Bob has been truly brainwashed (Blog post about Pre✓)

My comment, pending approval --
EDIT: I now see that it was our favorite spokeshole Lisa Farbstein who wrote this drivel.
My comment, pending approval --
Bob, the idea that by paying $100 a citizen can have a shot at having one's Fourth Amendment rights better preserved at an airport -- notice that I say a shot, because as you have repeatedly told us, there is no guarantee of expedited screening -- is an insult to the meaning of this country.
Let me guess: I bet that yesterday, you were one of those flag-waving "patriots" squealing, "I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free."
You know how people say, "Freedom isn't free"? The TSA brings new meaning to that saying.
Your employer is an insult too this country's very core. And by accepting a paycheck from said employer, you are a part of the problem.
I don't know whether you will post this comment, but maybe it will get you to start thinking about the disgusting government agency known as the TSA.

I feel for Bob sometimes, I really do. I can't believe that the guy believes all the drivel he posts, but even if that's true, he works for the ultimate "toe the company line" organization. Then again, the fact that he still works there suggests that he either believes it, or he believes in the (probably substantial) paycheck he gets for being a company sycophant.

If you see me in an airport, be sure to say hi.
Anyway, I would be in the "less equal" citizens' line-up.

Recently I met a military retiree working as a TSO. He served working on military nuclear technology and even he doesn't believe DHS' own radiation/lack of radiation tests. He had some surprisingly intelligent arguments that would fit well in our NoS criticisms. This guy's been with TSA since day one, and he admits he was desperate for a job to care for ill family. I don't know how he does it. I can't deal with them for ten minutes prior to boarding a flight, let alone for a job.
