So it is just another tax. But this makes no sense. Every terrorist will sign up for the program.

Don’t they have similar programs in Ecuador or Nigeria or something?

Except their programs are less corrupt.

Thank you presidenr hussein; the United States is now even more degenerate than the average Third World sh*t hole, thanks to you.

And thanks to all the venal and idiotic morons who voted for you.

TSA will protect us from terrorist unless terrorist willing pay $85. This whole thing is pointless at this point.

I enrolled in April, but the earliest I could schedule an in-person interview with TSA was August.

No, it’s not a tax. It’s the way things are going to be done in the future. You will purchase your rights from the government, if you can. If not, you will be a slave.

Call it an indulgence, perhaps.

So you pay the $85 and they still grope ya?!
WTH!?


We just sent a reminder request into a big airline, asking when they will have their long-promised program of avoiding the groping and xrays. Their staff and their website said they’re implementing it for their frequent flyer customers, which would include us. But we’ve heard nothing further about it. So, we asked.
Following is the exchange. It is apparent that further communications are hopeless and we won’t be flying for quite awhile longer.


1.
Hi nice Acme folks! Some time ago, your people said that
you’ll have a program enabling us to avoid the “groping” (security) exercise at
check-in. Could you please sign me up? We’d like to fly a lot more ....
Thank you!
Joe Cool, Loyal Member of your Frequent Flyer Club


2. The airline’s “answer:”

Thank you for your email to Acme Air Lines.

We would appreciate you providing additional information which will
allow us to process your request. Please provide us with the exact
nature of concern.

We appreciate your selection of Acme and will always welcome the
opportunity to be of service.

Sincerely,

Wile E. Agent
Online Customer Support Desk


Hopefully, their pilots are more intelligent than their customer support personnel....

“Every terrorist will sign up for the program.”.

Goes to show you my theory was right, the TSA is indeed “brain dead”.

That’s when their coffee break is over,

But seriously...didn’t this program take over a decade to launch?

You’re talking the GOES program right? It’s slightly different (but also allows for TSA Pre). There are supposedly going to be more interview locations for this.

So, it only costs $85 if you want to blow up an airplane?

This absolutely PROVES the whole ‘security’ system at airports is a complete scam. They don’t care one bit about security.

This is lunacy and extortion at the same time.

How stupid is the idea that the TSA is saving us from anything?

Is any terrorist dumb enough to actually go through a TSA line? Answer: HELL NO!

Think of the fact that probably 95% of all workers in the “secure area” of the flight-line ARE NOT SCREENED each time they come to work and leave work.

Worse yet, all that it takes is a “rag head” at the end of the runway (or the front of it) to simply fire a RPG or high powered rifle at a critical part of a jet taking off or landing to kill everyone on it as it crashes.

The ONLY REASON for the formation of the TSA is to train Americans to freely trade their freedoms for “safety” with the main reason to indoctrinate them into passing through check-points without question in preparation for absolute control by our government in the near future.

This doesn’t sound like a very good idea to me. For frequent flyers, OK, the airlines are very familiar with those people. But to just let anyone pay a fee and go through, what’s to stop some terrorist wannabe from doing that. I’m sure there are plenty of scum out there who have “clean” backgrounds. Of course they’d never make it so it’s not open to Muslims, would they?
