Yup. They've been failing us for 10+ years now.

The Underwear bomber had his own father alert our Embassy, and the Homeland Security that his son was a threat and still nothing was done.


Furthermore, every single time an individual who isn't even a citizen of this country has tried some new way to blow up a plane our own citizens pay the price.

Shoe Bomber...take off your shoes. Liquid bomber....so sorry now you need to shop at the convenience store. Underwear bomber.......Oh baby lets have a look at you!

What is next? I think someone mentioned a jump suite and rectal exam....


Janet Napolatano stated that if you don't like it take the bus. Heck of statement coming from someone who flies on private jets.

Hopefully she'll have to ride commercial soon.

That once again highlights the #1 problem with the entire system. And that is the employee bus full of Spring Breakers in blue shirts I ride with to the terminal. The stuff I hear during that 10 minutes is unbelievable.

Not to mention all the parking spaces they take up at the airport. It's like a swarm of locusts to a farmers field.

Here's a newsflash... the crotch-bomber was coming in from abroad. They don't molest you or virtually strip search you abroad coming into the US... Guess what? You can hop on the flight from Jeddah to New York, and you won't be molested by security in Jeddah, nor will you be showing off your stuff to the back-room pervert.

But try going from Charlotte to Miami, say hello to Chester The Molester... or you can give a show to the back-room pervert.

This idiocy only happens because people accept it...

I like the guidance of USAPA:

After being subjected to an enhanced pat-down procedure, pilots must evaluate their fitness for duty. As has been determined, there is a wide range of possibilities once you submit to a private screening, and the results can be devastating. Unacceptable as this is to all USAPA pilots, and until these invasive measures are no longer implemented on airline pilots, it is your responsibility to make sure you are emotionally fit and not stressed in any way by your close encounter with the TSA.

"You touch my junk, I'm calling in molested..."

Big Sis is now ordering screeners to stick their hands down the pants of passengers if the pants are baggy. Story is on Drudge.

Fortunately these were low resolution scans. But, goes to show what happens to "confidential" information saved on government computers.

TSA Now Putting Hands Down Fliers’ Pants

Tuesday, November 16, 2010

The TSA’s invasive new screening measures include officers literally putting their hands down people’s pants if they are wearing baggy clothing in a shocking new elevation of groping procedures that have stoked a nationwide revolt against privacy-busting airport security measures.

Forget John Tyner’s “don’t touch my junk” experience at the hands of TSA goons in San Diego recently, another victim of Big Sis was told by TSA officials that it was now policy to go even further when dealing with people wearing loose pants or shorts.

Going through airport security this past weekend, radio host Owen JJ Stone, known as “OhDoctah,” related how he was told that the rules had been changed and was offered a private screening. When he asked what the procedure entailed, the TSA agent responded, “I have to go in your waistband, I have to put my hand down your pants,” after which he did precisely that.

Stone chose to conduct the search in public in the fear that the TSA worker would be even more aggressive in a private room.

“If you’re wearing sweat pants or baggy clothing, I was wearing sweat pants they’re not baggy, they’re sweat pants,” said Stone, adding that the agent pulled out his waistband before patting his backside and his crotch.

Even the TSA agent who put his hands down the man’s pants was embarrassed at what he had been told to do by his superiors, apologizing profusely to the victim.
