A nation of sheep, we are not going to stand up or fight back. They have what used to be our money, they shipped our jobs out of the country, now they're busy taking our rights.
There will be no revolution. We're all too busy watching American Idol or Survivor.
I remember America, but it's been gone for a while.

I have watched videos of the TSA groping tight jeans ...up and down then again for good measure oh yes and one more time. I am thinking...what are they looking for? Those jeans are so tight I am surprised legs are in them! There comes a point people, we need to stand up to this before it's too late. If it's not already.

the really funny one is when someone is patting down bare skin. huh?

A little-known bonus of the afro hairstyle is the extra storage it affords the person on the go.

"We" are not a nation of sheep. Most people are unaware of what is happening in the activities of the government but I wouldn't call us a nation of the unaware.

There are many sheepdogs around. Believe it.

About "behavior detection":

I don't buy it.

Think about this. The serene nun glides through the terminal. The man with a birth defect hobbles along. You can't even tell where some of these people are looking.

I watch people for entertainment when I wait at terminals. I've had the opportunity to talk to more than a few actors, magicians and other performers, and they not only know all sorts of tricks, they have all kinds of different capabilities.

If a dancer in Atlanta has an MFA, speaks French and German and plays violin, how the hell do you tell all that by looking?

How many people thought Ted Bundy couldn't possibly be a murderer? He's just too handsome!

And don't forget the great equalizer. Three shots of good rum as you get out of the car will alter your behavior for an hour or so. You'll just look like another tipsy traveler...

...to the "behavior specialist" who's been told not to look at swarthy Middle Eastern men!

Now, maybe a few agents have a gift. The hiring practices at TSA don't screen for that. If there are competent observers in the crowd of agents, it's by chance.

Chasing down a woman to search her hair is pointless.

The hijacking and the attacks on the WTC and Mordor on the Potomac were a one time operation that will never be repeated. The theater that is going on now will do nothing to prevent another similar attempt.

I'm going to repeat this until all the idiots who support the TSA get it.

The TSA was not needed less than 70 minutes after the crash into the Tower 2.

If the government had come down with the simple mandate -- the airlines need to provide more security for their aircraft and passengers -- and not mandated the TSA -- the airlines would have done it. It could be anything from issuing Tazers to every passenger to everyone has to travel in throwaway paper garments to submitting to a background check. The airlines can no more afford to lose multimillion dollar aircraft than passengers can afford to lose their lives.

If you want to give up your Fourth Amendment rights to travel across the country, that is your choice. Demanding that everyone else give away those rights to a quasi-government agency that is not a true part of law enforcement -- You can go to hell! Do not pass Go! Do not collect $200!

9:02:59: Flight 175 crashes at about 590 mph (950 km/h) into the south face of the South Tower (2 WTC) of the World Trade Center, banked between floors 77 and 85.[11] By this time, several media organizations, including the three major broadcast networks (who have interrupted their morning shows), are covering the first plane crash—millions see the impact live. Parts of the plane leave the building from its east and north sides, falling to the ground six blocks away.

9:57: Passenger revolt begins on Flight 93.

10:03:11: United Airlines Flight 93 is crashed by its hijackers and passengers, due to fighting in the cockpit 80 miles (129 km) southeast of Pittsburgh in Somerset County, Pennsylvania.[20] Later reports indicate that passengers had learned about the World Trade Center and Pentagon crashes on cell phones and at least three were planning on resisting the hijackers; the resistance was confirmed by Flight 93's cockpit voice recording, on which the hijackers are heard making their decision to down the plane before the passengers succeed in breaching the cockpit door. The 9/11 Commission believed that Flight 93's target was either the United States Capitol building or the White House in Washington, D.C.[21]

Oh, a small P.S. the shoe bomber and the panty bomber didn't go through the TSA. Take a guess who stopped them?

The other unarmed passengers.

Meanwhile the TSA was responsible for allowing a passenger to board a plane with a college ID and a bogus boarding pass.

Another TSA agent rape charge (statutory, this time):

http://www.infowars.com/another-tsa-employee-accused-of-rape/

A TSA molester RUNNING after a woman to check her hair, when she's already passed the screening. It's like they're LOOKING to make trouble.

These perverts should be glad people don't do the tar-and-feathers thing anymore!

I am going to disagree a slight with the above situation. Big hair is a security risk. I have seen a video from a reality series of a women who had some very coiffed hair that may have been a wig who was attempting to smuggle drugs. Also have heard of people who have smuggled animals in elaborate rigs in clothes. So pat downs are slightly needed. BUT....

Still the security risk is mostly with smuggling and drugs. Getting a bomb or a knife in an afro or a bee hive hairdo is still a little difficult. Which can be found with a metal detector. Plus any bomb that could be hidden in hair would need to be pretty effective.

What is needed is common sense.

Checking hair would be useful but it would be better off to check in destination country by its customs.

Also not every big haired lady probably needs to be checked. If some other aspect comes like passenger has a one way ticket or is going to a place for a short time. Even profiling of looks has its part. But common sense still.

Something I couldn't write about at work, where I made the previous comment, but I'm thinking of writing a collection of short stories set in the near future, where some language sneaked into one of those godawful 2000-page bills, indulged in by Congress from time to time, gives the TSA free reign over the country.

They begin molesting people at highway rest stops, hotels, restaurants and anyplace else having travelers. Americans take up arms and begin to fight back, and yes, I mean that literally.

What's really scary is that such a scenario may turn out to be not far from the truth!

I have seen a video from a reality series of a women who had some very coiffed hair that may have been a wig who was attempting to smuggle drugs. Also have heard of people who have smuggled animals in elaborate rigs in clothes.

Smuggling animals in your clothes happens so rarely that it's not worth the cost, financially and to our national psychology, to worry about it seriously. Drugs aren't a threat to passenger safety and should not be a concern of the TSA. Neither is smuggling animals on the plane, actually, unless she happens to be smuggling motherfucking snakes on the motherfucking plane.

Petition to abolish the TSA, and use its monstrous budget to fund more sophisticated, less intrusive counter-terrorism intelligence:
