A Texas congressman is at loggerheads with the Transportation Security Administration over a pat-down last week that he says "hurt my privates."
"Freshman Rep. Francisco Canseco, R-Texas, said the San Antonio Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officer handled that sensitive moment of the screening process roughly, causing him pain," writes FOX News Latino, one of several media outlets reporting on the incident.
"As he was moving up my leg, he moved his hand aggressively up to my crotch and he hurt me," Canseco adds to the Politico. "The natural reaction is when someone goes for your crotch and it hurts, you're going to pull back — and my right arm came down and moved away his hand briskly."
Canseco's response didn't sit well with the officer, who told the congressman he himself may have been "assaulted" with the brush-away....
Congressman: I'm sorry you got your balls hurt. But, it was YOUR party which created this monster and YOUR party which preaches more and more security, which loves spying on US citizens and manhandling us at the airport, so just accept your rough handling as the price of being "safe."
Y'all made this bed...lie in it.
aint it great these days, the tsa sexually violates men, women and children on daily basis and they get away with it, but if we the people push them away from a sexual attack, we are the ones getting charged with a crime.
these tsa thugs should be locked away as a menace to the USA.
Civil liberties and deficit spending historically are both screamed about by whichever party is not in power. When they get their hands on the levers of power they invariably make the previous abuses look tame.
The only faction with a real path out are the tea-partiers and libertarians. People like Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Allen West, Sarah Palin etc. You know, the people who are so often derided as 'extremists,' 'hard right,' 'looney,' 'out of the mainstream,' etc.

Which should tell you just how extreme these liberal freaks have become. Pelosi, Reid, and Obama make former President Clinton look like a hard core right-winger. They are even left of their idols Stalin and Mao.
