A lot of people had trouble passing tests in their life, and probably "feel delighted" to be able to pass the TSA tests.

I'm thinking it might be some kinda Patriot High.

Now THAT is a beautiful post ergo.


C-D's 'spread rep around' notice for me about you, so I'm pleased to offer you a more public rep point for this in lieu of the private one.

First, my breasts ain't the deal, I'm male, but the freedoms lost. I guess you have never gone to war to defend your, but I have, as have millions of others, and it wasn't so the cowards could make the effort null and void by surrendering freedoms willingly.

There has been no plane incident since 9-11. Obviously, whatever they were doing before was sufficient.
you make no freaking sense. Say that to the family of those who were on those planes or those towers. It's not like they are gonna be grabbing your breast or your nipples like when you are having sex. Comparing rape to a patdown is very offensive to those people who have been rape victims.

You weren't fighting for your freedoms.

You were fighting for your Government.

And now, your Government is paying you back.

I hope I never have to fly. They are not doing this to people who go on cruise ships are they? I think the whole thing is just crazy. Every passenger that goes on those flights is being treated like a criminal and people in this country who should not be are being treated better than our own citizens. When is this going to stop?

I dont think you went to war to protect my not so virgin breasts. I travelled to other countries and have had those patdowns numerous times. They are gonna be careful in this country cause we are a nation of whiners and neuronics. It's not the end of the world, it's not rape, it's not traumatic.

I think that some woman might disagree with that. Some women are very modest and might feel violated. It's really very subjective. You make no sense. I'm not talking about the 9-11 tragedy. I am saying that there was already a procedure in place that seemed to work since there were obviously no other attacks since 9-11. So why bring the gropers into the process?
I wish that some terrorist would find a way to hide some bombs in their nutsac and get through the gropers just to prove that they are really just wasting our time.

Just because you like to be groped doesn't mean that others may want to be. From your experiences, which other countries put people through the battery of nuisances that this one does?

when was the last time you took a flight? I took one a week ago and I wasn't treated like a criminal.
