I'm under the impression that presidential travel on Air Force One doesn't require preflight screening.

However, I do think Dick Cheney nad his family should be right at the top of the "no fly" list.

Why must you people make everything an issue?
Uh not necessarily ... If something is found in the scanner (maybe you might be wearing a pad or tampon or underwire bra), you WILL have to go through the pat down and show evidence that you are not wearing any explosives.

Why should they have to submit to the pat downs? They are not the ones forcing this upon us! The reason why we are calling on the Obamas and Ms Clinton to go through both screening measures is because they are subjecting the rest of us to these invasive procedures.

Um ... Terrorists are not limited to attacking planes you know ... There are other public places where they can attack. Also, it isn't just Hispanics crossing the border but folks from other countries who cannot get into the US any other way.

This isn't about whether he and his family are carrying explosives but about subjecting Americans to unreasonable searches (which violate the 4th Amendment) that he and his family will never experience. Obama, Clinton and other politicians are so far removed from what the average American goes through that it is sickening that they want to have us be humiliated at the airport. If they were forced to go through these invasive searches, they would not have approved it!

Honey ... If you think the outrage is limited to republicans and Tea Party folks then you are mistaken.

Really? Please do provide the link detailing their direct involvement in ordering the current methods of the TSA.

Get a clue! The 4th Amendement specifically references the rights of people to be secure in their houses and has nothing to do with the TSA and/or flying, which BTW is mentioned NO WHERE in the Constitution.
