TSA ejects Oceanside man from airport for refusing security check

Nice to see people are FINALLY waking up to the government thugs that is the TSA. Its been long overdue to dissolve the TSA and let the airports handle their own security.

We already tried that. They wouldn't pay their security squat and we got what we paid for.
 
I'm thinking the weenies that can't bear to know someone scanned their body parts, or can't handle a pat down were never in sports in high school cause they couldn't bear to take a shower with the other guys and be seen naked. Good God people we all have the same equipment! Get a grip you're not in Cub Scouts anymore! I also would think it would be harder to touch some other guy's "junk" than have mine touched. How'd you like to do that every day if you're straight? Yuck!

Hey take your pick. Blown apart at 30,000 feet at 70 below zero or a body scan. Personally I find the scan a lot less intimidating.

If you can't be checked for contraband don't get on my GD airplane. Take a car, bus, or train! :mad:

How ridiculous. Are you really that concerned about being blown apart at 30,000 feet? Since 9/11, there have been a total of TWO attempted terrorist attacks on aircraft (out of millions of flights) and they were both foiled...not by the TSA but by the passengers.

And the nudie booths don't even solve the problem of terrorism since a terrorist could accomplish the same thing by blowing himself up in the security line. So basically they're a non-solution to a non-problem...at who-knows-what-cost to the taxpayers, countless hours of wasted time, and an additional affront to our civil liberties.
 
I hate to break it to the pro-molestation side, but the body scanners and genital touching won't save your life. If I recall correctly, there aren't hordes of armed guards and metal detectors at the front doors--only when you're getting near the checkpoints. What stops a few terrorists from stashing body armor and AR15's in a duffel back, going to the restroom, then coming out as Rambo? How many people could you shoot in a crowded airport with a 90 round drum magazine? With a little training, you could easily take down the out-gunned security guards--maybe even escape if you plan well. Even Infinity Ward thought of it!

 
He accepted the regulations and left. Which ones did he continue to break?



Yeah, and they'll keep upping the ante until they have to do cavity searches on each passenger.

Hold still, you may feel a tingle up your leg.

You will also remember, 9/11 wasn't done with wmds or automatic weapons either. Yet we invaded Iraq. And let's please stop the silliness. No one is pro molestation. Just anti hysteria.
 
Really??? I thought you said they "overreacted".

Which is it ??

Another example of reading difficulties. I said they overreacted. And I then told you how they should act. Reread, slowly, and I think you may see your error.
 
There are those who have gone through it who seem to disagree.

And those who agree. More agree with me than disagree by the polls I've heard. But that is irrelevent. Facts are facts. No one was molested or fondled.

So what? You think that passengers will ever allow terrorists to hijack a plane again? Of course not. The worst terror attacks in the air from now on will only affect the people on board the plane. And they are so vanishingly rare that it's not worth this ridiculousness.

What? :confused:

The people who are anti-hysteria are the ones who are opposed to gross overreactions like having government agencies treat them like criminals, just so that we can pretend to prevent terrorism on airplanes, of which there have only been two attempts in the past 9 years.

The ones who are behaving hysterically are the ones who think that planes are suddenly going to start being blown out of the sky if we don't sexually assault passengers, despite the fact that that has NEVER been a problem.

You're only giving in to the hysteria yourself by playing the "OMG, take my liberties and privacy to stop the terror" card.
 
And those who agree. More agree with me than disagree by the polls I've heard. But that is irrelevent. Facts are facts. No one was molested or fondled.

You've seen polls of people who have gone through it? Point to these. G'head. :lamo

You have a habit of freely declaring "fact" when there is none. I'll declare mine: when Democrats do it, Boo Radley thinks it's fine. When Republicans do it, Boo Radley thinks it's a crime against humanity.

I've seen polls of people. However, how many do you think have gone through it? How many are complaining?

And I wasn't aware this was a partisan issue. Are democrats doing or TSA? Is there a republican TSA and democat TSA?

What I appose, across the board, regardless of party, is hyperbolic exaggeration. No one is being fondled.

Enough. :roll: By this reasoning, if few complain about random searches of homes in any given neighborhood, then it's OK.

:lamo :lamo

Was it the Republicans or the FBI/NSA doing warrantless wiretaps? I didn't know there was a Republican FBI or NSA.

In any case:

This doesn't happen without her approval.

Yeah. You've never engaged in that, ever. :rofl

Yeah, but unfortunately your cohorts shoot you in the head at the end.

You didn't read one iota of this thread before you posted that tripe, did you?

I'll ask you, since you have all the answers - how does one visit family in China in a timely manner without flying?
 
...yet you're the person perpetuating the hysteria, not the people opposed to the violations of privacy. Tell me, do you support the Patriot Act too?

No I don't, because it isn't the same thing. The partriot act gives too much power to people doing nothing more than being at home or going to work. People at the airport are getting on a plane were something did go wrong, have had a problem, and people have tried to smuggle something on to. A real difference.

I see the rationale. Nothing bad ever happens at home or work. It's always on those darn airplanes. :roll:

No, that would not be my reasoning. Only pointing out that just because a few complain, that also doesn't mean it is wrong.




Was it the Republicans or the FBI/NSA doing warrantless wiretaps? I didn't know there was a Republican FBI or NSA.

Would it be right or less right either way? It was wrong then and is wrong now. Agian, not a partisan thing.






Yeah. You've never engaged in that, ever.

Certainly try not to. Yourself? ;)
 
I see the rationale. Nothing bad ever happens at home or work. It's always on those darn airplanes. :roll:

And, you know, terrorists never use telephones to contact their people within the US. Nor do they fund them through electronic transfers.
 
No, that would not be my reasoning. Only pointing out that just because a few complain, that also doesn't mean it is wrong.

You keep telling yourself that, I guess. :roll:

Again, not the rationale. Think about it a little more.
 
So I either let some TSA flunky grope my preschooler or let one ogle her naked, or just simply deny her the opportunity to see half of her family until the good folks in D.C. pull their heads out of their asses?

How about if I stand up for my right to not be treated like a convicted felon without having had the benefit of due process just because the government is afraid? Is that okay with you?

To characterize TSA pat-downs as fondling is hyperbole-and-a-half. First, the odds of your daughter being patted down are slim to none on any particular flight. Second, these pat downs are not done by pedophiles, for heaven's sake. Third, however you characterize this to your daughter is egzakly how she's going to react. "Standard procedure"? "Groping and Fondling"? Which is it?

Yes! Of course you have the right to protest this invasive procedure. What you don't have is a right to fly.

This discussion has, as usual, taken off into the wild blue yonder.

Yes, we get it, Maggie:

I guess if you don't like wiretaps, you don't have to use the phone, 'coz no one has the right to use a telephone.
