"This shocking breach undercuts the public's confidence in the security procedures at our airports," said Senator Susan Collins, R-Me... [More]Susan, stop being an idiot, or at least shut up and stop letting everyone know you are one. Good grief, no wonder the Republicans are in such a mess, with pompous statist shills like you in the "leadership"
I remember one of the TSA goons screaming at passengers with his condescending "Come on boys and girls" bullying while trying to get my family through the gate in Kansas City some years back, and thinking to myself that under any other circumstances, the obnoxious incompetent would have been knocked on his ass in no time. And probably stomped in the groin, just because he was such a dick.
You don't think anyone with serious terrorist training is going to look on these parasites with anything but contempt...? Both for them and for a people who would put them in a position of such transparently unmerited authority...?
"The public's confidence..."
TSA is nothing but security theater designed to bully citizens into submission to any puke with a badge, at any time, for any reason or no reason at all.
ReplyDeleteThe real bad guys are smiling and waving as they waltz in and out the back doors.
And now the TSA poltroons have an excuse to pound the citizens even harder to make up for this faux pas. Hmmm, maybe this was not an unintended leak?
You're not for more terrorism...are you? You do agree that we must do something about terrorism...don't you?
ReplyDeleteOK then. That settles it!
Shut up and comply!
I don't know who is more clueless - Boxer or Collins.
ReplyDeletePut them in a bag and shake them up and they will come out stuck together
TSA = Thousands Standing Around
ReplyDeleteAnother stripe of law enforcement tax parsites and state sponsored domestic terrorists.
Trust me, law enforcement officers are dusgusted by these TSA toadies. In fact, the screeners usually give cops traveling by air a hard time, worse than if they were potential terrorists. These bums will be the basis for the Brown Shirts when the administration brings them out of the closet.
ReplyDeleteThis individual part of "the public" has zero confidence in the "security procedures" at airports since they insist on disarming the first line of defense against terrorism.
ReplyDeleteI think it was deliberate. If the "secret" TSA playbook is revealed to the world "accidentally," then they have to go to the next level of invasion of privacy and dignity, don't they? Internal passports, anyone? Soft X-ray body contour scanners even AFTER you've been magnetometered... Iris scans and facial recognition and fingerprints, oh my, or no fly? "Gattaca," hello.
ReplyDeleteThis way, they get to "lay off" excess staff -- looks good in the budget office -- AND crack down on the traveling -- and ride-to-the-airport -- public.. Government win-win situation.
I pray I'm paranoid, really I do. But I've seen them in action, the tender concern they showed a decorated WWII vet with a letter from hi surgeon about a recent knee replacement. Get out of that wheelchair and walk through the arch. Did they say "sir"? Uh, no.
Their shirts should be Brown.
America's huge numbers of commies love the Brown Shirts, makes the commies look less communistic.
ReplyDeleteKent, you're not included in "the public". When a statist utters this phrase, it is a euphemism for "members of the central government".
ReplyDeleteGood point, TJ. As Orwell taught us, there's the inner party, the outer party who exist to keep the inner paty in power, and the proles, who don't matter at all.
ReplyDeleteObama gets his Nobel Peace Prize today. Socialized medicine and the near-total control of the economy and privacy it will bring, another "Endless War" that was SOOOO awful when it was BUSH'S, and the micromanaging of lives that is the global warming scam.
I long for the return of the Clintons. Almost.
Good old TSA. I can't get the wonderful time my wife and I had once and thanks to TSA. My wife is slim, fit and cute. This greasy freak with coke bottle think glasses had to check her carry on bag. He went straight for her underwear, I shit you not. My wife got it right away looking at me with the look of, do you believe this. I just nodded slowly and gave her the eye to stay calm. While this was going on at the very same time four (4) young Middle-East men with smoke coming out of their pants just passed on through as if they were nuns. I have only flown one time after that to race back and see my big brother's wife, my sister-in-law before she passes on. I will push a nickel down the middle of the road for a thousand miles before I will fly. If the airlines go out of business, so be it.
ReplyDeleteTruthfully, it does NOT "undercut my confidence". I don't have any confidence in TSA, or most any other government agency outside the military.
