Please do.........!!!!
I’m saving that on my hard drive too! It’s positively brilliant in summing up what the TSA has become. A couple of years ago another freeper posted that the head of Israeli security after observing the TSA said we don’t have a security system, we have a system for bothering people.
I quit flying in 2002. Used to fly 5 times a year. Last time I flew was Jun, 2002. If I can’t drive, I don’t go.
TSA needs to be dismantled and/or destroyed permanently. Treating people like criminals in lock down. Desensitization.
Haven’t flown since November 2001. As long as TSA is around I never will.
I've been tempted to play dumb and ask one..."since you don't have police powers, why do you wear a badge"?
Figure it’d happen by now, with TSA molesting crying little kids in front of dads.
Then the Liberal Messiah will tax us for not flying. The Chief Sellout said it would be fine.
Our PINO is taxing my last good nerve.
I make 14 trips a year, for work only, every one I am feeling more like a cow and less like a human.
The TSA ignore me for the most part, but the hassle is taking off my belt, my shoes, and getting scanned and patted every 5th time.
As a platinum flyer you get the royal treatment, I will never aquire enough miles on my short hops around the USA to be treated well.
This year we cut back our corporate trips, next year I scheduled less. I hope to eliminate all trips unless the TSA is removed.
A reminder that GW Bush gave us the TSA.
Bambi made it worse, but starting it was a mistake.
“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations ...”
Is that the one they had to stop early because students assigned to 'play guard' became sadistic? That was a mess. Much emotional violence in a very short time.
Police officers have massive training and testing to keep these types OUT - the kind who like to throw their weight around... Looks like the TSA - basically bank security guard types - and paranoid supervisors lack that wisdom...
I'm not sure the local police or the fed gov gun carriers are familiar with that research.
We just need less government. Period. I'll handle problems on this block, with the help of neighbors. I don't need outside assistance until tanks start rolling in. I don't expect Mexico to send in tanks.

You understand psychology - what happens when a person hurts another? Gives a seemingly deadly shock to an innocent? The one giving the shock justifies it. A decision is made the person deserved it. Or 'the man' in the white coat HAD the authority to make the request...bad things
If TSA agents are encouraged to bully citizens they'll start seeing citizens differently. It's a mess. And if this is intentional, potentially a horror.
I do know some folks that might be able to give some insight, though.

“Rape.....you might as well relax and enjoy it”
What a disgusting point to compare.
Ignorant.
Rape is a criminal act of violence. Not a joke. Not an act of pleasure.
Then why repeatedly subject yourself to and an complain yet do nothing about it?
What they are doing to ordinary innocent citizens is WRONG and yet people stand by and DO NOTHING!
It is ACTUALLY what the TSA is doing and no one lifts a finger to stop it.
The sad joke is that you express more outrage about my choice of words more than you do towards the people committing these acts day in and day out and yet you choose to call me ignorant.
Right, we surpassed 90% some time ago.
It’s not an uncommon tactic for government agents. Fortunately; you survived the encounter.
Not all do.
A polite Nazi SS officer is STILL a Nazi SS officer... they ALL need to go!
Yes they are. Agree.
