The airport nazis touch the public’s privates. The public resists. The nazis threaten to detain those who resist.

This is not the United States of America that I once knew.

Most of what is getting ready to happen is beyond our control even with the US House behind us.

They are too close to stop now.

As I posted earlier, I don’t have the finances for a rental. Driving is my choice. I’m limited in every way possible...flying is the only option.

Skype rocks! What a marvelous invention. Video and voice at any time and no cost. It really provides a great sense you’re in the same room with the person even if that person is 1,000 miles away.

Passive resistence - DON’T FLY.

That won't solve the problem.

***********

Yes, it will. Capitalism works!

The airlines will not stand idly by and watch their businesses implode simply because the gummint chooses to ignore the Fourth Amendment.

You can bet that Delta and Southwest, et al, know EXACTLY what this is doing to their customer satisfaction and they can't be very happy with it! In fact, I'm surprised at how quiet the airlines have been about this whole groping fiasco.

(Anybody got numbers on air travel over the past three months?)

Don't blame the folks at the airport for doing their job.

They didn't create the TSA; most of them are just trying to pay their bills.

From the article:

But Barbera said that if a person is judged to be a possible threat, deputies are legally permitted to detain and search that individual. "The deputies will do it at the airport just as they would do it anywhere else," she said.

I may be wrong, but the TSA methods being reported in the press sound like a contraband search of a felon in prison (less the body cavity search - for now); I have never heard of or seen a search upon arrest being as intrusive as that.

Unfortunately, airports are private property, airplanes are private property. You want to go onto someone’s private property to use their private conveyance, if they want to strip search you and give you a cavity search, they can. You agree to it when you buy the ticket.

Solution — when you go to the doctor and say “It hurts when I do this” the doctor will say “Then don’t do that!”. Therefore — don’t fly.
