Since the TSA molested my family, why doesn’t Obama volunteer to subject his family to the same security procedures?

This was put forth by George W Bush, just in case you needed a reminder! Why Obama keeps it around is anyone's guess,but I guess security DID need to be stepped up!!! If we all entered airports nude,this issue would not exist,then again...That CLEARLY would cause other issues! Something does need to be done,I don't really know what!

This doesn't have anything to do with offending anyone. It has to do with setting a precedent that the government cannot frisk you, or take a naked photo of you, without some form of probable cause. It seems that we had once established that in 1968 with Terry v. Ohio. But the TSA doesn't really seem to care about that.

The crazy ways some people think!

he aint stopping it..is he?? yeap..buck stops with obama LOL

the "right wing nuts' wants to profile these terrorists and not bother everybody

..but LEFT WINGED NUTS prefer not to offend the terrorist so lets bother everybody..so welcome to your own bullshit..

*side note....your country??? is that before or after you called it a capitalist and a facist...at any rate, do you have a job yet?? "your country" is about to end your stimulus package pretty soon..so pat downs will be least of your problems..

As always deleted and not read!

Dude, give the GOP a little credit. They actually voted with the POTUS yesterday and made "crush videos" illegal. Suprise, suprise, now what is our Rep. leadership supposed to do on their time off? Instead of watching little Oriental girls in their lace undies crush the heads of cute and cuddlely kittens for their sexual gradification. Now they will have to go back to solicitating prostitutes to whip them while dressed in diapers (David Vitter), or hanging out in the restrooms at the Sothwest terminal at MIA (Larry Craig), or trying to sleep with Congressional pages (Mark Foley), or sleeping with their best friends wife/campaign manager, then bribing everyone in said family with a job or money (John Ensign) or rolling around on the floor and "tickling" your staff in your office or in the flat you all share (name alludes me).

LOL!

Still a very well compiled list! You are the winner, good job!

If you can name something that's an invasion of privacy, chances are George W Bush is behind it! Still waiting for confermation that he's involved with Twitter,after all he IS a twit!

unfortunately a number of Americans like Tom don't understand the basic workings of government which is probably why they want to get rid of it.

It isn't molestation. It's a violation of your rights. End of story. I don't care how non-invasive it is. I'm not a sissy for keeping the government at arms reach. If they get the right to search you when you get on a plane, what is the difference for them to search you when you walk into any other private business?

You made my point don't call it molestation

What is your solution? Not searching people who get on planes?

It seems that was only half your point. The other half is that you don't mind losing your rights if that means that it prevents another 9/11. But if you can tell me what percentage of your life is spent on a plane, than I'll tell you what percentage of your life is "safer" from terrorism. Stripping Americans of their basic rights does not make us any safer. It only serves to make us more powerless to stand up for ourselves. I will not sacrifice even the smallest of my rights for a false sense of security.

Correct. No one should have to submit to a frisk, or digital strip search in order to get on a plane. More people die on the road each year by drunk drivers than they do by terrorism. More people die of heart disease, cancer, AIDS, Parkinsons, Alzheimers... you name it, and it kills more people than terrorists do. No one should have to sacrifice freedom in order to pretend that they are some how safer. You are not safer. But you are weaker. The best thing that the government has done to prevent another 9/11 was to put a lock on the pilots door, and put a pistol in their cabin.

Oh come on. I don't give a flying rat's ass what people's excuses for this crap is. There are some lines you do not cross and feeling men's penises and women's boobs is something you just don't do. You also don't look at photos of that crap. And yes, outside of an airport this behavior would be considered, you got it, SEXUAL MOLESTATION. That is what it is. Which is why I have not set foot in an airport since 9/11. There is nowhere I need to fly to that bad that I will allow total strangers to feel me up like a piece of ass. Let's be real. We all know what this is. As a matter of fact, when Hilary Clinton flies commercial, she walks into the airport and boards a plane. No one fondles her boobs, plays touchy feely with her crotch, or feels up her ass. That is solely for us little people. So yes, maybe Obama should get his penis felt up. George implemented this nonsense but Obama could put a stop to it and has not. And quite frankly I am amazed that it has taken the general public nine years to take a step back and say "you know, this is too kinky for me." They also do this crap to children. Outside of an airport someone who does that is considered a pedophile. Just because this is happening in an airport does not mean it isn't what it is. Yeah, it's sexual molestation. Anyway you look at it, that is what it is.

Okay...I Could Blame Chaney I guess...Hmmm...Bush Sr ? Yeah that works too!!! I think I'll blame Palin too even though she's not involved in this might as well blame her anyway just because she's so dumb!!!!

oh yeah its all the evil republicans fault. Good grief kid.

Dam do you all sound the same....it wasn't him....it was bush....grrrr........Who is in charge now?

I willing to bet if bush was president you would see this situation differently but you have to blindly support your puppet president. Heh, what is with you and all the obama supporters and the childish name calling. LOL! I knew he had young supporters but WOW!

You, and everyone else it seems, are missing the point. This doesn't have to do with ANY president. It has to do with the overreaching power of the TSA, which has little to no oversight from the President or Congress. We are protected by the fourth amendment from unwarranted search and seizure. That amendment, coupled with the judicial precedent created by the case of Terry vs. Ohio, guarantees that you cannot be searched or frisked by any law enforcement officer without probable cause that you have committed or are about to commit a crime. It takes more balls to stand up for your rights than it does to walk through the line like a sheep, and pretend that you're somehow safer because of it.

You should be ashamed because you are way off base. This stupid "war on terror" is a scam. If you admit it is stupid, then why should we give up our freedom for security in the name of the phony "war on terror"? We are all victims of it. The answer isn't to pretend that people complaining about it is wrong. People standing up for their rights is not equivalent to being a cry-baby. The answer is for everyone to keep standing up for their rights, and against the overreaching, fake, bullshit "war on terror". "Molested" is an appropriate term for what they are doing. You are the tool.

Mr Boehner were are the jobs? its all the GOPs fault they have been in charge for 2 weeks now.

"About to commit crime" those are the very words they use to justify this sort of thing taking place! However, our world has never been safe & honestly never will be! even without wepons it would STILL be possible (though less likely) for someone to hijack a plane! The kinda creepy thing is actually new flight technology being tested that a five year old could control! Though I DO think some flight screenings are needed,I DO think things are going a little overboard now! I am not 100% sure how to deal with this problem aside from everyone showing up at airports nude,but that would likely lead to other issues! On one hand though the seach would take less time!!!

He can't do anything to change this?

2 years time to move on people!!

Pretending like the Bush administration isn't responsible for the horrible situation we are in, or simply forgetting that fact serves no one. As adults with the ability to comprehend complex thoughts, we should be able to remember Bush AND still go after Obama for what we don't like about him. Stop defending Bush by being indifferent to what that fuckface did to our country! There is no reason to forget! It's not one or the other. It's not like you blame either Bush OR Obama. Both presidents need to be held accountable.

Two years?? and we had Bush for eight years and you never figured out someone was tying his shoes for him? Can you recognize intelligence?? Say you are for Palin in 2012 and answer the question for me

I personally believe that all US leaders have had their fair share of flaws ! No matter what side is in power there will always be problems!

Palin likely needs more then just her shoes tied for her! Her staight jacket CLEARLY isn't tight enough!

A great point and a sign of the times we live in. I believe the safety of those 300 humans far outweighs whatever inconveinance or embarassment one may feel when going through these checks.

LOL, Assume I'm not on either side of this debate......and then......Lol!

I agree with ya. We Americans bitch about our "personal freedoms" to keep us safe like a bunch of spoiled little girls. I did 2 tours in Afghanastan as a grunt "protecting American's freedom and security", and from where I stand the inconvenience, we as travelers go through isn't really a big deal. It's to much of an invasion of privacy to be x-rayed or frisked to get on a plane, but one image that will never leave my mind for as long as I live is of a little Afghan girl about 4 or 5 whose body was burnt and actually "bubbling" and missing half a right arm and a whole right leg (do to an errant bomb that wiped out about half a village), cryin' and still alive being held by her mother with a "1000 mile stare". When I hear people bitchin', I think back to that little girl and wonder if what she went through was an inconveneince for OUR safety? Get in the fuckin' x-ray machine, get on the fuckin' plane and shut the fuck up!

No, it is more like being a "little girl" (as in sheepish, scared, meek) when we are so scared of the big bad terrorists that we will agree to anything for the daddy government to protect us. Your ridiculously idiotic and stupid comparison of Americans to that poor Afghan girl is way off base! The only comparison that should be made is that we are all victims of the same bullshit "war on terror". She didn't die for American freedom. She was a victim of American greed and bloodlust for oil. You shut the fuck up!

Unless you've been there and seen the shit that I have seen you have no right to tell me "shut the fuck up" civilian!

That's perspective. Thanks.

Wow. Sane much?

And then....what?

I don't think you could put this any clearer then that! WOW!

Well, I don't. Looking at a guy's dick in his pants is not going to save anyone or prevent anything. I mean really. What if some boogey man shoves an explosive up his ass? Are you going to drop your drawers and let someone put a hand up your ass so we can prevent another situation like that?

If you like to be touched by some big hairy guy and then zapped through a scanner.......Have fun...I won't stop you.

Things could always be worse! Just remember that!

Seriously, he has his speeches written for him and then uses a teleprompter to read them. Open your eyes!

LOL Hmmm..Maybe Sideshow Bob or Johny Fair Play?

Do you have eyes? Bush couldn't even read the telepromter when squinting at it ,as he did!

Bush was a f@cking piece of sh@t

Thumbs down due to the continued obsessive compulsive disorder regarding Bush. Gee this is tiresome.

Because they are both torture?

Flawless burn.

It couldn't possibly be torture cause Bush said we dont torture

I don't get your logic, wheres the relationship between interrogating known enemies of the state and two silly girls whose biggest crime was partying too much and smoking a little doobie.

Voted up to negate your down vote! Never forget what Bush did! NEVER!

No, you are thumbing him down because he is right, and you don't like that he is right.

Bush began Homeland Security.
Bush began all of these Airport screenings.
Yet, morons like you want to blame everything on Obama.

Hey try re-reading the title again

One side always wishes to blame the other,no matter how stupid they look doing so! & I really don't think ANYONE can play the stupid card like Sarah palin does!
