May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

TSA Strip Search's Little Boy



Yet TSA chief John Pistole says:

“I see flying as a privilege. That is public safety issue so the government has a role in providing public safety and we need to do everything we can in partnership with the public to inform them about what their options are.”  “Passengers have a number of options as you go through screening. Bottom line is if someone decides they don’t want to have screening, they don’t have a right to get on the plane.”
Recognize this?
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Can you imagine the outrage that would be expressed by the Dems and Jurassic Press if this were going on by a Republican President? Look at the brouhaha created over the library stuff in the Patriot Act, or listening to calls between suspected terrorists overseas and people here, or the tracking of terrorists money in banks. That was with a Republican president. Yet not a word, or support and justification for the sexual harassment for the sick, elderly, disabled and children. But this is under a Democrat president.

I heard a caller on a talk show asking where the men are. Men are allowing the mothers, sisters, daughters, wives and children to be molested. Don't know that anyone can do something at the sites of the harassment; the penalties are prison and up to $11,000 dollar fine. If you go into the groping area, and decide you'd rather not go through with it and not fly, you will be arrested.

I heard another caller, that was in Iraq serving in the military, that said when they screened travelers there, they were much more respectful of them that what's she seeing American citizens being treated like here in their own country. And they were in a war zone!
