Airport Security

[MrSplitshot]

Is it just me, or do these people on the news whining about airport security need to GET A CLUE?!?!?!

Either go through the body scanner or let the TSA agent give you a pat down...I mean, good grief. This little prick that takes a cell phone video of him telling an agent that "If you touch my junk I'll have you arrested" goes viral online and suddenly this guy's a hero? Please. I'll bet if that agent patting down another passenger that was on his flight found an explosive stuck in their butt crack he would reconsider.

I've always been of the opinion that they can do whatever in the heck they want to do to me at the airport (within reason, of course) to screen me and make sure that I don't have something on my person that I could use to harm others or take down a plane. Screen me all you want. I don't think a professionally initiated pat-down or a body scan is over any kind of privacy line, especially when we're trying to prevent terrorists from doing what they want to do - Bring down planes and kill innocent Americans. I have nothing to hide and will gladly let you search me, because if you're doing it to me that means you're also doing it to others and are more apt to catch some jerk with a bomb. The body scans are in private, the agent is in another room entirely, and the agent never sees who you are or your face anyway.

It's like the clerk at the mall that asks to see your driver's license when you pay with a credit card. I always THANK them for doing that, because if some schmuck had stolen my credit card they might stop him. The same people that bitch and moan for having to show their driver's license at the mall are probably the same ones complaining over a body-scan or a pat down at the airport. I say....GET A CLUE!!! Do us all a favor and step your ass out of line, walk out to Avis/Hertz/Budget, rent yourself a car, and drive wherever you're going. You are probably one of the rude, self-absorbed, me-me-me, obnoxious ones that makes everything difficult anyway...I really don't want to be around you anyway.

Shew! Makes me more aggravated then a deaf mute playing bingo, getting bingo, and trying to holler bingo.

My favorite quote:

"You touch my junk, and I'll have you arrested."

If that guy is that bent out a shape about that take the train or Greyhound. I would strip all the way down and it would not bother me. The last time I flew, I got searched. I thanked the guy for doing his job of keeping me safe and you could almost knock the guy over. He could not believe someone would thank him.

Been recently patted down at Bluegrass Airport...no biggie. Had shoes sniffed or whatever they do as well....no biggie. I agree make it safe but in this goofy world of feelings and political correctness we have to toss common sense out the window.

Put these idiots on a no fly list!Heck they can strip search me any time,and pass me through explosive sniffers,metal detectors, what ever. But for a trip of less than 600 miles I'll drive.

What about children? Should the TSA be able to feel up your kids?

Whats next? Body scanners/ pat downs at football games, the mall?

It is a thing called Civil Liberties.

You think the people of any other non TERRORIST SCARED nations would put up with this? You think their going to have pat downs and body scanners in Israel?
Non American muslims get scanned and patted. But muslim women are fighting to not even have to move their bercha/Vail! hypocrisy

What if they do find a bomb shoved up someones butt? Will we all be subject to full cavity searches?


Underwear bomber! lol Do you believe the UNDERWEAR BOMBER story?
To me their is not a more hilarious title than underwear bomber.
Some dude lit his balls on fire because he hates our freedoms that much. lol
hoax, all the info is online proving how this was all set up to push for more security. Don't take my word go look for yourself.

If your so afraid to fly due to so called terrorism, and think we should all put aside our civil liberties to fly.....Well just maybe your the ones that shouldn't fly and take a bus!

Just because some people are afraid of the boogey men, do all the others of us have to sit on the sideline watching the system of the beast takeover

Body scanners,if I remember correctly put off 10x more radiation than the average X-ray machine.
Hello, not only are we being scanned but were also being radiated.

Edit....
Non muslim, Americans get scanned and patted. But American muslim women are fighting to not even have to move their bercha/Vail! hypocrisy

I just think of the TSA as my friends with benefits

It's disappointing they never call the next day, though.

In all seriousness, I fall a bit on the other side with this one. I think the government is starting to overstep its bounds here.

I also wonder if the real reason that we're now being subjected to these scanners is because some government official's buddy has some big government contract to produce them (yes, I think our government is that corrupt)

"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be."

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety


Imagine the German citizens during the Holocaust....
Is that likely how American citizens will be viewed in future history? A bunch of brainwashed sheep afraid to look past the propaganda to the other side of the story.

LOL!!
Come on Bob you have to admit the country has a pretty good reason to be paranoid. So maybe as a country we want too much protection at times and it goes to far (by some opinions) so we back off and go with less preventative measures and then it's not enough.

I would still rather have pat downs, dogs sniffing, electronic sniffers, profiling (), shoe checks and general security measures than nothing at all. It's your choice to fly so if you do you gotta play by the rules. JMO

Don you hit the nail on the head. I think comparing this to the Holocaust is like comparing apples to Trains.
