Good. More traction for this outrage is needed. Why are you afraid of information?

TSA is a worthless organization that reacts. They don't discover. My Number 1 cost saving suggestion... eliminate TSA and Homeland insecurity... save the $200B or what ever they cost.
I don't feel safer because some pretty girl can get felt up or their naked images are taken...

when they miss guns and knives they obviously are doing any good. confiscationg nail clippers foesn't inspire confidence in me... well unless I were on a flight being hijacked by a bunch of evil manicurists... you know how dangerous they can be...... Where is Madge and her palmolive when you need them?

What d'ya mean 'Number 1 cost saving...' Let's go for all of them as number one.

Down Size the Federal Government

This Napolitano woman is in competition with FCC Genochowski for heading up the lynch mob line. We can deal with the terrorists in the streets where they live.

Default Pilot in trouble for exposing TSA search methods

I think that we can find the TSA being just a bit heavy handed for the way they reacted to this pilot exposing one of their main search errors to public view. At least they think they have got even with him. An interesting story if you have ever been mistreated by the TSA.

There is a link inside the first to the second.

Interesting he didn't think the government would react that way and has had his eyes opened. Cudos to the airline he works for for supporting him.

How many others have no clue and were surprised when they read this? It was a great service to everyone who was actually surprised and to those who weren't.

Thanks for taking a stand.

Exercise of your 1st Amendment rights can impair your 2nd Amendment rights?

Well, shoot!

I always thought the 2nd Amendment was there to protect your 1st Amendment rights.

Hey, ACLU!

You listening?

Three days after he posted a series of six video clips recorded with a cell phone camera at San Francisco International Airport, four federal air marshals and two sheriff's deputies arrived at his house to confiscate his federally-issued firearm. The pilot recorded that event as well and provided all the video to News10.

At the same time as the federal marshals took the pilot's gun, a deputy sheriff asked him to surrender his state-issued permit to carry a concealed weapon.




Seems the TSA doesn't appreciate their Kabuki dance outed.
There is an update to this story out today. It fleshes the story out quite a bit.
