I'm with Mick on this one, people are so effin' sexually repressed that they would rather risk their lives than have someone see a radiograph of their pee pees.

IT's indubitable that no-one wants to be terrorized. But people don't like being bullied, either.

As I watch the darkness that seems to be sweeping the land of my birth, I despair more each day.

Folks, until I retired a few years ago, I was flying six legs a week. I often scanned the faces of those around me. There are families on these flights. Dads and Moms trying to get home. Folks conducting business. What is being done, is being done to keep folks safe. It isn't about your sexually repressed fear that someone is looking at your nakedness. These body scans are NOT the result of some imagined threat. Have you not been paying attention to what has been taking place around the world? The terrorist factions have been sending any number of test cases out to probe for weaknesses in the security. Do you want us to first lose several hundred men, women and children before we react? Then you would blame the government for not anticipating. Were you not paying attention to the shoe and underwear bombers? They made for funny comedy bits on late night telly, but the fact is that they were real attempts to see if that would work. Now the latest, with the bombs discovered in the air cargo jet, is that these same organizations are probing to see if cargo is the way to go. Do you not get that these jets are high value targets? The TSA is a convenient target. It's a government agency, so that means you can hurl gratuitous attacks at them, and everyone, on cue, goes "yeah, they can't do anything right".

The day after we lose a couple hundred folks in a bombing, I can't wait to hear you all chime in about how we should do more to protect our jets from terrorist attacks. The rules the TSA instituted are fair, and have been vetted. Napolitano says they are subject to reasonable changes, but the first priority is safe flight. Those of you that are so worked up that someone is a room is looking at you need to get over yourselves. Do you not understand that this isn't a bunch of beer drinking goons having a party looking at your genitals. Doing this stuff hours at a time for hundreds of folks will pretty much take any titillation out of it. They can't see your face, they aren't taping you for sex videos.

Get over yourselves.

Mick

All the TSA needs to do to calm public ire over this issue is hire really good looking employees and give passengers a choice as to which one they want to be felt up by. I don't particularly wanna have my package groped by an ugly middle-aged man, but if they had a clerk who looked like Sandra Bullock I'd gladly endure it.

I thought the airport x-rays weren't supposed to be that revealing. If they are I object. I've been the subject too many secret photos by panting women (and a few men) to have them displayed in locker rooms all around the world. Even a buff and studly guy like me wants to get paid for being a pin-up.

Ever notice that it's not TSA or the Sky Marshals who stop these fools, but the passengers?

safer?
All of us?
TSA has NEVER prevented any terrorist act.

Captain Sullenberger was on CNN today speaking out against this nonsense for flight crews and passengers alike.

I have a hard time thinking that any TSA agent is going to enjoy groping me! I got over modesty a long time ago, bring it on, I say.

The 4th amendment says ...UNREASONABLE search and seizure. What is unreasonable about making all of us a bit safer? They will not be seizing anything! Maybe I should rephrase that...

All the folks who loved the patriot act are now really upset by their 4th ammendment rights being abused by TSA airport guards who are groping everyone's genitals unless people opt for ionizing Xrays that show full body nakedness for all at TSA to see. Be you left leaning, right leaning or forward leaning this new policy of groping kids and granmothers alike is going way too far to supposedly catch an other undewear bomber.


This policy is not well thought through from the basic health adversities to deep seated psychological issues that will upset most people.

TSA has historicly stopped or caught exactly 0 terrorists.

Suppose a person has ruptured sperm ducts and the 8 dollar an hour TSA gurad squeezes tesitcles? An infection? A cyst? A Boil? What if a gay person insists upon a female to grope his genitals, but he is not gay but just wants Sally too touch his junk. Suppose your 12 year old daughter slaps the guard who is rubbing her vagina region? Will she be detained or arrested?

What kind of new employees is TSA going to attract? Pedophiles, pedergasts, junk groping crotch sniffing perverts?

The young man who said "touch my junk and I'll have you arrested" is being charged with obstructing a police procedure and faces a $10,000 fine for walking away.

A pilot was suspended for refuseing the X ray. Every knows that flying at altitude already exposes people more radiation and that female flight crew have a 1,200 percent increase of miscarriages compared to people who never fly.


Shoe bombs, donkey bombs, underwear bombs, teeth bombs, rectal bombs, shampoo bombs, toothpaste bombs, balm bombs...

Its all a Bullshit response that by the time you are about to board a plane - is already too late.

400 peple will be killed by lighting for every one airplane terrorists.



Did you know that all the first class mail under 1 lob each in the belly of a passenger plane ALWAYS goes unscanned?

ALl the checked luggaage in the belly of the plane has all the banned shampoos or baby formulas that could just as easily be an explosive set to go off by cell phone.

Hey I'm not a prude but most of the time a TSA ass hole will target the person arbitarily based on somthing about the person that pisses him off. In his hands the X ray is a tool of humilliation to him in every sense of the word.

WHen you are simply asked HOW ARE YOU and you say anything except fine, you are profiled for more scanning. IF you say you have a headache,,, you are getting W rayed - no question about it.



This holiday there will be protestors and people who will hold up the line as long as possible in protest.

There may even be people who wear a full Depends intentionally.

Until America grows up and stops being terrorized by every new armpit bomb or tooth pick bomb scare, I'm looking to avoid airlines and the new crotch groping line.

OK some of you will enjoy it, maybe most of you after a few drinks but I see more anxiety and spontaneous "incidents" of non compliance that may become more explosive than a band aid bomb.
