Heeding a sudden furor, John S. Pistole, administrator of the Transportation Security Administration, said in a Sunday afternoon statement to POLITICO that airport-screening procedures “will be adapted as conditions warrant,” in an effort to make them “as minimally invasive as possible, while still providing the security that the American people want and deserve.”

"Pistole’s statement to POLITICO modified his vow a few hour earlier on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the procedures were "not going to change." Both President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said over the weekend that the administration was continually looking for ways to refine the screening to make it less intrusive and frustrating."
Run ‘em out on a rail!!
Doctors are now warning pregnant women not to go through the scanners. I thought they were totally safe??????
Regardless of what that jerk says, this is about subjugation, not safety.
The American people expect to see The Imam, Moochelle, and the Clintoons get their junk checked at the DC airport and then have it shown on national TV. They deserve to be subjected to the same humiliation and outrage that the American people are! In fact, every member of this Congress and this Regime should be getting their junk checked at the DC airport! Then they can experience life as a member of the Country Class and not the Ruling Class.
Bunch of malcontents. They will rue the day that they did all of this, more lawsuits. soon some TSA agent will receive a foot in the groin. The tsa agent will be bent over in pain as some little old 80 year woman gives it to him. she believes she has nothing to lose and gives it everything she gots..
Personally, myself I have said enough of this BS. i will drive instead of flying. TSA backpedaling, no they realize that they are out of control and the legal system will squash them like a bug. Airports will go with private contractors and the TSA will go the way of the air traffic controllers - out of work
Does anyone notice how Odumbo strives to do things like Reagan did but in the opposite manner. remember the next step that happened in reagans life an assassination attempt.
Ofcourse it isn't safe. You are being exposed to radiation. That is why cancer survivors do not want to go through these machines and instead they get their breasts or genitals fondled by criminal perverts.
I've flown over 20 times since 9/11 and I can guarantee that not ONE TSA agent that I've dealt with has a high school diploma and I can also tell you that here in Chicago at O'Hare Airport Illegal Aliens are TSA screeners. You see it is a hate crime if you question a person's citizen status in the hiring process, so they have illegal alien perverts molesting AMERICANS!!!
This is what happened in 1933!!! WAKE UP AMERICA!!! Flood Congress, call them, jam the lines, call every congressman and Senator including all the commies infact I would just speed dial Pelosi over and over again. Make them enjoy this lame duck session as much as we are enjoying the new Gestapo that has taken over the airports!
You want to win this battle? Flood their phones, email, fax machines relentlessly.
Bring video cameras to the airports and record these thugs and post it on You Tube.
Write to your newspapers, blogs, facebook, twitter, whatever it takes to stop these bastards!!!
They are now confiscating cell phones so that they CAN’T be videotaped.
I wish that there was profiling of the people who are most likely to be a threat.
And, I wish that there were secret criteria used to evaulate people. For example, I’ve heard that buying a one way ticket, paying cash for a ticket, buying a ticket at the last minute, are all red flags. There may be other red flags too. I figure we shouldn’t publicize what some of these other red flags are, to keep the terrorists off balance.
If we do go to profiling based on ethnicity/country of origin, etc. the terrorists will adapt. They might recruit more native born Americans. But, whatever the case, there should be some secrets in our arsenal so the bad guys don’t know what’s coming.
When the liberals decided to punish Bush and publicize the details of waterboarding and other techniques, it gave the terrorists valuable information about what we do, and, what the limits of our interrogations were. The fact that they didn’t know what was coming was very valuable to us in those situations. And it could be very valuable with airport screenings too.
I hope that there are some secret evaluations going on now in airports. Secrecy and unpredictability can be valuable allies in any security measures.
He’s been flogged with the video if him saying “flying is not a right but a privilege”.
He is correct, it is not a right, but a contract between me and the airline. As such the TSA has no business inserting itself into a private contract.
If United Air Lines wanted to have me frisked as a condition of them transporting me, then that is between me and United. I can submit to the search, or find another carrier or mode.
This BS is about public acceptance of a police/terror state.
Your post is the first I’ve seen about pregnant women. They shouldn’t be forced to go through the scanners. But then would they have to be groped? Terrible choices for them.
I guess now that money has changed hands for the purchse of the X-Ray machines from that Soros-owned company the measure is irrelevant(?)
Why? Because none of Obama's top people (including Napolitano) have any management experience.
Under Bush, if an uncomfortable topic had to be introduced to the public he and his team knew how to do it. They took time to grease the skids because they CARED for people.
Obama's bunglers neither care nor have any clue how to put a procedure into place. They deserve EVERY LAST MISFORTUNE they are going to get with this story.
You need to be.
“He is correct, it is not a right, but a contract between me and the airline.”
Freedom of assembly is a right. Granting govt total control over travel is a mistake. Next they’ll require travel permits.
Next “evolution”: “Bend over and spread ‘em”
Travel by common carrier is a RIGHT. “Rosa Parks”, google it, dude.
