I have a buddy that is a TSA checker agent. I don't know of a person more gentle than him. He is NOT out to make anyone's life miserable, he just wants to do his job and go home. They have to check ever so often a person, they have to be impartial.

My advice to women not wanting to possible face this screening is not to fly. I don't care for this scanning either, but the first time another bomber gets through you know who is getting their arse chewed out.

I think if she didn't want screened, she should of been allowed to just leave.

Would like to hear the other side of the story.

Maybe it's time for all the decent TSA agents to refuse to be part of the molestation program. I'm sure most didn't sign up for this when they took the job. Maybe it's time for a strike and a few days off work if nobody will listen to them. These decent people are being desensitized to the atrocious behavior they are being required to do. It could turn a decent person into someone they themselves don't even recognize because they get so used to treating people like objects to be probed and prodded.

The Nazis were great at turning average everyday citizens into sadistic killers through desensitization techniques. I'm not saying that's where this is going. Just that mild brainwashing and Hegelian methods go a long way in furthering fascistic thinking and poisoning the minds of those involved.

Maybe your friend needs to find a new line of work.

ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? What’s next? If they did the job they had to in order to really protect us this wouldn’t be necessary. You’re saying if I don’t want to be molested I shouldn’t fly? REALLY? REALLY?

What is the top airport target in the world? Ben Gurion Airport in Israel. When the Israelis adopt x-ray naked body scanners I’ll admit they are necessary. But I don’t expect that to happen in my lifetime, because unlike the US TSA, Israeli security is highly competent.

so women we just can't fly anywhere anymore?....that, and not walk down the street at night will keep us safe?...

BS on that....YOU may do what you please, why can't I?....why do I face untold humiliation by wanting to travel somewhere, with my money paying for it?

For some reason I equate this to the standard Nuremberg defense - I only did what I was told. I am observing a lot of that lately, NO ONE will stand up to the stupid rules because will cost them their job.
