no room for conservatives to have a different opinion.

The opinion you posted was the antitheses of Conservatism.

Anyone tried this with my wife or kids and they'd need to surgically remove my foot from their ass.

Federal sexual assault as a condition for flying? Methinks someone has REALLY overstepped a boundary here and needs slapping down hard...

I figured in San Fran they would see air travel double and have to start charging for the service, especially for those requesting a happy ending.

Having a discussion on my FB page with some clueless libs. They are all ok with this sort of procedure but one bleated with outrage when someone mentioned the Israeli plrocedures as an option, “You mean you’re for profiling?!” Oh, the horror.... We live in a land of idiots.

If they found out we’re incapable then all bets are off as to what they will do next.

DHS and TSA are getting reamed for defending these practices. When the TSA head dude said we'll refrain from doing this to 12 years and under children, but continue to do this with 13 and older children, he made a huge mistake. He acknowledged there was something wrong with the whole procedure for children. Parents don't stop being their protectors at age 13.

You’re the one who needs perspective. There is absolutely no reason for the scanners or the pat downs. Israel does just fine without them. What we need is profiling and the training of agents in the Israeli style of profiling. Not one bomber has been caught since the TSA started their BS tyranny of the airports.

Our current fascist administration has no intention of changing the policy. See what happens when government gets too much power? Understand now why the founders of our once-great republic restricted the powers of government?

I saw Pistole say that TWICE yesterday in his testimony. I don’t think it’s true, though, is it? We’ve seen the videos of them groping the screaming three-year-olds.

Not only do I believe that was a lie, but he was very evasive with many of his answers. And arrogant — that seems to be a requirement for our “public servants” in high places these days.

Heard on local radio station yesterday:

Tickets are flagged for “inspection” by TSA at point of purchase. If when at the counter the ticket you purchased is “flagged” tell the ticket salesperson you want another one and they’ll exchange tickets. Still may get another flagged ticket, but might be worth the gamble.

Makes one wonder if that’s how some terrorists get through.

This is a terrible thing to say, but the TSA agents may get more than they bargained on if some guys go into it with their jets ready to fire.

Being given a pat-down is one thing, being groped and grabbed is quite another.

The muslim terrorists have won if we allow this to continue. We are searching for an object instead of looking for a likely suspect.

As I said in another thread, this is political correctness run amok. We should be profiling for muslim terrorists, not sexually assaulting our own citizens.

Yah, Kilmeade was smirking this morning saying “If you don’t like it, don’t fly. See how that works out for you” like only an idiot wouldn’t fly. What they’re all missing, because they’re all media stars and feel they have to jet all over the place, is that more and more of us DO say “No, I think not” and stay out of the airports. What is this doing to the airlines? OTOH, I think part of osama’s beef about Americans is our determination to fly, so if he can deter plane travel, he probably likes it. I hate to give him the satisfaction, but I’m not going through that meat grinder. Not if *I* can help it.

Lib troll. Wipe the drool off your chin. Your lack of brain stem function is showing.

And the fact of the matter is that there are parents who would use their kids for human shields and/or to pack full of explosives. But those parents are mostly within one particular culture.

We would find those people by profiling both their culture and their observed behavior, as well as doing intelligence research on them before they even tried to board a plane. Like Israeli security does. For us to do less than that is to mock the seriousness of the threat - regardless of how much groping and dehumanizing we do as a sham pretense of earnestness.
