The point is....Obama swam in the gulf as a publicity stunt to show America the gulf is fine, why can't he go through the TSA screening to show us it is okay???
I'm sure that if he knew it meant that much to you, he would. To show you that it's ok, that is.
They can have two terminals at each airport. The one that screens, pats down, x-rays, checks and double checks everyone getting on board, and another that will let anyone and everyone with a ticket just jump on board without any type of security check. Don't want to invade anyone's privacy. I know which line I'll be in, and I know which line the guy with the shoe bomb will be in.
And the next time the President, this one or any other, is in line with you waiting to board a flight, will be the first time. You know that as well as anyone.
Those who have been soiling their pants in hysteria and paranoia are now against the security being implemented to prevent those 'crazy arab muslim terrorists'!
Make all those right wing talk show hosts (that cultivated the paranoia about muslim terrorists) go thru the TSA security checks.

I voted no because...........They would have enough sense to go thruogh the scanners~ ten seconds as opposed to a 5 minute search... like I used to give sailors returning to the ship when in a drug port!
the alternative to hard patdown search was strip search~ conducted immediately!

Reason: add more
Where did you hear it isn't done to children below 12...? I've seen muh younger patted down on the news...
I thought I had read it on an official site a few days ago (I have a child a bit older than 12 that will be traveling with a group and w/o us in a couple months) that 12 and under were excluded from pat downs altogether.
I can't find it now ... all I can find is that they'll be subjected to a "modified pat down".
If I can find it, I'll come back and edit my post.
Americans are being told by everyone in Washington that we must just "suck it up" and accept that we have no choice but to submit to a full-body scan or a groping if we want to fly. And then we find out that not all Americans are created as equally as others and a select group of high-ranking government officials are exempt from having to submit to this outrageous intrusion on their persons. Does anyone really believe that Big Sis has subjected herself to either of these procedures?
