Few things get my blood boiling as much as being required to submit to a patdown before flying home to see my wife.
Every time I'm tempted to refuse to let them touch with without articuable probable cause but I can't afford to get put on a list and not fly home to see my wife. I've also thought about requiring them to prove to me that anyone putting their hands on me is not a sex offender list. F the TSA. Seriously. |

It,s a feel good measure designed to make the average dumb ass feel better. I have heard of a lot of guns, knives, etc making it through the checkpoint by mistake. Fact is the only effective way to police airports is to use behavior profiling. |

The simple fact of the matter is, and Janet Napolitano has admitted as such, that the TSA pat downs and other stupid policies have not nor would not have prevented a single attack. The TSA is just a bloated government monster taking our freedoms and billing us for it. |

I flew with in days of the new regs last november, and due to some metal inserts, I have to go thru pat downs when flying all the time..
I DID NOT know about the new regs before heading to the airport. I WAS SHOCKED and told the guy doing it that I expected Dinner and Flowers next time  ,,
and got this look from him, I complained to a supervisor about the aggression of the pat down and got this look
I called after the third time it happened and found out about the new rules, I was steaming the whole time and told the girl on the phone to FUCK Homeland security and FUCK Janet Napolitano, Eric Holder and Barak fucking Hussien Obama before hanging up. 
I have driven from Texas to both New York and California and a few places in between since last November, I refuse to fly less its an emergency situation

They don't have to blow up an aircraft to cause panic and "terror". Plenty of other soft targets if they choose to use them. |

We sued the federal government last year over this. Glad to see other states standing up for their rights too.
"“It is a huge victory for civil liberties that TSA agents no longer have free reign to conduct sweeping, baseless searches and detain passengers who don’t pose a threat to flight safety,” said Bierfeldt. “I do not believe I should give up my constitutional rights each time I choose to travel by plane, and I certainly do not want another innocent American to have to endure what I went through." |

Quoted: Sure beats dying b/c some jackass blew up the plane you were on. Please point to some source, reference or even anecdote where the TSA has detected or stopped ANY terrorist activity. Passengers have been responsible for stopping every attempt since 9/11. TSA has detected and stopped nothing. The most they have accomplished is getting people like me to stop flying completely and waste millions of dollars on security theatre. The simple fact is that TSA has created a choke point where large group HAVE to concentrate for an attack. It really is just a matter of time before someone exploits this fact to carry out a mass killing. After all anyone can walk into the non-secure part of the airport and walk right up to or even into the middle of the crowd waiting to go through security. Guess the answer to this is to just start searching everything and everyone as they enter the airport perimeter. Yeah, that'll work... |

The one here used to use a deputy not too long ago. Now I doubt arresting a TSA worker for doing his job is going to fly, but you can bet the local cop can come in and arrest a disorderly person for theft or assault or whatever. |

TSA is really screwing up. They should hire smoking hot babes, dress them up in tight fitting low cut police uniforms and have them do the searches. It would be a win-win for all. If she did a really good job, you could tip her. These government goons just do not know how to go about getting things done.

They have their own police force, they are cops, not feds. The only thing that the TSA is responsible for is screening of passengers and luggage. Check the armed cops walking around inside the terminals, patrolling outside the terminals and all the airport grounds. They are all local cops, not feds. I have been flying in and out of DFW for 32 years, so I have seen them many many many times. |

The Government of the USA is no long user friendly.. Less than 20 years ago but years before 9-11, my wife flew El Al to Israel. To make a long story very short, their security is not something we could afford in commercial, for-profit air travel. Government subsidies and low volume allow them to institute incredible security. Their aircraft are even heavily modified. My wife's experience getting on that plane was also far worse than anything TSA has come up with. Her luggage had to be dropped off a few days before the flight at an El Al warehouse so it could be gone over with a fine tooth comb. She was asked to arrive a number of hours before the flight (back when the average airline asked you to show up an hour (?) before the flight, none of this 2-3 hour BS). She was pulled out of the terminal after screening and brought into a private room where two Israeli security guys (think military-types, not lowest-common-denominator TSA mouthbreathers), dogpiled her for hours. They called the people she was staying with in Israel to check out her story and accused her of everything from being a bomber to smuggling bacon in her bunghole. This went on for long enough that they held the plane at the gate a few minutes to get her on it. Their security is more effective than ours, but it would be more socially onerous and would lead to either lightning fast bankruptcy of commercial air travel or ENORMOUS government subsidies to the industry. |
