I wonder how long it will take for people to bitch about TSA hiring Homosexuals?

Yep, that's a female ponytail. It makes sense that dudes search dudes, and females search females. Saves on liability suits and whatnot, I bet.
I'm not so sure about these new procedures, but frankly... there ain't much to look at. Most people will probably want to take the route of least resistance and go through the scanners... whereas the asswipes will pitch a fit and be taken aside for the extended pat-down. Agreed that the sacrificial morons (terrorists) will find a way around any measures put in place. They like doing that kind of thing, and they have someone (you and me) to practice on. **** 'em all to hell. But, until this idiotic war is over, this is the kind of crap we're going to have to go through to be relatively safe. A friend of mine thinks we should all be issued matching jumpsuits before we fly. We put all of our clothing and personal belongings into a bin that is sorted over and scanned, and we receive them at our destination. Add that along with full body scans and chem sniffers and god knows what else and we have something much closer to a sci-fi movie than even I am comfortable with. The times, they are a-changin'. And in a way it really sucks because most of us just want to live. Leave it to a few dumb****s to spoil the party. Apologies in advance for the strong language. Edit: Meanwhile, AQ are laughing their asses off at the pandemonium they've set off. How much more of a frenzy can they get out of us before we figure it out?

This is normally what you expect from our tabloid papers like The Mirror or Daily Mail.

I'm glad the public is finally saying "Enough is enough!" to this government intrusion. The questions of radiation safety and TSA personnel getting off on groping us are almost beside the point. To the aircrews, it's absurd that they get subjected to the same scan-or-grope treatment while the ground crews don't. The system is only good for catching dumb terrorists, not smart ones.
It isn't even about true security, it's about control -- priming us for even more violations of privacy till our daily lives look like a combo of Orwell's 1984 and "Minority Report". http://www.usatoday.com/news/washing...tsa16_ST_N.htm This is no joke. Once you give bureaucrats this kind of power, they'll never have enough. They'll always say it's to protect us from the Evildoers. History shows that when the onset of tyranny is gradual, people often do not recognize it until it's too late. http://blogs.forbes.com/andygreenber...t-roving-vans/ The question we should be asking is not whether strip-scanning is a good idea or not, but rather: at what point will you recognize tyranny, if not now? (And then what will you do?)

Do as I say, not as I do. Government VIPs get to bypass screening. |
