15. So now how does this girl know which adult perverts she's supposed to let touch her?
Are TSA agents socializing our kids to passively accept sexual abuse?

3. So............. .......... ......God forbid........ ............
Somebody uses a kid. Someone could have granny tied up or Dad or what ever and without the child knowing,...............................


Oh shit, I don't know.....WTF? I can imagine a nice non-terrorist type lady being forced to blow up a plane to SAVE her kid, but what could possibly be the train of logic that people would put bombs on their little kids?

7. I had to look away last week as they did a complete search of a man who was
wheelchair bound with what I suspect (from his speech) was cerebral palsy. I was ashamed for our country. We've come to this.

9. How much more will it take for folks to wake up?
Edited on Tue Apr-12-11 07:06 PM by KeepItReal
The pat down is only there to penalize folks for not wanting to be subjected to Chertoff's client's backscatter X-Ray.

The TSA will not even allow you to request a standard metal detector, even if one is in use at the security checkpoint.

(edited to correct the name to Chertoff)

10. Worse... I think the little girl was scanned prior to the pat-down.
You can hear the mother ask if the girl can be rescanned.

:puke:

12. Everybody has to be treated equally
Once TSA acknowledges that some people are less of a threat (meaning zero, like this 6 year old) than others the Rubicon will have been crossed and there will be no way for them to justify their indiscriminate searches.

16. How about probable cause? That's what we ordinarily require to justify searches.
I really won't be surpised if the Supreme Court and some point finds this is a violation of the 4th amendment

21. Checkpoint security is one...
of several exceptions to 4th amendment prohibitions of warrentless searches.

14. "TSA Song" by yours truly

Now that we are getting radiated by fukushima, I suppose the "negligible" amounts are starting to add up like a gut full of tumors.

17. Training the kids to accept it now makes it easier for them later.
These assholes understand psychological conditioning.

19. I like this quote:
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

22. Interesting that the TSA is as loathed in 'Freeperland' as it is here
And even was when Bush implemented it.

Just noting I find it interesting when both we and they hate something in common.

23. Right wing knows no boundaries, no limits -- it's fanatacism ....
they will argue that young children have been turned into drug mules in

some cases -- therefore it will eventually be OK to do "strip search" not

only on every passenger -- but children as well!!

This is the rise of the right -- and the only way they have succeeded is with

political violence -- assassinations -- stolen elections -- lies --



The Rightwing Koch Bros. Funded the DLC --

If you didn't know -- pass it along -- !!
