I was returning home after a 16 hour flight from Hong Kong and in a pretty foul mood. I think the agent understood my non-verbal communication that if you touch my “junk” I WILL slug you in the mouth so he didn’t do it. I did walk away calling him a “f***ing a**h****” so I’m probably lucky I didn’t end up in jail and on the news any way.

And BTW, this was after going through U.S. Immigration and having an agent literally throw the passports at me and my wife for reasons known only to him as we never said a word. Funny thing is that this was the only airport in all of journeys through Asia where were treated in an even slightly discourteous manner.

So other security should be left to the airlines. But other than Ron Paul (and perhaps Gary Johnson), do you see either Obama or the “mainsrtream” Republicans wanting to free us from the intrusion and molestation?? NO – they want to INCREASE the power to turn us all into slaves of the security state.

Unfortunately, I have to fly in January – I’ll just leave a lot of time and try not to lose my temper.
