AWESOME! That is an awesome article. I plan on spreading it around as much as possible. It's brief, to the point, and clarifies why what TSA is doing is so disgusting and objectionable. Even the "anything for security" sheeple can't argue with this.

Thanks for sharing!

Desperation is when once-proud and free Americans like me are reduced to pleading, "Save us, Jesse Ventura, you're our only hope."
Priceless.

Makes me kind of wish we stayed British subjects, especially since our government acts as if the Constitution didn't exist.

ANYONE WANT TO SPECULATE WHAT HAPPENS IF JENNIFER ABLE WERE TO TRY TO FLY INTO THE US. Maybe the no fly list, the extremist list, the let her into the U.S. so we can get our hands on her (and down her pants list).

RadioDad used to say "The American colonies broke with the UK over 'taxation without representation'. Look at the taxation and the representation we've got now - is this an improvement!?" :(

The British had given up theirs by the 19th century and evolved to a system of parliamentary supremacy. At least our Constitution has lasted a bit longer and still exists on paper, occasionally even in practice.

I think that's incredibly funny. Jesse as Obiwan.

And someone (probably a TSAer) posted this comment:

Continued paranoid hysterics from this space on TSA actions. Be sure to highlight every worst-case scenario, post a couple isolated incidents and blanket them over an entire country. Never, ever attempt to understand why they do what they do, just assume the worst intentions and that Americans are stupid/enjoy tyranny.

Just assume we enjoy tyrrany. Wow, that is the worst possible slam for us, isn't it?

Yep. Probably someone from the TSA, as they used the "isolated incident" shibboleth. If they'd used "abundance of caution" in a non-ironic fashion, I'd say "definitely."
