President Obama is engaging in a relentless assault on our freedoms and constitutional government. The growing backlash against the new
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) airport screening procedures signifies that Americans finally may have had enough.
There is a grass-roots revolt against state-sanctioned sexual harassment. And who can blame the protesters? Children are stripped of their shirts, and their private parts are touched. Nuns and old ladies are groped by intrusive TSA agents. Breasts have been fondled. Men's crotches have been patted down. Full-body scanners show images of people naked - a clear violation of privacy and civil liberties.
The administration insists that the enhanced procedures are vital for national security. The rationale: Last year's underwear bomber nearly blew up a plane flying over Detroit. Hence, everyone's private parts are now the property of the federal government - at least when flying.
This is wrong and dangerous. Airport screening procedures have been a huge experiment in mass political correctness. For fear of insulting Muslims, the U.S. government has insisted that all Americans take off their shoes, pull out their belts and walk through metal detectors at airports. Americans have patiently put up with these inconveniences. But now, for many, enough is enough. "Don't touch my junk" has become a national rallying cry.
The central problem with modern airport security is that it falsely assumes that every person - each of the 7 billion people who inhabit the planet-is an equal terrorist threat. The 80-year-old Irish Catholic nun, the 3-year-old toddler, the 61-year-old bladder cancer survivor whose urine bag was punctured by TSA apparatchiks - all of them, according to Mr. Obama, are potential suicide bombers. They're not. To pretend they are is to engage in leftist multicultural fantasy....

I would dare say that the intelligence about the underwear bomber was ignored. Deliberately. A clear warning was given regarding that person. This Regime wants another attack as a further excuse for its plans.
“This administration is dumber than a hammer.”

Perhaps you may be if you think this is all done out of stupidity. If someone offered to cure you of toenail fungus by cutting your feet off would you think they were too stupid to practice medicine or would you realize they mean to deliberately destroy you?
I’m just peeved by the disproportionate response.
I’m sure state troopers would rather be pulling over rush-hour speeders than breaking down the door of a crack den.
So the bureaucrats would rather go after the soft target (the average American at an airport) than do the dirty work of ferreting out and killing the Islamofascist vermin that infest the planet.
WTH?
Tell that to the 200 million dead from just the last century.
“I do not understand the logic of saying that we should
take high risks of passengers smuggling on bombs which can
kill us because the system failed to detect a human in the
wheel well who might have been a bomb instead.”
Simply put,
While granny was having her nakedness reveled and
sexually assaulted someone snuck into the wheel well
on a flight to Boston.
That just proves that anyone could access the plane in
spite of granny's misfortune.
Where the is a will there is a way.
And no matter how many Americans are assaulted your not safe.
We could have just stuck with the metal detectors.
“It is a pejorative invented in the mid 1800’s and made popular by Marx in Das Kaptal.”
Thanks. The origin of the word “capitalism” needs to be pointed out ocassionally.
The proper phrase is “free enterprise.” It’s attached to other phrases like “private property” and “individual freedom.”
We need to dump the dull Marxist phrases inflicted on us by the traitors in the media and universities.
"We need to dump the dull Marxist phrases inflicted on us

Bravo!
Well put.
I wonder how many are Christians ???
To allow the sexual assaults and porno screens is against Biblical principals...
As Christians we are to be modest, virtuous, flee the very appearance of evil..
There is nothing decent or righteous about letting a stranger touch you on your genitalia...
It goes against all reason and is an affront to God an disobedience to His Word to claim to be a Christian and then line up willing to be groped for the sole purpose of satisfying a PC agenda and not necessarily a creditable safety measure...
Our trust should be in God not the hands of a low income pervert...
Nobody will die in an airplane due to terrorists if I dont get sexually assaulted...
Sacrificing my honor and virtue and allowing myself to be criminally assaulted wont make it rain, wont satisfy the gods and wont stop Islamic terorists from doing their next and latest trick while we are still worrying about last years...
Didnt this fella get aboard the plane with no passport? I think an American official even helped him board.
I believe with all my heart that Barack the evil one wants to incite civil unrest. He wants another uncival war on American soil.He even "warned" us his trbute to Abe during the inaguration. All the globalists do. Its the only way for them to make every knee bow to government or should I just say Satan.
INDEED.
What percentage of FREEPERS do you guess are aware of such facts about the globalists?
It is one of several unconnected dots -- the State Department failed to determine that Christmas bombing suspect Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab had a U.S. visa until after he nearly set off explosives on a U.S.-bound airplane.
State Department officials told CNN on Thursday that a series of errors caused AbdulMutallab to avoid classification as a terrorist, which would have have placed him on a no-fly list and caused his multiple entry visa to be revoked. One of those errors was the inability of the State Department -- which issues visas -- to initially determine whether AbdulMutallab had one.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The bottom line- it was a failure of the system at the highest level, and regular people pay the price.
That half breed needs to know that some of us Vets only bend our knee for Christ. Anyone who insists otherwise will receive their own private meeting with Him courtesy of the former serviceman.
OMG that's funny. TSA was created by President Bush. We knew what a useless pile of rubbish it was well before he was out of office. The basic problem is, that both parties believe we are chattel.
Mr. Tesla: (getting up and leaving the living room), "don't worry honey I will take care of it."
Mrs. Tesla: (Mr. Tesla reentering the living room) "did you make us safe dear?"
Mr. Tesla: "Yes dear, you left the back door unlocked so I unlocked the front door, flung it open, and left it open."
Mrs. Tesla: "That's good dear, thank you."
We are on the road. But a full fledge tyranny has not happened; it restricts movement, & brutalizes/kills dissenters.
We still have access to information, we are still able to protest, speak ‘relatively’ freely and still have freedom of movement.
Mark Levin calls this a ‘soft’ tyranny.
I’m sure they’ll have a post about it tomorrow. Or the day after. Twice within a 5 or 6 hour span.
You’re right. They will continue to erode our freedoms as long as the sheep allow it.
To say that this administration is dumber than a hammer though, is to diminish what they are doing (imo). They are executing their plan quite successfully and it is a plan. They know exactly what they are doing; while some American people seem to want to argue about the intent or choose to deny that all of this is intentional.
I locked all the doors now I need to give your wife a cavity search to make sure she is not stealing anything.
Right after I give that new driver from Saudi Ariba the keys to the house, that is.
Stupid is as stupid does.
-Forrest Gump- AMERICANS are not TERRORISTS.
In order to be aware you must believe that Satan is behind all the evil in high places that are getting ready to do battle against The Lord Jesus Christ when He returns.
That Barack is evil and that Satan pays special attention to him.
That Islam is Satans “religion”.
That globalism will bring death & destruction on a scale thats never been seen before.
That the federal gov.con has the spirit of the Antichrist.
etc, etc
Maybe 20%
Whats your guess?
This administration is pretending grope inspections and full body scans are for the protection of America by the flying American public. It makes me wonder if groping Americans who fly why hasn’t this administration put more guards and military along our borders, where illegal immigrants, which include gagsters and terrorists are coming in by the hundreds? It has nothing to do with protecting America, it’s all about Americans allowing the administration to cow American freedoms which leads to arrests by those unwilling to be groped and scanned. Later it will be another situation where the Americans are willing to be cowed again from some made up incident, caused by a muslim terrorist.
