Are you still flying?

I used to enjoy flying. Not anymore. Between the invasive X-rays whose safety is unproven (airline professionals are warned by their unions to decline to go through them) and the offense and indignity of being forced to be felt up by TSA, I'm done. I'd rather spend three days driving than getting on a plane. And it appears I'm not the only one. Let's hear it for one more successful job-killing strategy of the Obama administration. Is this nonsense really making us safer? What really amazes me, though, is the number of sheep who will go along with this.

Are Ridiculous Airport Security Measures Killing Airline Profits?

TSA Gropes 6-Year-Old Girl in New Orleans

This is sick! We have "safe touch" programs in schools where children are told no one should touch them in areas covered by a bathing suit. Then a TSA agent is allowed to grope a little girl, feel inside her pants, touch her bottom and between her legs. This is illegal! Parents need to stand up to this and just say no and then sue TSA for child abuse. We need a class action lawsuit against this. What could that little girl possibly have been hiding in her hair? If we continue to allow this, what abomination will be next?

While Blue-Shirted TSA Agents Grope and X-Ray Passengers, Cargo Gets Almost No Scrutiny

Head of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, recently told Bloomberg Television that cargo stored in the holds of airplanes gets little scrutiny. “Ordering 100 percent screening for air cargo is an easy thing to say, but it's probably not the best way to go. Cargo is infinitely more complicated and comes in infinitely more shapes and sizes than passengers." So, what are we to make of this. Terrorizing little children, sexually molesting women, and fondling the crotches of men including the elderly is what will actually make us safe?

Don't be too sure of that. At East Midlands Airport on October 29th British intelligence uncovered and disabled a bomb shipped from Yemen aboard a cargo plane. It was set to go off over the eastern seaboard of the U.S. and was removed from the plane three hours before it was set to go off. The French Interior Minister said the bomb was deactivated only seventeen minutes before planned detonation.  Now all this raises questions about the security aboard passenger flights. Exactly how carefully are luggage and packages screened at the airport and what's the chance of a bomb making it aboard your flight? Pretty significant, as a matter of fact. Watch the video below. Napolitano said that to inspect all cargo would require treaties with many countries. The British said that only packages originating in England are inspected because they accept the security procedures of other countries. In the wake of the bomb plot, however, the Brits have suspended cargo from Yemen and unaccompanied cargo from Somalia.




But the gropes and X-rays go on and some passengers are actually being arrested for refusing to cooperate in their molestation. San Diego resident Sam Wolanyk was arrested after he opted out of the X-ray and refused the pat down. Instead he took off his clothes. Underneath, he was wearing Calvin Klein Biker shorts and top which he said, “left nothing to the imagination. But that wasn’t enough for the TSA supervisor who was called to the scene and asked me to put my clothes on so I could be properly patted down.” Wolanyk was arrested by Harbor Police for two misdemeanors: violating code 7.01, failing to complete the security process and 7.14 (a) illegally recording the San Diego Airport Authority (on his i-phone).

So let's all repeat together. Homeland Security must X-ray and grope us to protect us from terrorists. And we must submit like good little lemmings obeying the elites who give the blue shirts their power over us. We are all potential terrorists. Meanwhile, Janet Napolitano will not say whether Muslim women will have to go through full body patdowns. There will be "adjustments" and "more to come." So will Muslim women in hajibs get to pat themselves down? Who knows?

And a big question looms over all this. Is it really about safety? Or is it about intimidating Americans to give up their constitutional freedoms and cooperate with police state tactics under the guise of security?
