Someone needs to sue the TSA

So not going through an airport scanner is an "Essential Liberty"? I don't think it even comes close to being that.

Idk, if a suicide bomber blows himself up in the middle of a city block should the police be allowed to forever thereafter perform an invasive frisk of your person or put you through a scanner before you're allowed to walk down the street? Hell, it's just that right to be secure in your persons, houses, papers, and effects and someone thought it essential enough to stick in an amendment.

I'm not saying that there can't be any level of security at an airport, but there has to be a balance that is proportionate to the risk. There are thousands of flights a day that come and go through our airports, and how many incidents were there before these scanners were installed? Some people live in perpetual fear and would push us toward a police state in order to try and alleviate their fears.

Well done, Whoosh, but, what next?

When the scanners and the pat downs don't work and there's another atrocity (as there will be - shit has an ugly habit of happening), what next?

Stripped naked and chemically induced comas before you're allowed to be wheeled on board?

OK we can turn these down, only when you sit next to Mr Explosive Knickers and Mrs Explosive TwoSet..

Don't get me started on airport security... It's all a load of bollocks! The bottom line is that you can implement all the security checks you want (let's say checking people's socks because some wacko gets on a plane and starts saying that he has explosive socks...), but if a terrorist organisation really want to get a bomb on a plane, they can and they will, unfortunately.

This is so fucking dumb... you already have to get to airport two hours early to go through security, with this are we going to have to come five hours early just to get to our plane on time? And damn those lines are going to be a mess, they already are. I have been put to side because my sex on id didnt match my look! That shit is crap! But anyways, i started taking train it maybe longer to get to your destination but its relaxing, better seats and more leg room and you dont have the hassle of the TSA! UGH! Oh and you dont have to pay for your luggage, and bring as much as u want too! LOL!

Been hearing a lot of backlash on the new TSA security such as the pat-downs and full body scans. I can see why people are mad, but its there to protect the people. I would rather feel uncomfortable (or slightly aroused depending on the situation) than to have to fend off some crazy Jihad muthafuka with a box cutter and a bomb attached to his testicles.

But Bella has a point has anyone taken down a plane since 9/11 no... so why make it even more strict then what it is??? Its doing good now. 2nd if its my time to go then its my time to go! Its just as easy for that plane to go down cuz of technically difficulties, so its always a risk. If we always go out in fear how can we live? I'll stick to the trains for now! LOL!
