Bend Over America - "Alien Probe" To Take On A Whole New Connotation

Bending America Over

December 27, 2009 by thetimchannel

The changes being made to keep us safe on airplanes now that the latest crazy Muslim has taken a swipe at us:

Passengers getting off flights from overseas reported being told that they couldn’t get out of their seat for the last hour of their flight. Air Canada also said that during the last hour passengers won’t be allowed access to carry-on baggage or to have any items on their laps.

Whether or not this method of added security is a good thing will no doubt be hotly debated over the coming weeks. From my perspective we’re just inches away from requiring complete strip searches before boarding an airline. I still look pretty good in my Hanes, so I don’t really care.

On the other hand, it’s only a matter of time before some enterprising young terrorist decides to jam their favorite homemade incendiary up their ass, at which point, “alien probe” will take on a whole new connotation.

Enjoy.

1. Yep.

Soon, they will require a strip search, make us all wear diapers (since we won't be able to use the lavs for the entire flight, since a terrorst will go in there 100 minutes before arrival), and heck, why not a black hood and orange jumpsuit while they are at it?

You know, instead of putting bomb-sniffing dogs at the airport and such.

5. Example of passenger safety extremes

2. Soon no one will fly...unless they must!

Expenses to fly will increase until only the very rich will be able to fly anyway in their private jets. It is the middle income folk who will deal with the increase in security checks to the absurd..and the increase in the cost of an airline tickets. People will just quit flying on commercial airlines...which in the end..will be the death of the airlines.

6. We have taken one flight since

9/11 not that I was ever a frequent flier. I have reached the point that if I cannot drive I just will not go. Being an aid patient I get sick from my meds I guess I would have to either puke or have diarrhea on myself since this bullshit.

3. Building a high-speed rail system would create a lot of jobs.

7. I mentioned driving in my response

We wanted to use the acela, it was way over the price of the flight and coming back there were not enough connections that we would have had to overnight in NYC or DC..and since we didn't have a need to overnight somewhere and pay the ungodly high prices we just took a plane instead. The trip was costing enough as it was and we are not well off hell we aren't even middle class income anymore. Thanks rpigs and sell out dimicrats.

8. My family can't afford to fly. Or drive on long trips

Hell! We barely make it three quarters of the way through the month.

9. I hear you this was the only vacation time we have had in 14 yrs

together and really either one of us actually ever had. We went to Vt to get married only to be stuck over a legal matter that we thought had been resolved, since a gay couple cannot marry as residents in NC.

We only got to go for 3 days at that.

10. Our country is absolutely pathetic.

Instead medicare for all people twist themselves up like pretzels to justify a massive bailout to the health ins. industry and this type of system is exactly what we give up for the privilege of paying for profit pigs for nothing.


We are permanently in reverse.
