   The new profiling rule is “everyone who is not a politician”. For fear of violating the rights of Muslims, we take away everyone’s civil rights. Bizarro world.

   Besides, who would want to grope Hillary anyway? Only on a dare.

   I like Ann Coulter’s argument for ending these TSA assaults. There has no reduction in the number of airplanes blown up by nuns, elderly people and five-year-old children since they started this program. Waste of money.

   But then the Grand Dame of State, Government moochers of high rank, the talking heads of TV land and such seldom if ever fly commercial so they really haven’t a clue do they? My hip sets off that metal detector time and again. They tell it won’t and then it does it again. It has happened to others, I would imagine thousands, and TSA’s response? No it doesn’t.

   Do we have a smiley face for really irritated? Can you recommend a really good bail bondsmen?

   Asked in the closing moments of an interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation” if she would submit to “one of these pat-downs” that has caused a national outcry among travelers, Clinton replied, “Not if I could avoid it.”

   My uncles’ cousins’ aunts’ father’s friend has it on good authority that registered sex offenders like Roman Polanski and Barney Frank are standing in line to apply for positions with the TSA.
   You read it on the internet, so it’s gotta be true.

   Hillary don’t have to worry, these indignations are reserved for the great unwashed populace. It just wouldn’t do for the ruling class to be groped and fondled in the name of national security.

   On a personal level:
   I am a disabled veteran. I have two artificial knees. I set off the metal detectors every time and have to go through the pat-down procedure each and every occurrence. And the additional downside: I fly every week for my job.

   So I have to endure this nightmare because this country has become to panty-waisted to go after the real problem. I am supposed to tell myself I am doing my part for the country each time my testicles are forced up into my pancreas.

   Then again, failing to chase, corner, and bag the hate-spewing mullahs around the world, we would have to start profiling. With the current administration, all U.S. veterans would be first on that list.

    Politcal Correctness is slowly killing this country. The enemies of this country have found our achilles heel and its we would rather have ourselves humiliated instead of being told we are offending someone. We can have our women and children subjected to lewd acts, but protecting our borders and profiling criminals is considered offensive?

    Liberal thinking (insanity) is killing and offending innocent people. Let’s stop it NOW.

    if you happen to be wearing a hijab, you may be allowed to request to pat down yourself.

    So, profiling people wearing hijabs to single them out for extra security checks is wrong. But profiling the same people so you can single them out for less intrusive security checks isn’t wrong. What am I missing?

    I doubt any TSA rep would volunteer for that pat down at any price. It would probably take a military EOD specialist.

    So, who cares what the Secretary of State thinks about TSA pat downs? She has managed to “comment” on this several times during this news cycle. Answer: She has started campaigning and her friends in the media are lending a hand. Watch for her to resign within 6 months to start her campaign in earnest. The Clintons are sneaky; Her answer could not be called an out-and-out attack on her boss but she still connects with angry travelers. Well played, Hill-dog, well played.

    So the TSA ( T*ts-stomach-ass gropers) have reached a new level of stupidity. Now there is a legitimate job for perverts. Their entire premise seems to be to look for the person least likely to be a terrorist and focus all their energy on that person to prove that they are not profiling. This is proof positive that the federal gov can muck up anything and do it in the most stupid way while defending the policy to the hilt. In the mean time, the terrorists have moved on to exploding packages. How about the TSA groping those instead.

    the government is a total screw up, including the way they stick their grubby, incompetent fingers in our military.

    Congress over the years have made themselves to be elitist, snobs of royalty. I say halt their wages, reduce their bennies, they pay for everything just as the citizen. they are suppose to be serving the country, not stealing from it.

    Will TSA assume responsibility if there is another attack? Wasn’t the TSA in charge when Reid, Christmas bomber and others attacked?

    Instead of blaming them and dismantling them, they get more power. We are STILL taking off our shoes because THEY missed Reid. If they swallow explosives, are all non-terrorists supposed to go through a body cavity search?

    Terrorists have won when they see this. I used to go to the airport just to watch people and planes. It was romantic because you could go anywhere and everyone had a unique story about a trip.

    I read something somewhere saying ‘not all travelers are terrorists’. This is where we are now. The 9/11 hijackers were ‘travelers’, not Muslim extremists.

    We aren’t allowed to talk about this stuff and it doesn’t make us more safe. Our Federal government is intent on intruding into everyone’s lives as much as possible wherever possible and tell everyone it is for their own good.

    Alvin Greene is gearing up for a presidential run in ’12! And it gets better. He’s mad at the Democretin so he’s running GOP! The quintessential RINO! (Repub In Nuttyness Only)

    and certainly, bankrupting the airlines fewer people will want to use, making a government bailout “needed” and thus, becoming government owned. Also, if fewer people travel and stay closer to home they may drive more causing gas prices to rise, when factoring in new environmental regs especially designed to drive up fuel cost, use public transportation, if available or people just stay home and don’t travel at all. Then, it becomes easier for a totalitarian minded government to control the masses, that is, if you are a conspiracy theorist.

    CAIR may say that only the head and neck get patted down, but TSA’s own rules say otherwise.

    TSA Religious and Cultural Needs

    Our general security considerations for religious or cultural needs allow you multiple options. If you do not want to go through the metal detector you may request a personal search (pat-down inspection) as an alternative. You may also ask the Security Officer for a private area for this personal search and will be provided a Security Officer of the same gender. If you refuse appropriate screening you will not be allowed to pass the security checkpoint and you will be unable to board your plane.

    If you are directed by the security officer to proceed to additional screening, then you will undergo a combination of hand-wand screening and/or pat-down inspections that could include any portion of the body and head area that requires further examination.

    So are they following their own rules or CAIR’s?

    It does not take a conspiracy theory to recognize all government workers, including politicians most of all, are naturally inclined to be totalitarian minded both by the nature of their jobs and their choice to seek that kind of employment.

    It just takes some basic common sense about human nature.

    The infuriating part is that none of the elite politicians ever have to worry about getting screened at an airport. Not Obama, not Hillary, not Janet Napolitano. They don’t give a rip because it doesn’t affect them directly. Let’s see how the president would feel if his daughters had to fly commercial. The TSA lies about not frisking kids, then we get the link on the Drudge Report where someone got a video of a kid being strip-searched and manhandled by a security goon. The horror stories are mounting: women and men humiliated and treated like dirt because TSA policy allows, no, demands it. This has gone way too far, but just wait until the government enacts all aspects of Obamacare. This is just the beginning.

    Greene…is currently facing misdemeanor and felony pornography charges, after he allegedly approached a University of South Carolina student in the school’s computer lab, showed her lewd photos online and suggested going to her dorm room in November 2009.
