TSA to screen attendees of the DNC

[ArmedProgrammer]

Yes. And there was a thread about their presence at one of Paul Ryan's speeches in Florida. Being frisked by the Blueshirts is going to be the usual thing when going out in public. Americans tolerated them at airports and many defended them, including members here.

Surprised that the RP crowd chose to go through it, without a protest. I don't mean that as a smart arse remark. I'm honestly surprised that they did....

I continue to avoid airports.

Additionally, it would be fantastic if taxpayers weren't forced to subsidize their security screenings.

It'd be fantastic if they remembered where they left their balls , retrieve them and just stopped flying or going to events where this BS is taking place .

Until then , they get the public humiliation they deserve .

Federal agents don't enforce rules of private clubs.

Yes, they can and they do.

It is DNC property and they can do what they want with it.

It's all about property rights.

Thanks for chiming in Kirk. I know where you stand.

Isn't that like saying a rape victim deserved what she (or he!) got?

Not saying you're right or wrong, Kirk, but I'm curious: other than airlines, to which they lay dubious claim in the name of their(TSA) agency, what private clubs have their rules enforced by Federal agents?

All this time, private businesses have been hiring security personnel when they could have gotten it free from uncle sug.

Bill, you could make a valid argument that a rape victim deserved it in the event that person went to the domicile of a known rapist, stripped, 'assumed the position', all without any coercion other than knowing it was expected, therefore accepting it or choosing to leave, and suffered the obvious consequences having gone into the situation knowing in advance that it was going to happen. In the case of rape, that would most likely be dismissed as being consensual.

The TSA is a travesty which needs a permanent place in the ash heap of history, but as of the present we are not compelled to engage in activities which put us in harm's way. A general boycott of air travel should put an end to the insanity.

A fair comparison; if consensual, it's not rape. I do believe that airlines have a right to enforce what security (or any other) measures they wish, just as does any other private business, understanding that 1) they pay for the costs of that out of their own pockets and 2) they agree to suffer the consequences on the free and open market.

Were I to somehow come into an enormous sum of money, say, in the multiple trillions, and choose to start my own airline, could I do so and choose to avoid the TSA circus? I don't believe I could, legally, though I *should* be able to, if indeed there is a free market. I'd have to provide my own security, of course, but it would be of a completely different model than is currently used. I'd love to see it prove itself; sadly, I don't think that will ever happen. I'll keep it as a dream, though.

Blessings,
Bill

I'll go along with this, although I would really prefer to find a way to expand the pretense that we are still operating as a constitutional republic sufficiently to see the Fourth Amendment apply to being secure in our persons!

My wife and I will fly commercially for the first time since 9/11 this coming March. If I get a dude feeling me up, I just may act like I'm enjoying it.

Or you could not shower for a few days prior to the flight, or rip huge farts while they're doing a patdown, or do all of the above.

This is the time where the practice of tactically soiling oneself comes in handy.

No, I have no experience with this practice, and

I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'...
