10. Yep, all of this shit is from the Bush Era to take away our |
|
rights and humanity and profit from process. Remember Marvin Bush and Securacom, etc. landing Homeland Security contracts after the Patriot Act. Marvin Bush is someone who needs to be pursued in the crimes of the Bush Era. His babysitter had a strange accident after 9/11: she was killed by driving over herself with her own car.

I wonder how many have tried suing the TSA .. we never heard much about that part of it. Then again you would have to have evidence on tape.

9. The problem is that it is all concentrated at skin level |
|
The assertion is that even a very low dose, when focused at skin level can be harmful, especially if done multiple times.

4. Trump (owns Miss USA pagn't) would have gotten more support with this than with the birth cert. |
|
I certainly would have more RESPECT for him had he chosen to hang his hat on THIS issue (and stood up for his Miss USA) than the ridiculous birth cert.

It's just unbelievable that people are being molested like this just to get on an airplane. And really sad that our reps in Congress are doing nothing to stop it. And even worse, the president we worked so hard to elect is in favor of these disgusting invasions of people's privacy and their right not to be harassed by the government.
It's all about money, nothing more. Chertoff thanks Obama for supporting these abuses.

6. Yes she is - and no wonder - it's sexual assault - plain and simple. |
|
And other victims have had to hide their tears, for fear of further victimization.

7. I have been through this since 2002. |
|
Why because before they made everyone go through that, they had the utterly racist version of 'randomly' picked--- which was definitely NOT random. I think people are making this a bigger issue than it is.

8. These naked scanners and 'enhanced patdowns' |
|
were not in airports in 2002. Civil Liberties groups, using the courts, managed to keep them out of our airports until last year. So I don't know how you could have been subjected to them back then.
The fight to keep them out of airports went on, and is still ongoing, for six years. It was successful until last year.
After the underwear bomber fiasco, Chertoff, Giuliani and Cheney, and the usual gang of fear and war profiteers were all over tv demanding they be allowed into airports, and the WH finally caved.
Many people were opting out of the naked scanners, so to force them to not do so, the 'enhanced patdowns' were introduced giving people a choice either of being seen naked by strangers, or being sexually assaulted by strangers. This is relatively new and has sparked several lawsuits so far but Congress needs to get involved as people's Constitutional rights are under attack.

12. Oh the "enhanced pat downs" were around. |
|
Maybe you were never "randomly picked" but the humiliation was disgusting especially when everyone on line was darker than yellow. This is not new.

11. "I'd rather go through this than be blown up by a bomb." |

That is what someone said to Miss USA when she complained about the scanning; I've heard similar things by others.
See how the thugs win. The orchestrate all of this shit then they give the choice of giving up your humanity or your life. This shit was planned to a T!
On edit: This is a very, very important topic IMO. It shows one individuals experience that is an example of what thousands are going through. :mad:
