Lol, the folks complaining are probably like that Brit. It annoys me to hear them constantly complain about liberty, freedom, rights, the constituition etc.
I wish they would get this into their thick skulls that 9/11 changed our world and there are no rights at the checkpoint. To those people who whine and complain: Shut your mouth, take off your shoes and get in line like everyone else!
Take your hands off my junk....
James Madison foresaw the TSA
"I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." - James Madison
In reply to the OP, we had Security before we had the TSA. Yes, delete the TSA. They can all be allowed jobs with Big Sis at Homeland, so-called Security.
I've suggested that we're all just one loaded-tampon away from some nut in FEMA or Homeland Security actually daring to suggest GYN stirrups at airports, someday.
Now, we have a newsstory of some criminals trying to blow-up an auto with flaming tampons.
It seems that a common theme is that the TSA is a bunch of goose-stepping Nazis bent on taking away our freedom. So...what should the alternative look like? Should we can the whole thing and just let anyone with a ticket get on the plane, no questions asked? Or should we go back to the same security setup that let those guys with box cutters onto planes? What's the better setup?
Maybe do a little bit better research on people entering our country. These hijackers should have been identified by our government long before they ever got on a plane.
So true, Luke. It sure didn't take long for the govt. to have their names and pics plastered all over national news.
