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!
I did not write “anonymously” (phones being what they are) but your reaction was expected. We at FR do not have the ability to edit posts.
I chose a job which would not require traveling. Our boy has chosen to isolate himself in another state; he can come here.
My choices are to reinforce and defend my remaining rights. I choose not to be assaulted or violated.
You made choices and obviously you do not have my sympathy for your reaction to an inevitable outcome given all the evidence. Commercial flight is not a “liberty” fyi; you could have chosen to charter a flight. THAT is a liberty.
Rather than waste your time here, take your righteous indignation to the next level. A “letter” is grossly-insufficient, if history is any guideline (16 years of this “BS” as you write).
Or don’t. Again, your choice.
