MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura is suing the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration, saying full-body scans and pat-downs at airport checkpoints are violating his rights.

He doesn’t want anyone to confirm his steroid induced “shrunk-junk”??? :)

[Kirkwood]

I wish him luck.

[freedumb2003]

He’s nuts but he’s right.

[edpc]

He’s correct, but somehow I believe this is more of a stunt to draw attention to his terrible show.

[yldstrk]

Finally. Somebody with some chutzpah.

[ReverendJames]

Go AMTRAK.

[Paladin2]

It’s the only way for him to get on a screen these days.

Ahh, our former Governor Turnbuckle. I despise the publicity hound. He’s an idiot.

[bigbob]

And for his next act, I expect Jesse to team up with Dan Rather to find out what the frequency actually is...

[saganite]

Go Jesse! You da man!

[Terry Mross]

He’s nuts but he’s right. In Terry v. Ohio the courts ruled that no search can be done unless there is reasonable suspicion that a crime is being committed. Getting on an airplane is not a crime. I hope he wins.

Ya gotta admit, Jesse provides some entertainment in this nightmare.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

I think his show got pulled.
