They know they can't defend absurdity. They know they can do nothing to change it and they are frustrated by that. So they stoop to threats and thugery. Typical traits of a bully.

They know they cannot change what they complain about, nor can they effect any changes. Yet they continue to vent their frustrations on those who also cannot effect the changes they desire. So they stoop to name calling and bullying. In an attempt to appear "heroic" they use quotes by our forefathers to make their posts appear more legitimate. Such pathetic displays are easily seen for what they are, a cry for help. These poor individuals should be pitied, not shunned, for they cannot help themselves.

Don't take life too seriously, afterall, you won't get out alive.

...invite still stands, whether you equate it with thugary or whatever, to call me a nazi , communist, to my face(somehow i am not too worried about that happening, because cowards such as yourself are more than willing to pass gas in anonymity but extremely seldom have the cajones to back up what they say)...

personally, i don't care what you say or feel about the TSA procedures(some of which i agree with and some i don't)-just criticism is appropriate and can sometimes be constructive(tho little of what you say on this board is remotely useful)as airport screening will always be here in some form or fashion-understand, your recent posts have exposed you as someone who doesn't like authority in any shape or form, so it doesn't matter how the screening is done, you will never be happy with it, whether done by feds or private.

...but even in a free country, characterizing persons and groups of people who have and are serving their country in ways that you are unwilling and probably have never been willing to do is evidence of the small and scurvious person that you and your ilk are...

The is no way the TSA can stop all terrorists.I am not even going to pretend it can. The frequent flyers have to fly for their jobs so they are not going to stop. The occational flyer is who needs to be lured back, they fly because they WANT to, nobody is forcing them, and they pay premium prices to do that. Corporate accounts can get discounts to ofset their costs. When the 9-11 tragedy happened tose were the people who freaked out and canceled their flights, and those are the ones who need reassuring so they will fly again, and spend money. It seems to be working as AA has recalled 345 flt. attendants and added 40 flights right before the holidays. It was a governement bail out as it was to keep the airlines from going belly up.Can you say "big business"? The only ones who seem inconvienenced by the security screeners are the frequent flyers, sorry fellas.

.. in ignore the idiots mode.

...mike, let me know when you have something intellegent and constructive to post about airport security...

...and i suspect that you don't even know what a lemming(this is the proper spelling, btw) is....lol

...and where in any of my posts did you read where i threatened to beat up anyone????Oh, i suspect it must be thru your special "leeming" x ray between the lines glasses....

So the new boy has spell check. Big deal.

He read 'between' your lines Mr. Bully. Please reference all Nazi accusations made.

yassir, them special x ray between the lines glasses come in REEEEAAALLLLL handy...lol

... and the invite remains...or is that sweat i see on your forehead-i don't make threats, i don't pick fights, and if i'm a bully(which i'm not), i'd rather be a bully than a coward, esp one that cries and whines all the time(and it's just not you, greg)...

Do you think it was better before? You really need to be enlightened...

By the way, the airlines pick the selectees, not TSA...

It is NO better now than it was on 9/10/2001.

As for blaming the airlines for the selectees, that is a COP-OUT. The airlines are FORCED to provide selectees by the TSA.

I have to congratulate you CarmelGreg, once again you have shown your total ignorance of the facts. We at TSA DO NOT pick the selectees. In fact they are picked by an FAA program. If the individual meets certain criteria then they are on the selectee list.
If one of the criteria were to pick cry baby whiners then you would be on every list for selectees that comes out. ;-)

ignore the idiots mode.

...i'm trying to, mike, but you just keep posting and posting...

Yes, lets leave all the posting to those nattering nabobs of negativity so they can pat themselves on the back on their crushing of dissent. Afterall, anyone who disagrees with them is wrong, un-american, and either a communist, a jack-booted thug or a goon. Now if they can just define what a "true" American or a real "Patriot" is, then maybe they might get somewhere. Fortunately this is a public forum and everyone who follows the TOS is permitted to post whatever they so desire. Those who would stifle anyone can hardly be called a "Patriot" or a "true" American.

...just out of curiosity, and looking at the world thru the eyes of greg, spiff and mike, wouldn't the restrictions of a TOS be considered an abridgement of one's God given and Constitutionally protected freedom of speech rights????

...just a thought...
