I know that this is a subject which has been discussed to death, but it shows how willing we are as a people to feel safe.

The Constitution no longer matters.
Yes.

Yes.

No.
You might want to look at the 1980's and hijackings and the response to it.

Grandma...really?....I mean really?


7 year old..stripped searched in a crowed public terminal...


6 year old....brought to tears, had on tight fiting clothing making it impossible to hinde anything...yet the searched happend anyway...


3 year old....also brought to tears and had a tantrum because she knew some mouth breathing stranger touching her was wrong and oh yeah, she is three...

there is a bunch of other stories out there too

many of those who are ok with this are a new kind of sheeple...where as the old kind just mindlessly accepted whatever their masters told them, this breed of sheeple seem to go out their way to be controlled.....honestly someone compared this bouncers at a night club....really?...Bouncers make you take your clothes off and get all in your ass?....

these people also like to fancy themselves as "insightful"...they "get it"...they're not mindless like you fox news watchers, they know the system is here to protect you so they don't mind if the TSA and total strangers place their hands on the kids...in-fact you're the idiot for not doing the same so shut up....

I've even seen one you-tube vid of a guy ranting and calling people morons and prunes for getting all upset at the TSA for touching our kids, in-fact he would gladly subject his daughters to this treatment and you'd be an idiot not to...imagine that, a FATHER who would let total strangers place their hands on his daughters.....this guy looked young and had a hipster "ironic" look..and that video had many "likes"... and the comments on the vid showed lots of support for him...he wasn't alone in his view..

now I know traditional/family values isn't "cool" and "hip" but I'll be damned if some mouth breathing idiot is going to touch my family...so I haven't taken a plane since 2008..

I mean back when the TSA and the six year old story broke, those who advocating and defending the "system" didn't see anything wrong...but it confused me...that story was riddled with problems .."they had to search the little girl, the bomb detector went off by her stroller".....wait....WHAT?....you "geniuses" didn't think that this system is so flawed that it can't tell the difference from a bomb and a everyday extremely common item like a stroller?...that thought didn't cross your mind?...instead you jump right to defending this?...you are putting your lives in this system and it isn't even all that accurate and you people call others idiots?....

remember this was when the six year old/TSA story broke news....months ago...so was it really a shock when a Nigerian man boards U.S. flight with invalid pass? (http://www.statesman.com/news/nation/nigerian-man-boards-u-s-flight-with-invalid-1573725.html - broken link)....maybe to the sheeple but not to those who can't be easily lead around like cattle.. it just confirmed what those who have known from the beginning..that it was inaccurate and just stupid...

these people can find it necessary to get into your grandma's diaper but can't check the simple plain info on the pass?...stop buying into something because someone else told you so..you had no reason to fear apple pie middle America families on their way to Disney world...the only reason you fear them now is because the govt told you to....not everyone who disagree with you are idiots and you're not as "smart" as you think you are..

like I said, its like these people are going out their way to be controlled ...

Mulisms blow sh*t up, should we view radical Islam with a bit more Caution?..I mean for the atheist libs they have been going after Christianity for decades...here Islam has flown planes into buildings...can't we at least keep an eye on it?...the same way you people do on Christianity?..."no that's racist, we have to search everyone"....wait, we have to search innocent grandmas as potential terrorist because of Muslim terrorism, but we can't search Muslims as potential terrorist for.......Muslim terrorism?....WHAT?.."its against the Constitution"...wait, that is what he have been saying all along...you people can't come up with a constitutional defense to protect our kids, grandmas, wives, from the TSA, but you can to protect Muslim "feelings"?. being politically correct is suicidal, but at least you at least you get to be "smart" doing it..

and I just got off that thread about lesbians suing a Vermont inn....these people didn't care about the rights of the ones who actual own the Inn, it was all about the "civil rights" of the lesbians...even on the private property of the Innkeepers, somehow their rights supersedes the actual Inn owners.....well, can't you people defend people's civil right to not have their 6 year olds patted down by strangers?... or it isn't that important because all-American families isn't of interest to the politically correct sheeple?
