More government only hurts normal, sane people. Do you honestly think the criminals give a rat's a$$ about airport security, gun laws, or anything like that? They could care less because they will find a way around it. Just a few weeks ago a Nigerian man snuck on to several flights with fake boarding passes. A stun gun was found on a Delta flight. In the mean time, us normal people get to be groped, have our boobs touched by strangers, and have a stranger take pictures of our naked bodies.

The news reported on a threat issued by one terrorist group where they are now threatening to put bombs up their body parts. Like I said, they will find a way around anything the government tries while us normal people can live under tyranny.

We need dogs in the airports. Border patrol and cops have used dogs to sniff for explosives and drugs for years. If dogs weren't effective, then they wouldn't be using them. Why not use them at the airport and get rid of those stupid machines?

You've got that backwards, cowboy. Try again.

Is the OP stating that everyone in government does the same thing?
I'm not sure what the purpose of this thread is.

There is no TSA Police. Anywho, as usual, I suspect there's more to the story.

Was anybody fired or does that only happen when James O'Keefe releases a video? Did the TSA do anything at all beyond saying those goons were doing a great job.

Even if she was being uncooperative, even if she was in fact attacking them, she was one girl against how many guys? Does she have a 10th degree black belt in karate or something?

If those goons haven't been fired and had criminal charges levied against them then this is still current news which should have and should remain current and never forgotten. It should be brought up during every budget when the TSA asks for more money,

The article is also dated today and the footage wasn't released immediately.
There's a statute of limitations for aggravated assault and battery?

If the more is that they were fired and criminal charges filed then OK. If the more is anything that starts with "but the girl" then NO. I don't care what she did. If a group of guys can't handle one girl they have no business being there.
