Wasn’t it legal, not too long ago, to carry a firearm onto a flight? If so, how many “incidents” were reported?

In the article on “Congress cuts body scanners” – it says that the 500 machines caught 200 prohibited items in the last year – well, that is 0.4 / machine or around $ 300,000 per item to catch “prohibited items”. Yes – for $ 300,000, the machine can catch a tube of toothpaste, a nail file, a book of matches, or a 4 ounch tub of yogurt – oh boy!!!

Replace all the TSA employees with Hooter’s waitresses & Chippendale’s dancers & just let passengers take their pick according to their proclivities. Granted, I could see how this might slow down air traffic even more, but I’ll bet would be having terrorists confess left & right. Just a thought.

"All-aboard! Last train for Auschwitz departing on Platform 666 - no TSA pat-downs necessary!" JSINSATX...YOU ARE CORRECT. However, TEXAS and TEXICANS may be that 20% who will actually stand and deliver an ultimatum to these unimaginative bureaucrats who, i.e. not able to apply intelligent,effective methods like the Israelis use, rely on the GROPE-A-DOPE method...a thrill a minute routine.

I predict that this will come to a head when one of the minor deities of one of the minority consciousness movements is fondled in the presence of his or her worshipers.

Remember that the nook-you-lar terrorist Jose Padilla was captured on the BATTLEFIELD known as O’ Hare Airport. Granny’s breasts, Suzie’s teddy bear, or Pauli’s yogurt – what does it matter to an American public who applauds assassination and waterboarding? How dare that guy operate his camera in a security zone? Sure, the TSA has never caught a real terrorist and has wasted over $ 2 Billion on shoe fondling alone but the American Sheeple go along because they prefer the illusion of safety to liberty.

I’m glad that I have a non-stop flight to the Pacific north west this summer (my first “voluntary” flying in 4 years) – no sense risking too many airports.

As for the rightists in the so-called Tea Party – maybe 20% give a hoot for civil liberties and the others applaud people like Michelle Malkin who write books justifying sending 110,000 Americans to “concentration camps” (FDR’s own terminology) for no substantive reason and (far worse) keeping them incarcerated for years.

Rule of law! – Bill of Rights! – fuggedaboudit!

One needs to remember this is a licensed hunting ground for TSA. Deer that don’t want to be hunted, know to stay away. Just like I don’t go into a store or mall that has the pistol with a circle and crossed out line on it. She and her son did the next right thing, the right thing would be to take the bus.

I do not know why one would expect any intervention or sympathy from those passing by. Humans have a strong tendency to be passive unless somehow a whole mob gets going and then they tend to conform to the mob.

The people walking by simply want to get on about there day and do not view someone else’s situation as cause to be either inconvenienced or hassled.

Say, JP you’ve given me an idea here. Registered sex offenders have a hard time getting work once they get out of prison, this could be the perfect gig for them! Seriously though, I refuse and will continue to refuse to fly until this nonsense stops. I have no reason for international travel and as far as having a family emergency or something that would require traveling to another state in a short period of time, I have an LS1 trans am and a radar detector for that.

It reminds me of a few “pedo priest” cases I have read of where the priest would ask his victim “how DARE you refuse GOd’s love!”. Only these people don’t represent the Catholic God, but the modern god that is the state. “How DARE you refuse the love of the state!”.
