If you are disabled do not fly unless you want to be humiliated
 
Agent Smith getting his rocks off humiliating a traveler with a urostomy bag.

“I am a good American and I want safety for all passengers as much as the next person," Sawyer said. "But if this country is going to sacrifice treating people like human beings in the name of safety, then we have already lost the war.”

Nothing is ever going to change with regard to the TSA.

Most people think they are doing a fantastic job "keeping us safe".

Until that mentality changes, nothing will change............in fact, it will probably get worse.

You cannot even go into those new whole body scanners with your boarding pass in your pocket.............talk about stupid.

What's the old quote?....... "Those willing to sacrifice liberty in exchange for security deserve neither" Or something like that.

Yep, and the small bit of "security" is provided with a massive reduction in liberties.

Some of the stories that Jake has been posting recently really bring this point home.

The Gestapo lives and walks amongst all of us. Your neighbors are watching, video taping, photographing and keeping a written log of all your comings and goings. On the weekends they are turning the information over to the local Gestapo. In exchange for the information and in appreciation for their ratting you out, the Gestapo gives them thirty silver dollars.

All in the interest of 'public safety', of course.

"Hello FBI...........I saw this character by the name of 'HuskyMan' acting suspiciously and carrying huge amounts of fertilizer and 55 gallon drums into his garage today. Maybe you ought to check him out?"


Expect your door blown in any minute.................:rolleyes:

Don't forget to tell them I have a mercedes 300D full of diesel fuel. Also, when I press on the accelerator the car spews out a suspicious black cloud of smoke from the exhaust pipe........scary stuff..........:eek:

He looked like your run of the mill terrorist to me. And how about no response from a TSA supervisor, a pro basketball player announces he is gay and gets an instant reply from the pres. and FLOTUS. I have no idea what the priorities are today but I do not care for them. Actually while typing the previous sentence I remembered where the priorities are, getting votes and appeasing some demographic more so then doing the right thing.
