Another Pissy Interview: USA Today

More garbage from the mouth of Pissy. The comments are worth reading. Here are some samples:

If more thorough pat downs were needed as a result of what happened last Christmas, why did it take almost a year to get this in place? I don't believe this for one second and I think this is a gross violation of our rights.
So one guy can determine what we need to do to keep us safe? I thought the government worked for us?
I will not fly anymore becuase of this....period end of story.
>>TSA chief: No plans to go beyond enhanced pat-downs<<

He's lying.
...and...

Does anybody know if Pistole uses Just for Men? maybe that's whats affecting his brain cells.

"Q: How has this affected the morale of TSA agents and people who are on the front lines?

A: I've talked to a number of the federal security directors — we have 120 of those around the country — and almost to a person they say the workforce has been energized by this. They have a sense of mission. They were hearing from travelers in a way they haven't heard much. People were saying, 'Thank you for what you're doing.' "

Were the ones he heard people who had not been groped in many decades? The mind boggles.

Tells me a lot about the FSD's.

Oh, that's right. NOOD was actually "National TSA Appreciation Day," complete with Blogger Bob and others pimping out children to hold WE LOVE THE TSA signs and roping off scanners so the TSA could say that no one opted out of the scanners because everyone loves and trusts and adores the TSA.

Meanwhile, about those scanner images that were ready to grace the cover of Reader's Digest...

Over 400 airports, and only 120 FSDs?

Are some FSDs directing multiple airports?

For instance, is FNT handled by the FSD for DTW?

Q: Do the people who make the decisions about who gets randomly screened have room to exercise common sense?

A: Well, sure.
The questions should have been "Do the people who make the decisions about who gets randomly screened know what common sense is?"



Q: Are you confident in the safety of scanning technology? Several independent scientists still have voiced concerns.

A: I have complete confidence in the results I have seen, but I also welcome critics out there who can do an independent assessment. If we are using technology that is causing harm rather than keeping people safe, I'm the first one who wants to know about that.
bull $#%!
