daily TSA f#$k-up thread

Following that assinine line of reasoning, Cavity searches should be OK, just because someone at the TSA disides it should be so! (we REALLY need that eye rolly gif)

I'll go ahead and skip discussing this further with you since you've lowered yourself to insulting undertones in your replies. When you want to talk like a grown up come find me.

chuckling - live in a house of mirrors, do you?

But if individual rights are so scary for you, there are many countries you can live in where they free you of that burden. Here we have a Constitution and a Supreme Court. Both protect your privacy, and right against improper search.

Was it Homeland Security that discovered the largest stash of PETN last week? Or were they the ones that investigated and signed off on the naturalization papers of the guy that mixed it?

Now THAT statement should cause people to pause and think.

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated."

Nothing there that says "unless you want to fly in an airplane."

In some cases (Alaska) there are no other practical forms of transportation available for large parts of the year. So unless you are willing to give up your Fourth Amendment rights you cannot travel.

In other places you do indeed have an option. However, personally I do not believe that the US government should systematically strip a large chunk of the public's right to privacy. I think that's a mistake. It's a bad precedent to set for a system that has not shown any utility in stopping terrorism.

Great! Hire someone to grope your balls if it lets you sleep at night. However, your fear does not justify the groping of others.

Better to focus on "violated".
