Default Dont touch my junk

Beyond being the new ...don't tase me bro... moment/bumpersticker, now we have this disturbing development.

The TSA’s invasive new screening measures include officers literally putting their hands down people’s pants if they are wearing baggy clothing in a shocking new elevation of groping procedures that have stoked a nationwide revolt against privacy-busting airport security measures.

When he asked what the procedure entailed, the TSA agent responded, “I have to go in your waistband, I have to put my hand down your pants,” after which he did precisely that.

If this means, when I fly, that I'll be safe, and my family will be safe, then I'll have that hot girl over there do the screening

For once I agree with TTM! It will someone named Bulla Ballbricker.

The TSA is pretty absurd. The people they hire look like they'd be a larger threat than many passengers. Half my friends (more?) have Q clearances (heck, got interviewed in the house by an investigator for a friend getting cleared last week). They're gonna get the pat-down from someone in a much tighter financial situation that might be "bought" to look the other way? Guys that deal with designing our defenses and nukes, no less. LOL.

The pilots? Erm, if they want to harm passengers, they are in the cockpit already, they can do like that Egyptian pilot did and crash the plane.

I'm frankly unsure what is to be done. I'd like to see serious studies on the x-ray machines before my kids get scanned repeatedly, for example. What will a pat-down buy some slack-jawed TSA employee find? How much training do they have? As much as a cop doing a search? I think not.

The TSA are incompetent fools. They've never thwarted any plot. They've never stopped any terrorist.

Scary:

Airport security in America is a sham—“security theater” designed to make travelers feel better and catch stupid terrorists. Smart ones can get through security with fake boarding passes and all manner of prohibited items—as our correspondent did with ease.

My favorite part is where the Hezbollah flag and "Osama bin Laden - Hero of Islam" tshirt raised no suspicions.

Note that the airline STILL cannot guarantee that your bags will not have items stolen out of them when checked.

If the BAGS cannot be secure, then why can't terrorists simply sneak bombs in THERE?

Also, and I'm honestly surprised this has not happened, what about the security lines themselves as a target?

Take our ABQ airport. Most all the planes are 737s and smaller. The security line, OTOH, snakes several planes full of passengers through one, large room. By definition, the people in the line have no yet been searched. If a suicide attacker detonated in the middle of the line, he'd get his dearest wish, the murder of countless innocents (for which Allah gives him a nice prize—yeah Islam!). Also, air travel would be just as screwed with all the economic issues that causes.

Which begs the question. Do the TSA folks who are doing the checks required to submit to the same searches/x-rays/groping as the passengers who they are checking. If not why not? TSA employees are on the new 'airside' now.

Pretty much

Given the fact that the TSA’s own woeful background checks for their own employees allows rapists and pedophiles to get jobs as pat down agents, will you allow TSA workers to put their hands down the pants of your daughter or wife?
Like hell!

I'd rather they didn't fly
