TSA Wants You To Know That They'll Probably Ignore The First Amendment
Here's the audio -- on video:
Paul Joseph Watson writes at InfoWars:
While traveling through George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Matt Miller heard a security announcement repeatedly aired on the airport intercom that left him disturbed."You are also reminded that any inappropriate remarks or jokes concerning security may result in your arrest," the loudspeaker message states.
These new loudspeaker warnings remind us that the TSA continues to excel at indoctrinating Americans to be well-behaved prisoners via obedience training - reminding them that they can be disappeared if they dare speak out of turn, even in a humorous way.
This is a totally unlawful and illegitimate violation of the First Amendment and is obviously designed to intimidate travelers and stop them from complaining about aggressive grope downs which in some cases involve TSA workers touching travelers' genitals.
The message is clear - grovel and enjoy your genitals being groped or face arrest.
The prospect of travelers cracking jokes about airport security procedures is by no means unlikely given the increasing absurdity of the policies being enforced by the TSA.
As we reported last year, perhaps the mose ludicrous example is the TSA's "freeze" policy, where travelers are ordered to stand in place like statues while TSA agents resolve some unexplained security threat.

I remember Logan's Run was just a corny science fiction movie with Farrah Fawcett.

Umm, no. Jenny Agutter.

Farrah was not a main character, but she was in it and the reason I and many others wanted to see it.

What do you think would happen if somebody asked, mid-grope, "How much for a happy ending?"

It'll be like Oliver Cromwell. After they kill you, they'll dig up your body, put it on trial again, convict it, and then execute it again just to be on the safe side.

There were always signs in airports about not making jokes about bombs even before 9/11.

It's still tempting, nevertheless...

If I never fly again, I won't miss it.

"If I never fly again, I won't miss it."
Hey, Boeing! Hey, Airbus! Do you hear what this guy is saying? How many other people are saying it? Hell, how many of your own employees are saying it? Hey Delta, United, American! How many of the routes you used to fly are no longer viable? How much is your route structure shrinking? Have you stopped to think about why that may be happening? Have you wondered why the thrill and adventure of flying doesn't seem to entice people any more? Where is your market going? Do you realize it, do you know, do you care? Aren't you even a little bit curious about what's happening to your business? Or do you just figure that a generous government subsidy will cover it when the time comes?

@CD,
My company was bought by a new company about 15 months ago. As I had my "interview" with the new company I stipulated a few things.
The HR representative then said "I agree to it all." The next statement was "We want to talk to you in a few hours from now about working in converting the old software to ours."
The new company is great. And I am going to hold them to it. I will drive to the Toronto area (about eight hours). If someone objects I will remind them of the agreement. Otherwise I will find a new job. Want to take a bet on the decision?
And we need more rants like yours. We also need more companies saying the same thing.

Grovel and enjoy your genitals being touched? Usually that involves a couple of hours of calling numbers from Craigslist, first, and a trip to the ATM.
I teach my kids to say "Candy First!" and "Hey! You don't even look like a priest!"
