Surprisingly I don't know ANYONE who "supports the TSA". Not a liberal, not an Obama supporter, nobody.

Ceece, they're all around you. Just open your eyes. I don't know how you can miss a TSA supporter.

4th Amendment? How is that relevant in this case?

Do all of the TSA hating tinfoil warriors think that citizens should have the right to express their frustration with all laws directly to any law enforcement officers within earshot? Or just the laws that you don't agree with?

Should I be able to yell and scream for 30 minutes at the cop that is trying to give me a speeding ticket without any punishment?

Not that you really care about facts, but it mainly deals with consent vs. non consent. Add a dash of probable cause issues and racial profiling into the mix also.

I don't know anyone who supports the TSA, either. Nobody. Security theater doesn't protect the masses, it only enriches those who supply it.

Disorderly conduct, not a stretch, although I disagree with the charge.

Perhaps I'm just being a little slow today, but would you mind pointing one out so we can identify them?

I don't like a whole lot of laws, but otoh if I choose to break them I'm not going to stamp my feet about it.

A security pat-down at an airport seems rather low on the list of things I would break the law to protest.

Not to mention the woman's comments about "pedophiles" reveal her to be a flagrant idiot.

gomexico's posting history is that of a juvenile looking for a reaction, more than adding salient thoughts to the conversation.

BTW... you know those scanning machines that are safe?

CHICAGO (AP) — The federal government is quietly removing full-body X-ray scanners from seven major airports and replacing them with a different type of machine that produces a cartoon-like outline instead of the naked images that have been compared to a virtual strip search.

Metro - TSA replacing controversial body scanners with less invasive 'millimeter wave'

My take: The TSA is quietly replacing all of them, because in fact they are not safe.

Sucks to be anyone that passed through those radiation kill zones.

Yes. I protest all the time when revenue officers aka police officers steal my money via their idiotic tickets.
