And now the TSA has the right to grope you and call it a pat down. You can bet there will be a run on perverts and pedophiles applying for employment at the TSA, it is the only place you can legally fondle someone and get away with it. What has this country come to?

The problem here is the general public does not know what has been caught at airports because it is not made public. If it was made public what do you think that would do to public air travel? It would produce a response of fear making far less people travel by air which is exactly what the terrorists want, to provoke an action by use of fear. As far as the water bottles have you ever heard of hydrogen explosves, very potent and hard to detect, a shot glass of the stuff acts as a catalyst so a firecracker with hyrogen as an accelerant can easly take down a plane. The hydrogen is clear and odorless like water. So the bottom line is ignorance if you dont understand why these procedures are in place just remember that it must have worked when you reach your destination alive. Throwing out a 99cent bottle of water is a small price to pay to make it home safely.

For those who have fought for it freedom and safety has a taste the protected will never know.

TSA decided that an empty pistol magazine found in my carry on constituted a violation of 49 CFR 1540. 111A1. This is a part of a weapon in their view. USPS doesn’t consider this a weapon . You can mail it. BATF doesn’t consider it as an “essential” part of a weapon. A weapon will work without it. It won’t work without a weapon (or bullets). It’s not sharp. It’s not heavy. It’s not liquid. You don’t have to show ID to purchase one. You don’t have to a certain age to possess one.
But TSA confiscated it while denying a receipt for the incident. So,a letter comes informing me that this “Warning Notice” is sufficient penalty for violation of this serious regulation. If I had known that, maybe I would have tried to slip the rest of it in, too. Intelligence is certainly not a virtue in this agency. They don’t even know when this occurred. They say” on or about”….
Go figure.

Erich Scherfen is a decorated Gulf War veteran. After his conversion to Islam, his name, and possibly his wife's name (a Pakistani immigrant), have turned up on the TSA's list of suspected terrorists. Mr. Scherfen's job is now threatened unless the TSA, which until last week has been uncooperative and unresponsive, can remove his name from the list before October 1st. CNN Story

James Robinson is a suspected terrorist on the so-called “no fly” list. Ironic that Mr. Robinson is licensed to carry a gun onto those planes he’s trying to bring down. He’s also licensed to fly them. He’s also employed by a commercial carrier in the United States. That’s right, even our own pilots who are trying to get us from point A to point B cannot get off these fucking lists.
