So people with GED educations and 6 weeks of training "make you feel safe" ?
We're not talking Border Control or FBI or even local LE aptitude here.
These are people who, if they can't work for the TSA go to Walmart for jobs.
Here's a gallery of some of those TSA agents only you won't see them anymore because they are currently behind bars for the crimes they committed while on duty.."protecting" you. A Rogues' Gallery of TSA Agents | Photos - ABC News
Right on ! TSA = biggest collection of morons in recent history.
I refuse to go through those "whole body" scanners at the airports. Whether x-ray or millimeter wave (radio waves), I don't like the idea of my body tissues being bombarded by forces along the electromagnetic spectrum. I know physicists at work who refuse to do so; if they aren't gonna do it, neither am I.
And I can't help it: I always try to make it just a little difficult for them. After the TSA agent goes through his spiel about what he's going to do, he then asks, "do you have any questions ?" And lately I've been saying, "no, but I thought you should know that I'm sensitive to touch and I usually get an erection when people put their hands on me".
The younger generations see no problem with it because they grew up with it.
To change a society you go after the youth. Leave the old ones to die off and become the minority.
You get to the youth and you make lasting changes.
My own son has never seen an airport where there was no security and anyone could accompany you to the gate to say goodbye or meet you at the gate when you arrive.
He has no memory of that because he's never experienced that in America.
He's totally accustomed to what we have today at airports as the norm hence he sees no infringement of his rights. See where this is going ?
I agree, and it is truly pathetic. During the 1960s there were no metal detectors, and no rifling through people's luggage looking for those assault toe-clippers. Other than airport police, there was very little security of any kind. There certainly was no federal government violating my constitutionally protected rights either.
Excuse me, but this is America and I believe in freedom!!!!!!
That is obviously a lie.
Nobody who supports the TSA believes in freedom or individual inherent rights. TSA supporters are fascists and anti-American by definition.

God, you act like there's something wrong with this or whatever. Jeez, get a grip.
Obviously there is something VERY wrong with this. We fought a Revolution to preserve our liberty, which you casually toss away as if it were trash. What part of Patrick Henry's statement "Give me liberty or give me death!" are you not able to comprehend?
You don't think there might be a chance that some disturbed individual might want to use the greatest public event in the USA to go out with a burst of glory or infamy by using the this venue for a mass shooting. With the right arms it would be a turkey shoot and on Global TV!
This is what people want. A TSA agent in every public place, a soldier on every street corner and a camera in every bedroom. This will help keep us "safe". The next generation will live in the world that they have assented to.

LOL, enough of this.
Glitch, my praise of the TSA is pure sarcasm. I would have thought that my initial post on this thread was nuanced clearly enough, but, well, I guess not for everyone.
Really, shouldn't the whole "sleazeoid in a faux police uniform" have been an obvious indicator?

Oh, so now the TSA will protect you from "mass shooters" ?

No i dont. the Super Bowl is a large event, large events all over the world have high security...

The DHS has already put out advice for what do to in a mass shooting.
Run away or pick up a pair of scissors.
Feel safer now ?
They even made a "Prepardedness video" to show you how to do this.

This isn't true, security might be high during certain events in certain countries, but not "all over the world". And having security at an event isn't the same thing as having government goons running security in public every place, in every private establishment and on every public road.
