It’s all in good humor. Seriously, you can laugh once in a while. I can’t wait for the videos on Thursday.

It’s security theater, it won’t stop the determined, all it does is to make the gullible feel safer.

Those of us who are smart enough to still spot the security holes (of which the less said the better) would really like the TSA to go do their actual jobs.. keeping us safe… instead of play-acting.

the liberals join us in this protest. Quite frankly, considering the way they treat these customers, for the customer to make sure they get a feel of the whole hard package seems to me to be irony, not hi-jinks.

Since Obama will not stop it, lawyers say it is protected, TSA says they will “back off a bit’ yet that will take months (go figure), seems we the people do not have much of a choice in ways to protest this.

… I’m hoping that the protests get worse and worse, until the government is forced to change this foolish policy. I’m all for being safe when you fly, but (a) this doesn’t work, (b) there are better alternatives, and (c) there is a point at which your 4th amendment rights are lost. Wasn’t it Benjamin Franklin who said “They who would trade liberty for security soon have none and deserve neither.”??

There was an attack on one of the Saudi royals last year (I think) where a bomber secreted a quantity of C4 in his anus. So, when the terrorists pull that one on an airplane, what’s the TSA going to do then? Will we have to submit to a full cavity search just to get on an airplane? Where does this stop (or does it)?

I, for one, would prefer that it stop right here, and right now. If the TSA wants to employ the “puffer” machines to detect explosives, and/or explosive-sniffing dogs, then great. It’s much less intrusive, and it gets the job done. But a virtual strip search or (and) a full-body grope? Too much for me.

And do they understand how ED drugs work? You do not get an erection unless you are sexually stimulated. so if your boyfriend is sexually aroused with a pat down from a man with latex gloves on, then maybe you have soem issues in your relationship….just saying.

And I haven’t flown since all thsi started, but am I to understand that you can either decide to walk through a full body scanner with virtually no line, or voluntarily get into an hour long line to opt out?

Maybe I really do earn too much money, but somehow I don’t see the sense in showing up an hour earlier for a supposed political statement.

I mean I have found all this airport nonsense expensive and burdensome ever since the Patriot act started, and I was someone who flew out of Logan the night of September 10th on the last flight out….so I was sort of close to it all.

Enough said.

are left standing for longer than 4 hours, seek TSA agent for urgent assistance.

For example, the most important change in security is fortifying the cockpit doors. Nobody is complaining about that.

Banning nail clippers and toothpaste while checking people’s underware is hardly the best way to really make us safe.

The Israeli’s don’t do any of that, and their record on security is far better than ours.

So why not just keep the debate at a mind numbingly binary level and characterize comments as being whining instead of acknowledging that there other possible approaches between no security and stupid security policies.

Call it the Israeli option—porn free, no hijackings, and no bombed planes.

People complaining about Americans who are not sheep are such moody brats.

when a Jihadist doctor starts surgical implanting bombs into a human being a la the joker?

Will mandatory surgical exporations at airports become the norm?

Will complaints be “whining” when that happens?
