This is no longer a “free country.” Anybody who says so is an idiot. It is now a police state, with the government forcing its wishes on the public through force.

Glad you think so. Just don't think it started with the current administration. It started with DHS...

I've had a sitting county judge admit that we are a police state. (From a county of 1.2 million)

In trying to find a positive, do tumors show up on the scan like an MRI? I need and MRI and certainly cannot afford one. This could be my new health plan. :)

This is proof that they aren’t interested in securing the plane, they are interested in controlling travelers.

If they were worried about bombs, they would have let him put his clothes back on and get on the plane.

I read the TSA blog [yes, they have a blog] and they say women in burkas and the like must be patted down.

I’m not sure I believe them.

Oh, and this strip down guy was arrested for filming his strip down on his iPhone!

CAIR is saying that the TSA targets women wearing hijabss for extra pat downs:

Wonder what would happen if everybody dressed up in a burka.

[elpadre]

they are consistent in that Muslims have their own Muslim-only prayer rooms in airports around the country.

The solution is simple - don’t fly. If a few bankrupt airlines...

That might work, but another freeper made the point of feds itching to take over the airlines next and bankrupt ones are easy targets, so I don't know what is right.

[Captain Peter Blood]

I totally agree with you, it’s all about control. It ceased to be about security and protection along time ago.

[TexasRepublic]

“so I don’t know what is right.”

I value my personal self-esteem above a fascist dictatorship. I refuse to submit to humiliation of my body and spirit to keep an airline solvent. If the government wants to nationalize the airlines and everything else, they will probably find a way. The largely ignorant populace may have to chafe under communism a while to learn what it is and develop a distaste for it.

“Wolanyk was arrested for refusing to complete the security process

we've been conditioned...ever think about pullin a u-turn out of a 'sobriety checkpoint' line to bypass the wait ??? or just fer sh!tz & giggles ???

[Gilbo_3]
