7 I came up with this idea yesterday for a more effective way to protest airport security (some just have to fly. no way around it).

Opt out of the scanner.  Then tell the TSA agent you do not understand the pat-down procedures and ask that he demonstrate the extensiveness on a co-worker. If they are reasonable procedures, they should have no reason to object to demonstrating them to a concerned public. 

Make the TSA agents get intimate on each other, repeatedly, frequently and often.

8 Good Morning Morons

Fixed omelets this morning and sat here watching the talking heads on Fox defending the TSA groping.

I keep saying the flying public didn't screw up and cause 9-11, the incompetent government did.

So why aren't we limiting the groping to the government?

Opt out of the scanner.  Then tell the TSA agent you do not understand the pat-down procedures and ask that he demonstrate the extensiveness on a co-worker. If they are reasonable procedures, they should have no reason to object to demonstrating them to a concerned public. 

Although this is an entirely rational and perfectly reasonable and effective means to protest in the world we try to live in, in Bizarro World it will probably get you arrested and fined five figures.

That being said, I'm all for it

18 I came up with this idea yesterday for a more effective way to protest airport security (some just have to fly. no way around it).

I still think people selected for groping should start voluntarily stripping off their clothes, negating the need for a feel-up (although I suppose if they've had a medical procedure, they'll need to be injured and humiliated no matter how naked they are).

Obviously this works better with older, uglier people than with the cute young ladies currently being singled out for the nakey scanner.

Neither Maya nor Tari has been charged with any offence, although Islamist hardliners have called for Tari -- who is married -- to be stoned to death for adultery.

These protests, while incredibly satisfying on an emotional level, will have to be taken up by congress for anything concrete to be done. Remember, the TSA reports to the most tone-deaf politician in the world! Obama (pbuh) doesn't give a rat's ass about how Americans feel when their rights are violated.

The whole TSA thing is going to be the fatal blow to Obama and he doesn't know it.  He could have easily recovered from it, but he's doubling down.  You know who flies?  Middle-class white professionals.  And they fly a lot.

I had a colleague tell me in 2006, I think, that he was convinced that all of the inconvenience in the airports was a result of Bush and that the next Democrat president (at that time, he was presuming Hillary) would do away with it all.

I knew that wasn't true at the time.  Hillary, for one, would never risk an attack on her watch.

If you have some idiot liberal Facebook "friends," you know that they are actually hot about this.  The fact that their hero is taking the other side is inconceivable to them.

What they don't realize is that not only does he not care about that constituency, he actively despises them.

Yes, they're being inconvenienced -- which is good for our side -- but the folks who seem to be taking it on the chin the most are the grey panthers.  When I flew this weekend I observed three pat-downs, all of people 60 or older (and one who looked to be around 70).  The woman had the skirt to her dress lifted up to her waist and one of the men had his elasticized-waisted baggy old man pants manipulated so that the waist was pulled out and the TSA person was in a position to look down his pants. 

Old people and white professionals (guys mostly) will vote this administration out the door.

I'm envious! There's no bigger news than kittehs!

Not being in a place right now where I can haz kittehz, I'm really missing the presence of the cute/evil/friendly/conniving little beasts. Yeah, as someone else said, they quickly transform themselves from sweet li'l fuzzball status to drooling, red-eyed monsters, but that's part of the charm.

Never had an orange-and-white. But my all-time #1 Kitteh was orange. Not exactly the brightest feline, but certainly the best friend you could want....

49

It's not just this, of course, that sours people on Obama.  When 2012 comes around, people will realize they don't much like Obama anymore.  Some will have specific reasons, but many will not.

If Obama keeps the full-body scans and pat-downs for the next two years, he will be out on his ear, even if the other candidate does not promise to abolish them.

I agree. It's un-PC to say this, but the reason Obama won in 2008 is because of the White vote. Whether from guilt, old-time loyalty to the Dem party, or they just wanted something other than Bush (or the "shiny new object"), lots of white guys voted for him. Lord Zero will be lucky to break 10 percent of this group next time, especially if the Pubs have a decent alternative.

I don't see any states that McCain won flipping to Zero in '12. But I can see several so-called Blue-states flipping back to red, and hard.

58 Yeah, my boycat runs a good 25 lbs. He is bigger than the Scottie my neighbors used to have. And he is strong. He pushed an upright vaccuum cleaner three feet across the living room floor to get at a mouse and constantly opens the drawer on the bottom of the stove filled with pots and pans because that's where the mice get in.

59 Yeah, Luca, I remember my idiot father-in-law constantly talking about the "white man's burden." WTF? serves me right for marrying a Medican! (us guineas don't know from white man's burden.)

Does he have a girlfriend?

61 I have a old Tuxedo kitteh who is currently sitting at the bottom of the chair wanting to get in my lap but it is occupied by the keyboard.

He is not happy.

62 That TSA story on the sidebar - the one describing them going through her checks and calling her husband - is outrageous.  It's in direct violation of their mission if, as they claimed, they were suspicious that she was clearing out the bank accounts because of a divorce situation.  They aren't allowed to investigate non-airline safety related crimes. 

What if she was fleeing an abusive husband?  That'd be great.  The TSA would have told him where to find her and alerted him to stop the checks. 

Fucking assholes.

My biggest cat was 27 pounds of lean & mean. He learned to work doorknobs, and could jump from floor to top of refrigerator. Easily.

Dunno how he would have been with mice (didn't have any), but he had no problem with dogs. They gave him -- and his fast paws -- a wide berth....

65 Apparently, this John Pistole TSA creep is more concerned about the comfort of terrorists than that of civilians:

Pistole and Valerie E. Caproni were the two FBI officials who approved a memo laying out the FBI's policy on the limits to the interrogation of captives taken during the United States' war on terror. The memo was from the FBI's General Counsel, to all offices, explaining that FBI officials were not allowed to engage in coercive interrogations; FBI officials were not allowed to sit in on coercive interrogations conducted by third parties; FBI officials were required to immediately report any instances of suspected coercive interrogation up the FBI chain of command.

So this guy gets his panties in a wad about "coercive interrogations" of terrorists, but is perfectly comfortable with little kids getting gropes and strip searched? WTF?

66 My favorite line similar to the top quote  is:
Marge: Quick! Perform CPR!

Homer (singing): I see a bad moon risin'...

Marge: That's CCR!

67 Mine knows what doorknobs do and can reach them. He keeps trying to turn them but can't get the door open. It's fun watching them. They're smart and you can see them think. They don't recognize words like dogs, but I can say "who's hungry?" in a soft voice and they'll all come running no matter where they are. Those two words they know.
