Great article! The idea of the scanners going into democratic districts is most interesting. I still wonder when the People willfinally say 'enough of this crap' & take a stand.

I was wondering why in the world Memphis, Tennessee (since Memphis is such a hotbed of terrorism!) needed these scanners and now I know!

Reminds me of the GM takeover and Obama literally taking away ( closing down ) the GM dealerships with Republican owners. These guys are so corrupt it boggles the mind - yet the media ignores it -- Fox News cannot do it all.

I am expecting the new House to keep the Dems busy with lots of investigations into matters of corruption such as these.

If the people really wanted a Gov. that is held accountable, then you would see to it that the below oath or affirmation was signed and that you will be held accountable.

3 The Senators and Representatives before

mentioned, and the Members of the several

State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial

Officers, both of the United States and of

the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation,

to support this Constitution; but no

religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification

to any Office or public Trust under the

United States.

That the scanner is built in democratic districts doesn't really surprise me. It figures. You learn SO much about this type of thing by watching Fox News or going to unbiased sources like the Patriot Post. This is just one of MANY reasons I probably won't fly anymore, unless I have to. I don't trust the federal govt much and I actually work for them. I don't trust them not to use the scans for other purposes, maybe some even obscene.

I'm a frequent business traveler. When the scanners were first introduced they were rare. Not anymore. My first scan was in the terrorist breeding ground of Salt Lake City, Utah.

It's outrageous to think that there's no fourth amendment protection here. Worse yet, that there's STILL no common sense approach to this issue.

Now, grandmothers, business travelers, wives and children must be subjected to what amounts to a naked photograph or an invasive physical search or be denied flight.And for what?!?! All to confirm what we already know: none of them are terrorists!

Note that Israel - the only nation on earth more leftist-despised than the United States - doesn't do any of the nonsensical things our TSA does. And when was the last time you heard of any incident on a flight to or from Israel?

Enough is Enough. Republicrats take note.

Evidence that if you work hard enough, you can make just about anything into partisan politics. Congratulations on your diligence and Machiavellian instincts.

I'm shocked, I say -- shocked!

Now follow the money again: whose brother-in-law owns the company?

I sort of wonder how many disciples of the religion of peace have been scanned as of late?

Old Ben Franklin said, "Those that give up a little essential liberty for a little security deserve either security nor liberty (sorry if it is not totally accurate, but you get the point). What would have been the outcome on 9/11 if the pilot or passangers were armed. I asked a liberal this and his response. it would have been worse. Figure that out if you have time to waste. When was the Second Amendment changed to say "But not on airplanes?"

I read where muslims only have their head and neck scanned. Is this true? If so we should all become muslims. But of I recall correctly, who is responsible for the majority of terrorism?

The New Star-Spangled Banner

Oh, say can you see into my body cavities

‘Scuse me, I’ve got gas and don’t mean to be a blast.

I was just singled out to remove all my undies

O’er the rest of you folks who were lucky and got bypassed.

And the worker’s blank stare, terrorists must be everywhere,

I guess the Bill of Rights exists no longer anywhere.

Oh, say does that freedom exist here anymore?

Are we the land of the sheep and the government to abhor?

In my butt, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,

Where the TSA fingers are now feeling in there for bombs,

What is that which the breeze, it does somewhat reek,

As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?

Now it catches the gleam of their light’s powerful beam,

Oh why does probing my butt require a TSA team?

It seems the star-spangled banner no longer waves

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And how did our Congress tell us so many lies

And took away all our rights in the 9/11 confusion.

I just wanted to fly to visit my family. Not spy.

Treating everyone like terrorists is not a good solution.

I no longer want to fly, to be treated like a spy,

It seems our Constitution has been put into a grave:

And the star-spangled banner of sheep doth wave

O'er the land of the Nazis and the home of their slaves!

Oh, thus ends our freedom in what was our holy land

Be treated like prisoners, with no rights, facing desolation!

Unless the populations wakes up to take back our motherland

We will no longer exist as a great nation.

And conquer we must, our cause it is just,

And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."

And the star-spangled banner once more can wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

The TSA, absent any security threat or provocation, recently implemented new measures to intrusively search the body of every single US air traveler. Everyone is challenged and inconvenienced. Some are concerned that the technology might be dangerous. Many apparently feel safer, protected from fellow travelers. A few are obviously concerned by the harshness and pleasure TSA agents exhibit in implementing their new authority with impunity. Very few, however, are obviously concerned that warrantless searches, conducted without probable cause, constitute unreasonable searches from which we the people are protected by our Constitution. Very few obviously care that the Constitution, which government officials swear to uphold and defend or protect, is increasingly ignored and undercut to meaninglessness by such punitive measures. Very few obviously care that this unilateral action is being taken by a government already conducting and soon to expand its illegal surveillance against us citizens. And very few obviously care that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Then none need be concerned when we assuredly will see the increasingly power hungry, fascist nature of this government fully revealed and we wake to an America that is obviously the “Land of the Free” no more.

I would like to see an experiment conducted. It would require some brave capitalists working hard to overcome some hurdles.

The experiment entails the creation and operation of two new airlines: Hambaconhansa and Smith & Wesson Unlimited Air.

All passengers on Hambaconhansa airlines flights are obliged to enjoy a pork snack of their choice in flight.

All passengers on Smith & Wesson Unlimited Air are issued handguns loaded with lightweight frangible bullets.

Continue x-ray inspecting luggage, but discontinue the meaningless harassment of passengers by blue-shirted thugs. Then, compare the security-related safety records of these two airlines with the rest.

What happened to the presumption of innocence? What is the probably cause for search and seizure under 4th amendment that simply because you are boarding a plane you may hijack it?

I recognize that it is a choice to fly and I am willing to comply with reasonable ( I use that word because lawyers and the Gov do and it works for them) measures to evaluate me as a potential threat to my fellow travelers. I do not claim an unalienable right to fly on Delta.

Unfortunately, TSA seems to be taking the simple route rather than do the real work that it takes to determine a threat. They search the stuff instead of evaluating the passenger. Of course, it is much easier to just take a naked picture, and more fun when the right passengers come along. And with our entrenched political correctness, we wouldn't dare challenge anyone of color, dialect or ones with a claim of Religious identity.

It will be interesting to see what happens when Muslim women refuse the pictures/search on religious grounds. Will they get the pass through?

The whole process is wrong and should be re-evaluated. There are better methods that could be employed, with less invasive technology, to provide a higher level of security and understanding of the threat.
