The entire setup is based on the idea that you can have "perfect security." But, if you wanted perfect security, the only way to do that is to not let anyone fly, ever. As James Fallows notes it doesn't make much sense to ... (more)

A Pox on Polls From CBSThe whores at the TSA and their pimps in the media have made much of a poll that claims 81% of Americans approve of their government's ogling them.
Like everything else to do with the TSA, that assertion falls apart at the slightest examination. First, CBS sponsored the poll. Call me cynical, but given CBS's fanaticism for the State, what else would we expect than support for government's sexual assaults on and humiliation of taxpayers?
Second, CBS whitewashed the c... (more)

TSA Gropers Prone To Predatory Criminal BehaviorNews that a TSA employee abducted a woman before sexually assaulting her is just the latest example of how TSA workers are prone to criminal and predatory behavior particularly targeting women and children, emphasizing once again why they are attracted to jobs that allow them to sexually molest and ogle vulnerable members of society.

Control, Humiliate, Intimidate: Becky Akers on TSA and The StateDownload (MP3)
TSA is a microcosm of what government is. It strips, it fondles, it leers, it violates, it assaults, and does it all with camp-guard assurance and money looted from the productive. Its assaults and abuses cannot be tweaked or reformed; it must be abolished. No more must the Michael Chertoffs of the world grow rich off our degradation and oppression. Never p... (more)

Children Trained That Being Taken From Parents & Molested Is NormalIf anyone else abducted someone’s child and then sexually molested them they would be rightly called a pedophile and locked up for a long time, but when the government does it not only is it deemed acceptable, but it also trains a whole generation of children that being kidnapped by an adult and having their genitals groped is normal.

“Given the list of threats on subways and rails over the last six years going on seven years, we know that some terrorist groups see rail and subways as being more vulnerable because there’s not the type of screening that you find in aviation. From my perspective, that is an equally important threat area.”

TSA now needs false flag security incident to convince Americans to accept obscene pat-downsWith the grassroots backlash over the TSA's obscene pat-downs growing by the day, it's becoming fairly obvious that the only way the U.S. government is going to get the public to accept these Fourth Amendment violations is if there is another "terrorist incident" that's stopped by the TSA and its naked body scanners.
So far, the TSA is molesting children, teens and grannies without being able to demonstrate that this gross violation of Americans' Fourth Amendment rights is having ... (more)
