    How about that guy John Tyler out in San Diego, huh? Looks like the thugs at TSA are making good on their threat, though.

    Talk about a complete travesty. The TSA, and DHS too for that matter, should never have been put into existence to begin with. They’re nothing but incompetent, wasteful, insulting, power-grabbing oppressors of the public that don’t even provide the service they’re supposedly in place for. Well, maybe that’s not true. It was never intended, or even possible with the ridiculous policies that’ve been in place from the beginning, to do anything more than present the illusion of security.

    I read that the new congress is going to investigate the hell out of the TSA. I’d go one further: eliminate it. And DHS too, for that matter.

      The dude obviously never attended a rock concert.

      Taking away tweezers and water bottles, and checking smelly shoes IS a joke to create an ILLUSION of security. But body scanners make sense. They scanned & patted down regularly in Europe when I traveled there frequently during the 80s & 90s. Last I checked, there are fewer totalitarian societies there now, not more.

      Homeland Security and FISA are the real threats to our freedom.

      I have never had my boobs or vagina touched or groped at a concert. And yes, I have had quite a few patdowns. And the scanned image is quite graphic, way to graphic for me to subject myself to.. Especially when these scanners are deemed ineffective and possibly dangerous.

    Dood. You keep tagging photos like that and I won’t be able to visit your site when I finally have a job!

    Detroit. We on the East and West Coast have no clue what urban devastation really looks like. I’ve seen pictures that would make the worst sections of the Bronx look like Greenwich, Connecticut.

    Now that He’s accomplished everything He set out to do as POTUS, obama had time to write a children’s book:

    If that tag was the name of your radio show, I bet you’d get more listeners.

    Body Scanning at Airports: There are often people on planes with me who I want to know made it through one of those things.

    What the heck do you have on / in your body that you’re worried about people seeing? Big Brother my ass.
