I am certain I am also not carrying a bomb but that doesnt exclude me from this.

I wonder, what will be the next manufactured hysteria to arise from the TPers and Republicans after the TSA scanner/pat-down 'outrage' nonsense dies down?

( I wont get an answer but hey I asked)
Assuming you're a natural US citizen and at least 35, you had the exact same opportunity to become POTUS and fly Air Force One as anyone else.

Well especially considering that Sarah Palin wants the US to stand by our "ally" North Korea

Someone needs to grab Obama's balls and grope his family. Or open his bumhole with a flashlight if he refuses the patdown or microwave room.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. I am so sick of politicians creating burdensome laws that they know that they would never follow.

Do you realize that going through the scanners does not automatically clear you from being patted down? If anything is found in the scan, YOU WILL be patted down and per the new procedures, have your genitalia searched. This could include pads and tampons worn by menstruating women ... They may have to show evidence that they are not wearing any explosive devices. Ever think of that?
