on a conservative forum I would think we could find analogies of defiance more suited to our shared ideology here...like this for example:
Just saying respectfully...you are in my sister state and all

I propose rule 308.
He didn’t ask for an exception; he asked to go through the scanner again instead of getting his johnson felt up by one of the TSA pedos. Wouldn’t you?
Ron Paul’s facebook page (never thought I’d go there) stated Rand refused a full body pat-down. I think there’s going to be a big stink and it’s going to stick to Zero.
TSA has blown it.
They haven’t caught one terrorist, yet they molest children, grandmothers and disabled veterans.
The TSA is Obama’s thug army, and they just stepped in a hornet’s nest.
Surrender our liberty?
Government using "underwear bomber" to take away our freedom.
I am surprised at those on FR who think that the “security theater” in airports has anything to do with security. The TSA was a Bush payoff to the Ds (more useless unionized government workers) in exchange for support for a wonderful new government bureaucracy, DHS.
TSA is ineffective, and that has been shown repeatedly. It is ineffective because it was intended to be a sinecure for union members and because it has always been run by people more concerned with “offending” Mohammedans” than keeping anyone safe.
You stop Mohammedan terrorists by: 1. profiling - The Israelis have done this effectively and relatively unobtrusively for decades, 2. arming pilots, 3. tightening immigration standards and reducing or eliminating the flow of immigrant Mohammedans, 4. deporting foreign Mohammedans whose visas have expired, 5. surveilling mosques, and 6. shutting down Mohammedan organizations such as CAIR that are linked to terrorist organizations.
You don’t make anyone secure by having low IQ union goons feeling up grandmothers and children in airports.
Good for Rand.
He is consistent in opposing big federal government tyranny, whether it be the unPatriot Act or other Big Brother legislation.
If this report about the TSA holding him is correct, I hope it turns into a major incident that will change how Janet Incompetano’s jackbooted thugs treat American citizens.
The TSA is an anomaly.
I should have copied you on 48 - responding to 32 (I think).
If the rest of the civilized world outside of their own TSA environment had knowledge of exactly who these people are, etc. they might think twice about ignoring our rights.....
Strip search every one of them. Make them wear orange jumps suits on the plane. Chain them to the seats. Wrap them in pigskin.
How many suicide bombers have we had who were not MUSLIMS????
Wonder if this was the same TSA “official” that I ran into at Nashville last fall? I was there to see my son-in-law off for the remainder of his deployment in Afghanistan and refused to enter the full body scanner. She repeatedly asked me if I was “opting out.” When I told her I was she used her radio to call for someone to pat me down. I waited for about 5 minutes for a very overweight guy to show up and then pat me down. To his credit he was professional and used the backs of his hands.
Then charge and imprison those 'molesters'. There is no excuse for that noise, you'll get no arguement from me there. However, bear in mind that the major airport hubs get tens of thousands of people going through security every single day. We hear stories like this a handful of times over a year. You are condemning the entire TSA based upon 0.0001% or less. By and large - most of them are people who are just trying to do their job, to the best of their ability - to earn a living.
Why should he get special treatment?

For a starter, we could target (profile) those groups who are doing the killing.
We could hire TSA directors, supervisors & agents who can think.
If a terrorist wants to kill Americans, why bother with airliners? Shopping malls, sports events, rock concerts, etc. are all so much easier to hit.
We need to go after the people, groups & institutions supporting & encouraging jihad.
“Don’t you know who I am” was Kerry’s answer to someone who questioned his going to the front of the line at a concert or some function in Boston several years ago. A newsperson who had covered him for years said this is SOP for Kerry—self important moron.
