I said something because you appear angry and if you'd like to talk it out I'm here.
Oh I get it, your not an awesome problem solver, you simply "solved" his problem to be a jerk or didnt know the wiser, you probably assumed he would opt out of the scan in the first place and thats why you said what you did.
If I'm wrong correct me and ill delete my posts, just dont like peeps who troll a little more then honestly converse with others, sorry
could of flown and got there in a few hours instead I drove took me 2 full days kinda sucked but its nice to drive through the country side and not deal with all that bs
if we let little kids around the screening process then that will be the weakness terrorists exploit, they'll use some orphan child strapped hard in explosive pampers & consider that child just another martyr.......And FYI this wouldn't stop me from getting on a flight. It is more degrading for the workers in my view to be feeling my penis than the other way around. But when little children are being subjected to this, something has to give.
you have NO RIGHT to fly, your expected 'liberties' do NOT exist just because your feet are on US soil, wanna fly??? get with the program and comply with one screening process or the other.
you gonna tell that big friggin' bouncer "fuck you! I'm coming in this strip club w/out a pat down?" I didn't think so....... you're on his turf & if you wanna see the dancing girls you're gonna stand for the pat down if that's how they keep weapons out of the club or you're not going to get in.
Rite!!And ontop of all that I just PAID 600 bucks for this privelage!!How many fucking bombs have gone off in planes inside the US already?In the name of SAFETY they fuck us!Theres nothin we can do I understand,but enufs enuf,soon they will be able to grab and search anyone at there whim,black days ahead people,glad Ill be dead before it goes to much to shit!!!While you are partially right in various aspects, look at it like this.
Travel has been shown to be a human right, not something our government has to approve. Second, biking/driving/flying are the 3 main modes of transportation. The government has stepped in and said you will NOT fly without going through unconstitutional measures, your privacy invaded and you are sexually assaulted.
This is CLEARLY illegal, yet the TSA is getting away with it while Obama backs them. Another example of them shitting on the Constitution.
Your argument 'you don't have to fly' doesn't make any sense...what if next year they start telling people that to drive now you must go to the DMV, get biometric drivers licenses and be subject to militarized checkpoints on all major highways and roadways? What will you say then? YOU DONT HAVE TO DRIVE...RIDE A BIKE! Then what happens when they start stopping bikers? You have to understand precedents, airport 'security measures' are simply precedents set for the public to OBEY. If you do not OBEY, you will be pillaged (fined) and thrown in prison (cruel and unusual punishment)....
think what you want dude but there's a major difference between being sexually assaulted by the TSA and getting wanded/patted down before entering a bar or strip club...if you connotate the 2 together you got some serious brainwashing to deal with..
“We cannot forget that less than one year ago a suicide bomber with explosives in his underwear tried to bring down a plane over Detroit,” Mr. Pistole said. But apparently you CAN forget that the flight originated in Amsterdam, not New York, that the would-be bomber was a radical Muslim of military age, that he was not a US Citizen, and that his parents had reported him to the CIA as a potential terrorist before the flight. All that and you still failed to keep him off the plane. How will groping kids in America keep the next foreign Muslim radical off a plane bound for the US, Mr.Pistole? This is the wrong technology directed at the wrong target. We want real airline safety, not the illusion of safety your radiation spewing toys provide. We want Israeli-style behavioral profiling and we want it yesterday!
I won the war on terror when I stopped fearing terrorism. I would rather have the Christmas day bomber on my plane then the TSA in my airport. Thats right, I said "the TSA are worse then terrorists". I would rather die with dignity then watch my nation turn to cowardice.
We are doing this because the underwear bomber (Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab) made it onto an airplane. The Nigerian national who:
1) Had NO passport
2) Was on a terror watch list
3) Was on the no-fly list of several (other) countries.
4) Whose own father warned U.S. intelligence of his son's radical indoctrination
5) Who was aided onto the plane by a well dressed Indian man who has "disappeared"
So has Ben Franklin stated, "Any Society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both."
Israelis got it down,PROFILING IS A MUST!!!Fuck the dumb shit!!!
my point, what if the terrorists get un-terrorist looking people to help them? does profiling have a contigency or argument to account for that?
.. we've already insulted their religion flat-out with the "9/11 mosque" pre-election hogwash (what ever happened to that? is it going up then or no? sure seemed pretty important at the time..), and to suggest that we start simply searching everyone who is arabic or islamic-looking in any way, wouldn't that further detriment the "hearts and minds" issue our troops are facing in afghanistan and iraq, and create additional jihadists and islamists?
What I, and several other people, have been advocating is behavioral profiling, which is what the Israelis do. Ethnic profiling is a different story. As far as the 9/11 mosque goes, check out the link. Somehow I don't think it is us who is trying to needlessly inflame people.

LonelyNerd - My comment said absolutely nothing about "them" practicing their religion there. Read the link. Pretty ballsy developer. Take your neg rep and insert it where the scanners can't find it.

in some war rattled countries 10 year old kids blow themselves up all the time. go to Somalia for a week. you'll see 10 year olds carrying ak-47's around and they use them better than you and I could. so i wouldn't put it past Muhammad or some other terrorist to strap a bomb to some 10 year old kid and tell him to walk onto a plane. Lets be realistic they've used planes before, and they train children to kill. its not like im being irrational here.
where i am from adults use kids to sell drugs, carry guns, kill people, etc.
no on forces you to fly. if you think its a violation of your child's rights, drive or take a cruise next year. sorry to sound crude but if my happy little high ass is on a plane i want to be as safe as possible. I'm not talking about sneaking a little weed on a plane either. I don't care about that, but kids shouldn't be used to smuggle drugs, carry bombs, or any shit like that.
