Groping Madness

Yes, I am mad. Mad as hell actually, as I watch many of my fellow conservatives take up a position of "resistance" over TSA screening. How quickly we forget the lessons learned on 9/11.

Since when do conservatives complain about safety procedures? Since when do conservatives act as though it is their right to travel via PRIVATE company and tell them how to do it? I am honestly baffled.

Most who are objecting are sighting the 4th amendment....

The Fourth Amendment of the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution states:

The right of the people to be secure...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.

While I am NEVER one to give up personal liberties, I have to ask...Are y'all smoking crack? Seriously? This is NOT the government coming into your home and searching your possessions, nor are you being singled out. EVERYONE will go through screening, and if you really think some government worker is going to get their rocks off seeing an x-ray of your "junk" then you think far to highly of yourself.

Those of you who have taken up this fight, this protest, this campaign to mess with the security of our nations travel are acting in the interest of our enemies. Why not just take out an ad in the "Jihadi Times" and tell them this is a great opportunity to use their new generation of underwear bomb. For God's sake people, CAIR is pushing this protest. Since when are we on their side? You are being duped into furthering their agenda.

I think the most amusing is those freaking out about a three year old being searched. First off, the kid is a brat. No child should ever be allowed to behave that way in public.


Secondly, the kid set off the metal detector TWICE, therefore procedure for our safety dictates a further search. The kid wasn't hurt, there was no cavity search, no nudity, no inappropriate grabbing. Just a 3 year old whose parents did NOTHING to calm the child being patted down, and I should probably mention the kid is the child of a news reporter. Anything seem fishy to you yet?

Common sense needs to prevail here. Flying is NOT a right. If you choose to fly you have an OBLIGATION to make sure it is safe for everyone. Otherwise, I suggest you check out Greyhound or Amtrak stellar service to accommodate your travel needs.  

End Rant.
