1 Wait one goddamned minute! I paid for this airplane ticket!! I want my reach around, damn it!

2 shoot, we all posted at the same time. I'll take mine down and save it for later.

3 The groping is done to harass people into stepping through the scanners, and the groping is going on all across America. So: Where did the orders to grope and harass come from, and how were they promulgated? Did the orders come from Soros and Chertoff, who were they given to and who within TSA passed them on. Luckily the MFM will be all over this like they were with Watergate. Right?

4 Yeah. I am guessing the video of the kids being strip searched is what put it over the top.

Looks like someone in the Whitehouse finally took a look at the internet, and watched the Sunday Talk shows...

Even they can't live in their Bubble forever.... especially with the coming Anti Big Government Regulation backlash coming... and it IS coming...

This is just the start... they over reached, in an Unconsitutuional manner... dictating by Regulation that our Privacy could be invaded at will... when Americans LIKE their privacy.... and are suddenly starting to understand we have none...

6 When I am satisfied that they are groping and harassing everyone in general, and Muslims in particular, I will not be near as annoyed.

It enrages me that they're strip searching toddlers randomly, but not only is profiling Muslims not allowed, but Muslim women don't get groped or harassed at all.

Screw that.

If near sighted Gingers with abnormally long legs and arms were the ones terrorizing the world, I would understand that I would be profiled, and I'd be happy to do what I was required to do to satisfy safety concerns.

How about we just choose what flights we want that get the passengers groped.

Ticket gal: "Do want a grope flight with your window seat?"

Passenger: " No, but let me cop a feel on that fine ass of yours while we're on the subject".

10 If the GOP House passes a "Don't Touch Their Junk" law on their first day, 2012 will be redder than Megaton McCain's *bleep* after a two-week *bleep* *bleep* bender.

11

If someone decides they don't want to be checked and doesn't mind taking the chance they will explode in a ball of fire in the air or have their airplane come apart and ride a chunk of it down 30,000 feet to turn into a puddle of goo, that is their choice. I have no problem with that.

However, it is a quite pushy to insist others join you. Inconsiderate and ill-mannered. Whatever happened to the good old days when you could just stick a non-conformists head in a bucket of water and go about your business? 

12 Yeah, assault children but hands off the muzzies. The kids don't sue, CAIR does.
Makes about as much sense as trying muzzie terrorists in civilian courts.

There's probably a pattern there, just give me a minute...

14 All your genitals are belong to us.

15 I wonder how many cancellations the airlines have seen for the holiday week-end. Bet lots of parents are deciding they can drive to grandma's house and avoid the kiddie grope.

16 The idiots in the White House are too callous and sure of their righteousness to be uncomfortable about kids being searched. It's more a matter of them being uncomfortable about our reaction to it, and the possibility that it may cost them politically.

Posted by: Helen in Maryland at November 21, 2010 06:31 PM (gE+Ds) Don't be shocked to learn that was part of the TSA's plan all along.

"My guess is that even people in the Whitehouse are getting uncomfortable with videos of children being searched. As the public outcry continues to grow."

That (search youtube for TSA forces 4 year old boy who was disabled to remove both leg braces and go through metal detector unassisted), and the fact that in the last several weeks of this growing issue (more past stories are getting air/internet play now) I/we have yet to hear/see stories/videos/pictures of:

1) anyone of Muslim persuasion being screened by TSA

2) any stories of TSA nabbing anyone suspected of trying to get by them with a weapon/explosive

The TSA is profiling. Blame America First Barry and Co. ARE using profiling @ the TSA. ItÂ’s the Bill Ayers/Bernadine Dohrn/Weather Underground model, not the Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab/Richard Reid model.

Funny part is that after I retired from the Navy, I grew my hair and beard... and was traveling a lot on business... but I'd go to the airport in a leather Jacket, looking like an Anarchist... and seldom got searched...

After I cut my hair, and shaved, I found myself getting singled out for searched more...

Very strange....

21 If the screeners are having a slowdown, like that video of O'Hare suggested, we should support them and make it REALLY slow. After all, it's robotic soulless dupes like Pistole and Janet that caused this, not the average screener.

So Barky can take over the bankrupt airlines next?

Want to know how shit-for-brains stupid the TSA is? Plane filled with US soldiers returning from Afghanistan are removed from plane and RE-screened (after being previously screened). All are carrying one or multiple guns (un-loaded). TSA guy makes them remove all pocket contents. Blasts soldier for nail clippers. Confiscates said nail clippers, arguing they can be used as a weapon to hijack the plane. Soldier taps his rifle and counters:  http://tinyurl.com/25sjuds

 

 

24 The airlines should step up to the plate and demand that they control passenger screening. It's their airplanes and reputation, they should be in charge. Then we might see something smart, like getting certified security clearance for the passengers based on retinal scans. I was talking to a checker at my grocery store and he said when they log in, they have a retinal scan, for whatever reason. If the freaking grocery store can figure it out, the airlines can. Our government cannot. Hell the top guy can't figure out umbrella technology.

25

Wasn't that long ago you would be in trouble if you told an official at the boarding area you would not object if they groped you between the legs.

True fact.

26 I wonder if they'll ever realize the groping was just the straw that broke the camel's back.  Speaking for myself and several friends I've discussed this with, what we really want is for it to be FASTER and easier.  The whole process is designed with the convenience of the TSA in mind, not the passenger's.  A good professional ergonomics company should be called in to analyze and streamline the process.  God, hopping around trying to get your shoes on and off while people swarm around you, unpacking your laptop while the guy behind you taps his foot, trying to put your shoes and belt back on while also trying to get your laptop back into the case while more stuff floods out of the x-ray machine....
No real company would treat "customers"* with this level of contempt and ineptitude. 

*Check the TSA brochures--we are, apparently, "customers."  With the chance to win an all-expenses paid trip to Club Fed.

27 When you've lost SNL ....

28

 "....he said when they log in, they have a retinal scan..."

Retinal scans have nothing to do with rectal probing although it is easy to get those two mixed up if you do know know scientific or medical terms.

29 Imagine Bush Is President (IBIP). Would it have taken this long to get rid of these machines? Of course not because those defending TSA's over the top practices would have condemned them immediately instead of defending them.

Just where did the TSA genius think the soldiers were going to hijack the plane to? Back  to Afghanistan?

He's a real nowhere man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.

Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere Man please listen,
You don't know what you're missing,
Nowhere Man,the world is at your command!

(lead guitar)

He's as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?

Nowhere Man, don't worry,
Take your time, don't hurry,
Leave it all till somebody else
lends you a hand!

LMAO! Yeah, and apparently the TSA jag-off never saw a soldier/Marine do serious damage with the butt of a rifle.

34 Pistole was nominated by President Barack Obama to serve as Administrator of the TSA on May 17, 2010 and was unanimously confirmed to serve in that position by the United States Senate on June 25, 2010



Thank goodness we have the Republicans in the Senate who carefully scrutinize Obama's appointments....

35 So a parasitic useless bureaucrat finally realized his job may be at risk and he starts to back peddle. Much too late, I say prosecute the TSA leadership for crimes against American citizens. Pistole needs to spend a decade or two behind bars.

36

@36

Hell Ya!

37 Pistole is as out of touch with reality as Pelosi.

38 That Pistole twerp is one of the most repugnant dipshits I've ever seen.  He needs to be arrested and sentenced to constant anal probes by fat, man-hating lesbians for the next 20 years - publicly aired.

Pistole is the perfect beard for B Hussein and his drive to destroy America.  They belong together ... in jail, suffering their well-earned fates.


Couldn't sum it up better myself.

Pistole sentenced to constant cavity searches by Janet Napalitano.  They and that asshole Chertoff also should be irradiated by the RAPEiScans 100 times a day for a year for a clinical study.

39

My guess is what changed their minds is resistance from Muslim groups (because they don't give a sh*t what the rest of us think).   For Muslims its a 'rule' that they cannot show their 'junk' to anyone outside their spouse.  And  imagine the furor if they were 'touching our junk' while allowing special rules for Muslims.  Probably made their heads explode!

 

40 I figure we put a full urostomy bag on Pistole's belly--then have an auction for the right to punch it firmly--with a Claire McCaskill "love pat"--and see if we can break the seal.  Hell I'd pay $1.000 for a shot at that, and I'd bet I'd be low bidder.  What a putz.  He deserves to be drenched in his own urine.

41

OK, then. Don't fly. Buy a GMC Volt to get you there and back. (Within range). A $17,000 car for $40,000.

That was the plan all along.

Suckers.

42 Does anyone else think that the TSA protocols were ratcheted up so that they could back off half ways, thus demonstrating that the "customers" had been heard? Throw us a bone...

43 It's time every male buy a plastic athletic cup supporter and wear it through airport security. It's the only way to make sure they don't hurt you or touch you. Let them figure that one out the asshats.

44 And if you drive, drive the most polluting vehicle you have. Maximum carbon output.

45 TSA = Totalitarian States of America.

46 And if you drive, drive the most polluting vehicle you have.

This entire brouhaha was entirely foreseeable.  100% foreseeable.  How stupid and incompetent is our gov't?  Don't answer that...we already know.

Also, how do we know the TSA gropers aren't gay?  If the purpose of same-sex pat downs is to avoid the TSA agent from getting off on it, or sexual harrassment of the passenger, then they must disqualify all gays from serving as TSA agents.  I haven't seen this point brought up yet.  Let the rainbow war begin.  (and for the record, I don't have anything against gays; it's the principle of the thing)

50 Also, how do we know the TSA gropers aren't gay?

If I'm selected for another groping I'm going to ask. It's a perfectly reasonable question.

51 I have to agree this might be a strange strategy for something. Because in this world what are the two things GAURAN-FUCKING-TEED to get a person to try to kill you?

#1 Touch his baby child's privates and manhandle said child while they scream.

#2 Force him to watch his wife get manhandled, breasts squeezed, privates touched.

My guys a Marine, a  field MP. HIS job has variously been customs at Okinawa SEARCHING people, going through bags. He actually wrote the AF customs protocol at Kadina for them (so yes, he DID write the book on it!)  HE IS APPALLED.

This is needless. This is gross. the idea they arent changing gloves, separating people  from their kids and bags, and the whole inconsistent and arbitrary manner of what they are all about screams "security isnt what this is about!"

Hes worked on the green line and hes done other stuff, searching for weapons where it really counts, and really really really this is crazy to us. He cant hear me read any of this anymore it makes him too mad.

That said: Most of the people caught with bombs in their stuff by El Al screeners are western women. The boyfriend packed.

In iraq, yes they do strap bombs to women, to blow up in crowds of women and children. He did see this happen and he hasnt slept right since.

But people who are up to no good ACT FLAKY.
when stopped and questioned weird stuff happens.
DONT believe this crap that a person with a bomb will look like anyone and be as cool as a cucumber. THEY WONT BE. 
People with bombs freak when they see dogs.

So my opinion is that they are trying to force an incident.
The man has no opinion other than "Its a good thing we dont take vacations."

52 I thought the Nazis in the White House were trying to foment the rebellion they could then put down. What happened? Trying to cool things off with some lip service while doing the same thing.

53

And to think, I have been asking people to grope me over these many years!

Now the Govenment pays for it!

Many Yays!

 

54 However, it is a quite pushy to insist others join you. Inconsiderate and ill-mannered. Whatever happened to the good old days when you could just stick a non-conformist's head in a bucket of water and go about your business?

Those were the days, weren't they?

Used to be, that you could look a man in the eyes, and judge him Hobo or likely non-Hobo and do what you will.

Not anymore, it seems...

Frankly, if I'm supposed to add all toddlers and superannuated nuns to my list of likely targets, I'm just not up for it!

Its one thing to go on a Hobo killing spree ca. 1990 - 2007 or so, but I never signed on for this shit!

Call me a pussy or rank me out as "not a team player".

Whatever.

It's just not feasible to treat each and every person that you meet as a potential Hobo.

Do the fucking math, man!

57 Me, my husband and my v-8 grand cherokee limited are driving the 700 miles to see the in-laws rather than flying. My husband has metal in his back to do an accident and flying is just not going to work for us. I will not put  him through the nonsense of clearing him to board with all the metal in his spine. I will not see him or me humiliated by a bunch of petty thugs at the TSA. They can kiss my big fat butt.  This may be the last straw for flyers. Let these airlines go bankrupt and lets see who steps up. It cannot get any worse so let the ailines collapse.

58 It is understood that the United States since October 15 brought 301 survey, pv solar china new energy enterprises, especially the stock market in the U.S. PV companies stock began to fall, as of the end of October, US-listed Chinese PV companies in the market value of several major lost nearly 10% of the total market value has fallen below 10 billion U.S. dollars mark, which is representative of the former pv solares china domestic photovoltaic industry, its shares fell to a November 3 $ 8.64, the market value of $ 1,550,000,000, fell nearly 10% less than two weeks. It is reported, the beginning of Suntech in the U.S. had called Shizhitupo 10 billion U.S. dollars, after 2008 the rapid development of photovoltaic industry, its market value or even up to 120 billion dollars. In the past one year, Suntech had reached $ 18.78 the highest price / share, the pv solaire china price has dropped to $ 7.53 / share, according to the highest ibility to continue to decline.

Although the 301 areas surveyed, including wind, solar, Paineis Solares china and fuel-efficient vehicles, involving a total of 154 clean energy enterprises in China, but the biggest impact on the photovoltaic industry. As these enterprises in the U.S. market share is relatively small, so the short term for ChinaÂ’s new energy industry, the actual impact is very limited. If the investigation 301 is passed, will the new energy industry in China adversely affect long-term development, according to China Customs export data show that 1 in August this year, ChinaÂ’s total global exports of solar panels up to 100 billion U.S. dollars, of which more than 80% of exports to the European market, exports to the U.S. market only solar panels in China 4.57% of global exports. About 75% of which belong to processing trade.
