TSA ejects Oceanside man from airport for refusing security check

No....because he wouldn't have made it through the metal detector in the first place. Geez....what has this country come to that submitting to security fondling is now something that some people are perfectly comfortable with?
 
TSA and Napaolitano are jokes Janet is no more qualified to be in tat position as Obams would be as night manager at Taco Bell which is not at all.

With a little luck don't touch my junk will be the battle cry to put some common sense into security.

Don't pat down the scum bad Cultist in the burka but feel up the Nun?

This is crazy but it comes on Obama's watch and he is a crazy SOB.

They don't do this stuff if you fly on an Israeli plane and no one is trying to smuggle stuff on those.

TSA isn't checking what's in your checked luggage.

I said it before. This Administration is so freaking goofy they will next require body cavity searches.

Obama and all 30 something Czars and his inner circle of radicals Socialist/Marxists/Communists and terrorists have got to go, but until that can be done he needs to be shut down along with all of his failed policies, and plans.

Okay Liberals start the name calling.

The TSA is more worried about being polically correct, rather than actually smoking out the bad guys and it's not working out so well? Color me shocked!!!!

Or you could actually fully privatize airports and let them come up with their own security so you people can get the profiling that you people have been crying for.

I'm pretty sure Bin Laden would have a thing or two about the fact that a female is working at a job with her face exposed, so I doubt he'd call her a real Muslim or this a victory.

I learned a long time ago not to argue with coppers in the street. These people are the "next best thing." He's lucky he got his money back....nice of the airlines, actually, as I don't think he should have. TSA officers are doing their best to enforce very unpopular laws. They're doing it to keep us safe. If this jerk couldn't understand that and cut them a little slack, then he's an idiot. And I don't want him on my airplane.

I can see that they may have wanted to question him further. Guy with bomb in his underwear refuses to be patted down at the checkpoint. They send him on his way, and he blows up the Ticket Counter. We'd all be shouting, "JFG!!!! They had 'im at at the checkpoint and they let him go??????

I don't think he minded cutting them a little slack, the problem was they wanted him to cut a little sack.

I didn't post an opinion on the OP because I struggle with this. I understand the threat, I also don't want my junk juggled, can see where this is government sanctioned fondling, and have refused full body scans. It's a Catch-22.

It may bother me a whole lot less if they racially profiled.

It's not fondling... when they grab your testicles and start rubbing them and poke a finger up your ass... then you can call it fondling.

Probably because you are not a member of a group that would be profiled.
The reality is....if you were, you would feel just as strongly as you do about the fondling.

Let me just say this. I have a very common name. Every time I go to the airport I am put through the rigormoral because my name appears on the do not fly list.
It is extremely irritating and i have to allow for at least an extra 30 minutes just so they can clear me through their system. Sometimes it is so ridiculous that I just about lose my temper.....and this doesn't even involve fondling.

The reality is....you don't have problems with selective security measures until it affects you every single time that you walk into an airport.

How do you know I'm not?
And when a certain segment is responsible for heinous crimes against humanity, they should be profiled. Don't like it? Too bad... fight against those that cause the problems.

Absolutely, categorically, 100% not.

You perhaps. Me not. I would be even more pissed at the bastards causing the problem.

Whenever I hear complaints at the airport, I have said many times to the people... this is bin Laden's gift. Hoping they realize, we need to snuff out the problem to restore some sanity. That means a full out aggressive war to eliminate the scum... for however long it takes.

True, that. And now we are hassling everybody. So do you propose to take it lying down (no pun intended)? Do you think everyone else will?

I can tell that you aren't by your attitude.

How is fighting people who happen to innocently fall in a cognizable class "fighting against those that cause the problem"?

Again....you have obviously never had to experience it. You would think that once they verified that I am not the person on the "Do not fly list" that would be enough....no...instead I have to go through a whole ordeal everytime I go to the airport. Sometimes it is not too bad...other times it is just plain ridiculous. I've shown up 2 hours before my flight before and missed my flight because "their computers were down".

Sorry...but a "Full out aggressive war to eliminate the scum" does not start by profiling innocent people.

Once it starts affecting everyone...then everyone gets to understand what it is like.....and watch the bitch meter go sky high when it affects them and not just "the other guy". We're already seeing it here in this thread.

I dont know about DD's solution but mine would be let the airprots handle their own security and let the market dictate it.
 
Private companies still have to comply with Constitutional safeguards.

They dont have the right to steal, kill, or beat them up. They would have the right install its own screening policies, under private property rights. In addition its much easier to fight a private business than it is government thugs.

FAIL. You think you know my attitude, but you are tragically wrong. I'm a wee bit more complex than you think, for I think. Hence no opinion in the OP.

When terror attacks are pulled off by a recognizable majority exclusively, you have to be a moron to ignore the fact.
Again....you have obviously never had to experience it.

Again... making assumptions.

You don't know they're innocent. Unfortunately for them they are of the type that has proven to create havoc with regularity... and therefore should be profiled.

Ft. Hood... deaths because of PC. Afraid not only to profile, but ignored billboard size warnings.

It's common sense really.

It's the result of making profiling illegal.

Let's take a closer look at a person that fits the profile of a terrorist and let Susie Q pass through the metal detector and board her flight to go see her grammy in Omaha.

Then stop crying about the current system. This is what you wanted. Is anyone getting profiled? Nope! You asked for this, now you have it.

I'm not crying about the current system. I accept it, although, personally it affects me adversely. Why? because I understand that it would be wrong and completely fly in the face of our Constitution to profile people.

Do I think that TSA could do things better? Absolutely.
Do I think that they employ a lot of stupid and unnecessary measures? Absolutely

But go back through my threads and find one where I said that we should do away with it and instead unfairly single out some people for maltreatment.

Seems to me, that you don't want any kind of security in place.
