappiness upwards...?

Incredible idiocy. What muslim moron would bother going through all this crap just to blow up an airplane???? Hell, just strap some explosives on yourself and take out 1,000 people at O’Hare waiting on the TSA Nazi line! It’s crazy. I know muslims are blood thirty killers but sheeesh! They can’t be stupid enough to wait in line for hours just to have their prostates fingered to get on a flight to Milwaukee???! Hell, just jump out of a car, run into the terminal and kill a thousand! Am I missing something here? No way these muslim mutants are ever going to commandeer a jet again. They know they’d be killed by the passengers! But blowing up a couple hundred when you could easily kill a couple thousand infidels at JFK doesn’t make any sense.

I smell a setup in this entire TSA situation. Can’t put my finger on it, but these draconian procedures, and the subsequent public outcry is no accident. Then maybe Oracle or GE will step up with their “solution”, be it biometrics, detailed flyer databases etc. Create problem... institute solution. Maybe Willie Green will get his wish and we’ll all sit in railcars to get some milk.

TSA thugs exist for only ONE reason. Muslims. Get it? You’re railing at the symptom. Start railing at the disease.

Perhaps the TSA could partner with NAMBLA for some tips.

(slapping hand) Bad fingers. Bad, bad fingers.

Completely unintentional pun - I tsassure you.
