Clearly we have differing standards.
I choose not to fly commercial due to ample evidence of prior violations.
Again, until more refuse to fly, nothing will change and, sadly, your experience is pathetic evidence of the fact that even reading of such violations are insufficient to prompt action. Human nature may very well be this country’s downfall.
I’m not going to continue to beat a dead horse: You made a choice and despite knowledge that it could happen, you’re now outraged that it happened to you.
I challenge you to take your newfound outrage and do more than writing anonymously about a decision for which only you were responsible.
I did not write “anonymously” about this incident (which I also sent to the White House), and I am not “responsible” for being sexually assaulted by the TSA. The TSA is responsible for doing that. Just because I’ve read for years about the many abuses by the TSA doesn’t mean I, or ANY OTHER innocent airline passenger, “asked for this” simply for choosing to fly.
Many, many people have chosen not to fly because of the TSA, and this has already cost the airline industry a great deal in lost profits, but it’s not enough to cause the central government to rein in the TSA.
Because of people’s work schedule and other reasons, it’s not normally practical to drive the very long distance we flew. And that’s also a sign that we’ve lost our liberties—that our only option to avoid despotic sexual groping is to drive. B.S. on that!
