Haven't you noticed? We don't have "representatives" anymore, we have career politicians that will make decisions and sign bills that 80% of the voting public vote against because they will get big kickbacks from bigger government or corporations. Far from the "of the people, for the people" we used to be.

Which is why I LOVE organizations like linked below for having the right idea and viable solutions. The government here is getting too big and controlling. Last time that happened people had enough, got on 3 big ships and sailed across the ocean to start a new civilization... we don't have that option anymore!

Wow!

The ToughShitAssociates in action; all former astronauts, FBI, or police I'm sure. Not... :rolleyes:
That group looks like former MickeyD ass't mgrs that couldn't hack the morning
rush at the local egg Mcmuffin joint.

I wonder if there was any real retribution, other than the usual hollow apology and "retraining",
as voiced by the TSA idiots, who report to the Homeland "security" registered idiots.

The Jihad azzholes are laughing up their baggy sleeves.

I know if the Ron Paul type were to be elected the TSA would cease to exist in a hurry and something more logical would be put in it's place, but I also know not to think that would ever be allowed to happen in today's politics... Our whole political system needs an enema right now.

First post in this thread: "I don't think this belongs in the politics forum".

Maybe it does.

Another political movement. :popcorn: Wish it was that simple!!! A plan to replace Congress is nothing more than another means for other imperfect people to fix what "THEY" believe is broken. There has never been an "of the people, for the people" we used to be government". That's a pipe dream unrealized.

That's right; collect funds, sell books, rack up speaking engagements and all the rest for the purpose of gathering "NORMAL INDIVIDUALS" to replace the other "normal individuals" in congress......:dunno: Sounds like another Bernie Madoff's $50 Billion Ponzi Scheme.

Back at the Screening/'Security' Ranch, what remains is the vid showing the young woman confined to a glass booth, for nearly an hour, waiting for absentee/non-caring TSA 'mgmt' to come out from behind the curtains and put her through the hoops for the final time. A remarkable misuse of 'authority', couched in safety theater, imo.

Put yourself in her husband's shoes; would any of you/us say, "Oh, that's OK...it makes flying safer, and the local punques with fake badges just didn't understand their own rules. It will be OK, honey, when you get home." WTF?!

LiveLeak.com - TSA Breast Milk Screening Harassment

Heard about this woman during a recent trip...i believe she's an attorney and is pursuing legal action. Ranks up there with the woman that was forced to drink her own breast milk at JFK...that was 2002 and yet, again, they haven't gotten any smarter with their methods.

Had a conversation with a few chaps in a travel lounge...one of them mentioned that the holding booths are being removed from airports. Wonder if this woman's experience had anything to do with it...and if they'll swap them for private holding areas (out of camera view).

I consider the majority of representatives useless in this regard, as they don't want to appear soft on the war for oil...i mean war of terror...i mean war on terror :rolleyes:

Dr. Paul has been the only consistent voice "for the people", imo.

A thin follow-up article...I spent some time digging around the net, but couldn't find much, except this snippet. I did not watch the 'revised' vid; didn't need another 11 mins of my retired bum life to go by like that, lol!
BR, mD

And when can we expect the mandatory cavity search?
