TSA, Naked People and My Junk!
That slacker Crowder has a new video out on the TSA.
So what’s all your opinion on the TSA? I assume you’re all for it since you’re like pervs and stuff.

–Suspecting everyone (except young Muslim men) of murderous intent
is a creative way to prevent the horrible horrors of profiling,
what they used to call “good police work”.
–Keep ignoring amendment 4 and soon the 1st and 2nd will fade away
like the 10th amendment and the “Due process” and “Just compensation” clauses of the 5th amendment have disappeared.

Crowder needs to take his termite out for some exercise!

Hasn’t every terrorist act post 9/11 been stopped civilians after the security check failed? And also, hasn’t every single terrorist that has managed to get on a plane been coming from another country, where the TSA has no presence? Every time the terrorists have tried something, it’s been different from what they did previously, and every action the TSA has taken has been in response to what’s already happened. When you play a war defensively, you’re going to lose.

Racial profile away. My dad’s folks put up with it during the cold war when anyone with a “ski” at the end of their name was a suspect. And for damn good reason. Now the threat comes in th form of a turban, and they need to be watched. To ignore the obvious is to invite death in blindly.

Here’s a video with a song.

I tried to join the TSA but they said I was too much of a perv. Five conviction for fondling manikins at Macy’s, Victoria’s Secret and The Gap and you’re labeled for life! Sheeesh!

Ya know, I knew security was doomed immediately after 9/11. I was living near Boston and working on a software development project for the state. I noticed two occurrences in the immediate aftermath of the worst attack on US soil:
1) The acting governor of Massachusetts fired the director of Logan Airport (the source of two of the hijacked planes). She then replaced him with a political hack with absolutely no security experience — something about “bringing in new ideas” or some such.
B) My firm smelled the imminent flood of federal dollars. Within days of the attack they began to brainstorm how they could rewarm some of the work the firm had done (developed at the state’s expense) and sell it as an anti-terrorist tracking system. A database is a database, after all.
When you’re close to the government, you get an up close look at the reality there. It is orders of magnitude worse than what you read. We’d be ‘ephed if it weren’t for our brave service men and women. It is they, and not the TSA, that keep us safe.
This comment is sorely lacking in humor value, so let me just say this: Aqua Buddha!

Crowder sure has a lot of excuses these days. What happened with his move to PJTV? Did I miss something?
The TSA? Metal detectors and drug- and explosive-sniffing dogs would do a better job than their scanners and “pat downs.” What’s next, anal, vaginal and stomach probing?

Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say Aqua Buddah at will to old ladies. There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred.

In this instance, I come down firmly on the side of more liberty, less security. I think the TSA does a piss poor job of actually deterring terrorism. And even if they did a good job at it, I still think the “porno scanners” and grope-fests are too over the top.
Bottom line: until the TSA goons quit these practices, I’ll be driving anywhere I go, thank you very much. (And if I absolutely must fly, I’ll ask to be patted down, in public, and then start gratuitously moaning. Loudly.)

Great! It was hard enough for schools to get good elementary grade teachers, now they have to compete with the TSA!
November 19th, 2010 at 1:31 pm
I want to know who watches the watchmen?
And that applies to both the TSA and Crowder and his accidentally running into a door.

Just noticed the ad on the side of this topic, the Pocket Version of the Constitution. Perfect!
Lets host a bake-sale to raise money to order copies and give to TSA Agents for Christmas, or anytime we happen to be going through their spiffy new porno-scanners.

@chip: Crowder was punched in the face last week by a TSA agent who didn’t like his attitude about the grope check, hence his now healing shiner and absence last week, in addition to his now positive attitude about the TSA checks.

Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. – Benjamin Franklin

crowder is neither so interesting nor humorous as HE thinks he is. he is, obviously, unfamiliar with the franklin quote about liberty and security. dumb, loud, and (ironically?) misogynist…the guy is a tool.
