Just his shirt, but that probably still means he was crotchily hand-checked.
I wonder how parents are going to deal with discussing with their kids improper touching by strangers. It used to be NO under any circumstances. Now NO, except if it’s a TSA agent. Does that mean pedophiles will now tell kids they are TSA agents so it’s OK? And don’t tell a cop because people at the airport who complain about groping get into real trouble.
So, I guess we all know where the pedophile priests will be lining up to get jobs.
@Zybch: There are virtually NO pedophile priests…but there is an inordinate number of homosexual priests, who are too well educated for this type of job, btw.
This is sick.
The American sheeple were also snookered into abandoning their principles by the Cheney administration in the name of security.
As people protested the conservative element went labeling them as “unamerican”, “prop-muslim”, “a small sacrifice”,… yada yada.
Now look at them all coming back bellyaching once the damage is done and irrevocable freedoms are lost.
“The American sheeple were also snookered into abandoning their principles by the Cheney administration in the name of security.”
Hate on darth cheney all you want, but obama owns this. He could stop it yesterday just by picking up a phone, but he won’t. Direct your angst where it belongs today, not several years ago. But hey, take the blame off obama, the nations chief pornographer, all you want.
Sorry Dallas but your logic is sick. Obama agrees with the Cheney administration in the name of security.
Lisbon, Portugal (CNN) — President Barack Obama stood by new controversial screening measures Saturday, calling methods such as pat-downs and body scans necessary to assure airline safety.
You are part of the problem Dallas, blind allegiance to a political party that lies to you 24/7 is no better than siding with the party that attempts to terrorize you 24/7.
We like to call it “Smooth up in ya!” because it works and while the appearance of “choice” is merely theater, it keeps the blind such as yourself obedient and suppressed.
There will be no penis shots or fistings for John Boehner. That orange skin glow of health means he’s not a terrorist.
This flight attendant and cancer survivor was forced to “produce” her prosthetic breast during a TSA fisting.
Teaching children to submit to government authority. Beautiful.
#2 Just like there are no lying politicians eh, or intolerant southern baptists?
By definition, a kiddie fiddling priest either gay or straight is ALSO a pedophile. Even if there is only 1 straight child groping priest that liked groinal fluffing little girls, that would mean there are more pedo-priests than simply gay priests trying to cop a feel.
I wonder if there is a PedoPriest mascot like PedoBear…
Ah, here we go

Let’s see and the pope just approved condoms. Next up, sun rises in the west.
People can belly ache all they want!
American sheeple accept this as a price for their security.
It they didn’t accept this, it would change!
On the flip side, it may be right by webster standards to call people who vote and live in the US Americans; but, from a historical standard, many Americans are anything but American!!
“What constitutes an American? Not color nor race nor religion. Not the pedigree of his family nor the place of his birth. Not the coincidence of his citizenship. Not his social status nor his bank account. Not his trade nor his profession.
What has happened to our vaunted idealism? Why have some of us been behaving like scared chickens? Where id the million-throated democratic voice of America?
For years it has been dinned into us that we are a weak nation; that we are an inefficient people; that we are simple-minded. For years we have been told that we are beaten, decayed, and that no part of the world belongs to us any more.
Some amongst us have fallen for this carefully pickled tripe. Some amongst us have fallen for this calculated poison. Some amongst us have begun to preach that the “wave of the future” has passed over us and left us a wet, dead fish.
What constitutes an American? Not color nor race nor religion. Not the pedigree of his family nor the place of his birth. Not the coincidence of his citizenship. Not his social status nor his bank account. Not his trade nor his profession.
An American is one who loves justice and believes in the dignity of man. An American is one who will fight for his freedom and that of his neighbor. An American is one who will sacrifice prosperity, ease and security in order that he and his children may retain the rights of free men. An American is one in whose heart is engraved the immortal second sentence of the Declaration of Independence.”
The result of all this TSA groping will be financial losses for the airlines. Either the airlines will reduce or stop this unwarranted “screening,” or passengers will vote with their feet (switching to cars, trains or buses), and the airlines will go out of business.
Of course, the minute they STOP strip-searching little kids is the minute that Abdul the Terrorist takes his little kid (properly outfitted) on a suicide-flight to Disneyland.
(Apologies, in advance, for the non-PC nomenclature. When (if) there is a terrorist that swallows a grenade who DOESN’T have an Arab-sounding name, let me know…)
It is appalling… TSA alienates everybody. What is wrong with Napolitano and Pistole… have they ever been subject to this? To strip search a 6 year old kid for God’s sake…!!!
Obviously the end justifies any means. Do they know what this nonsense is all about?
And the worst part – the US paranoia spreads out to the rest of the world, like cancer!
Oh yeah, sad to say but Osama won in the end. He killed democracy and civil rights in the US, And is the Bogyman that justifies everything.
Is this the inconvenience Obama was saying the TSA is? They might only be randomly picking out people to be x-rays now people, but eventually it *will* be everyone. The fact the outrage about this isn’t larger just gives me another reason to move.
Sparky said, “Let’s see and the pope just approved condoms. Next up, sun rises in the west.”
No Sparky, he approved them for use with male prostitutes which he obviously has a lot of experience. They like him in those red shoes.
Don’t know what bothers me more: That the TSA would strip search a child or that the father would stand there and allow it. Unbelievable.
In the I Called It Department: I half-joked recently that the Congress would exempt themselves from this. Read foobar’s (#6) link above.
“But there was no waiting in line for Mr. Boehner, who was escorted around the metal detectors and body scanners, and taken directly to the gate.”
Three cheers for Mr Boehner for giving up Pelosi’s private jet but a big boo hiss for aspiring to royalty.
I guess the TSA didn’t read the memo saying that pat-downs and searches on children are not permitted.
#6 – good link. From that article: “any member of Congress or administration official with a security detail is allowed to bypass security”
So I guess some people are more equal than others.
Tip for Al-Qaeda: if you want to bypass security and carry a bomb onto the plane, simply show up with 2 guys in police uniform and tell them you’re a congressmen.
#17 I would bet you a beer that it will cost more to fly John Boehner commercial, first class plus personal staff, secret service and airport staff than it would to stick him on an Air Force transport.
Can’t wait to see a TSA worker smell his fingers delightfully after doing a pat down on a teenage girl.
# 19 foobar,
I would, if it where a dedicated Air Force transport.
Those planes are not cheap to maintain, fuel, staff and fly all on demand and with high security to non-military airports.
I doubt he would fly Space Available Military Flights, like I did when I was in the Navy.
noname, you may be right. The whole thing just stinks of more politicizing of nothing.
Back on topic, the TSA screening practices are a “tell” on Obama. The guy’s obviously smart but he has no gut instinct – the complete opposite of Bush. Polar opposites, same buggered results.
P.S. noname, thank you for your service.
This thread is getting REALLY BORING, people.
Screw you Faxon, you nazi loving boot licking assassin. 😉
Well this blog has become “This is in TSA”.
Better topics:
Palin will whoop both Boehner and Barry’s asses in 2012.
The truth behind Katy Perry’s digital boob job.
Back in my day I was smarter, and kid’s now are dumber because they have no attention span. (NY Times)
Facebook pastor had 3 way sex (seriously).
Inside trading charges coming for the bastards who ruined the US economy.
Did I mention Katy Perry’s boobs?
foobar, Start your own thread!!
No need to stomp on others work.
Can’t. cagematch is down.
Sadly, people deserve the government they get, and this is just the kickoff. In a year or two, this will look like the “good old days” We can only hope someone snaps and goes postal on the TSA
