Yes you are recalling that correctly.

That TSA thing is scary as hell. That a corn-rowed creep is allowed to violate an elderly nun outrages me beyond words. Just the reaction they want.

Years ago Margaret Mead said of the native islanders she was studying, "They aren't paranoid. There really are people out to get them."

I'm not a conspiracy nut - there really is a conspiracy to wreck our society as we know it so they can rebuild it to their liking. They've stated it over and over again.

Beck doesn't make this all up - he puts them up on the screen and lets them tell us themselves.

And there's just a few of us who are aware.

If you read the PfP thread today - it's scary.

what is most bothersome to me about the TSA situation is:
1. Why didn't they start using dogs 9 years ago? Cheaper than these porn machines...and cuter too. And who hasn't dealt with a dog sniffing their privates one hundred times before? it's no big deal. But there are some people who simply don't want some stranger viewing their goodies.
2. The obvious move for waivers to certain groups which subverts the whole purpose. A woman in a burka who won't show her face or allow herself to be scanned, could be...1. carrying explosives or 2. Be a man posing as a woman carrying explosives.

Dogs and metal detectors...if that bothers any particular religious group, let them go through the strip search.

something that I don't understand is how a patdown that gets close to intimate areas is any less intrusive than the pornoscanners.

I'd rather have a stranger looking at my junk instead of a stranger touching it.
