Constitutional Amendment IV - Airport Screening

Based upon past travel experiences with screeners, we plan on setting them up for a photo op. No, not like the whacko this week.

We will have a copy of Amendment IV of the United States Constitution with us. I will pass security first, and after I've had my 150 lb torso wanded, patted, and poked; Karen will be ready to walk through the magnetrometer tunnel. Concurrently, from a far distance, I will have a digital single frame camera ready to capture the screener's "groping" opportunities of my wife.

Rhetorical question: Can American citizens take pictures of their wives in public places... including airports? If some illegal SOB gropes my wife's boobs, it will be digitally captured and I will spread it like wildfire all over the internet. The first contact will be Ridge, Minetta second, and W third.

I thought that I'd get post this question here since there has been so much controversy with the dopey Minetta/Ridge ineffective bozos supporting their moronic commercial aircraft travel security procedures.

Any thoughts, comments, criticisms, from my fellow FReeper friends?

We're NOT looking for trouble, just trying to make a point about RESPONSIBILITY in the commercial airline travel industry.

Just have the wife sceam at the top of her lungs she's being sexually assaulted if she gets touched in a manner she doesn't like - that will create enough of a scene, should bring out a cop, and tell the cop you want to press charges. If you do this, I hope you're at the airport at least 12 hours before your flight - you'll need the extra time...

Amendment IV does not say you have to fly. Apply the Nancy Reagan drug pronouncement and just say no when asked to fly. Ridge and Mineta have no clue when it comes to security. Include Bush on his statements concerning profiling.

When you have to include toddlers, grandmothers, and blode-haired babes in your screening process so that you can prove you are not profiling Mideastern male terrorist look-alikes, the inmates are running the asylum and it is not pretty.

. If you do this, I hope you're at the airport at least 12 hours before your flight - you'll need the extra time...

I have this covered. Our appointments are not until 11 March. In addressing the "harassment scenario", I'm prepared to change our flight schedules and pay $100.00 x 2.

On the bottom of our pre-printed form of the Fourth Amenedent document, I have prepared a pre-printed census form for the FBI agent to complete. His/her name, date, time, place, purpose, findings, cause, comments, etc.

I'll sit there naked with handcuffs until they can explain why a 52 year old blading 150 lb. WASP has been selected to be profiled, or my wife (not balding and not a guy) has been selected to be profiled and fondled.

If you hear about some "nut case" in EWR or CLT, it's probably me.

FYI, I've been travelling for over 20 years as a business analyst... 27 states and 13 countries; I know the drill, pack very light, don't carry anything metallic or electronic through the magnetrometer. Foil from gum wrappers have set these alarms off! Karen says I should disrobe, put on a shop coat, and walk barefoot through security. I told her to do the same, permitting easier groping for Tom Ridge's new cast of thousands of Feds.

Here's an idea to be able to prove inappropriate touching...get some powder that's invisable in normal light, but lights up under UV light, and 'dust' places that should not be touched; then, all you need to do is break out a UV light, and the screener's hands should glow if they've been places they shouldn't; and prints should be visable where the touching occured - ie less powder visable under UV light.
