Bill Sanderson: TSA Guys Hard On Sex Toys
Airport screeners love rifling through sex toys. Airport-security screeners apparently get a kink out of rifling through your sexy baggage. “My checked bag is searched almost every time I fly. I guess I’m just lucky, or look suspicious!” said sex blogger Rori Sweet of the DC area. Kitty Stryker, a California sex educator, added, “They always ... MORE
Tristan Higgins: Why I Hate The TSA
Ignorance and humiliation "public servant-style." Some days are worse than others. I've talked a lot on my blog
about what I experience as a butch lesbian, specifically how people
interact with me when they see that I don't conform to the gender
identities that they expect. I feel all lined up on the inside -- I am a
woman physically, and I feel like ... MORE
Rand Paul To Take On TSA Once Again
Privatize security. We’ve complained long and hard about the TSA and it’s terrible “security” practices for years. It’s a horrible agency that should have never been instituted. Fortunately, Rand Paul is on the case: Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said he will very likely re-introduce legislation to drastically scale back the Transportation Securities ... MORE

3 Troubling Ways TSA Punishes Passengers Who Opt Out
Intimidation, harassment and retaliatory wait time. If you don't want to walk through a poorly tested full-body scanner or have a TSA agent belittle your anatomy before your next flight, then you still have the right to opt out and submit to an "enhanced" pat-down. That's exactly what I did on a recent trip from Orlando to Atlanta. ... MORE

Katie Kieffer: 12 Liberal Pledges For The New Year
Conquering one form of mental illness. Here are twelve comical but true resolutions that every liberal should make for 2013: 1.) Resolve to spend time with gun-owners. I have a liberal friend who says she would rather be in the same room as a cobra snake than a gun, even an unloaded gun. Guns really, really scare her. But guns don’t kill. ... MORE

Christopher Elliott: 3 Reasons Terrorists Laugh At Us
Thanks, TSA. Nothing will wipe a grin off your face faster than a squad of Navy SEALs rappelling into your anonymous compound from a Black Hawk. But while Osama Bin Laden is dead and gone, and unable to mock America's clumsy efforts to protect its planes from our Homeland-fueled fantasies, his disciples are more than capable of laughing at us. And laugh they ... MORE

Becky Akers: Gutsy Granny Stumps The TSA
How to treat the government groppers. A reader who wished me to identify her by name and location until I talked her out of it offered this advice for Women of a Certain Age who must endure aviation’s gulag: …I never go through the back scatter machine -- and in [the airport closest to her home], there are no options, the regular metal detectors ...

More take to the dangerous roads to avoid TSA hassle. As we enter into the busiest travel time of the year, long lines at airport security are among the many peeves travelers will encounter.

Doug Doan: Homeland Security - What Next?
What we should do next. So far, none of the presidential candidates have mentioned much about Homeland Security. With so many other problems, issues surrounding how best to organize, manage and lead the vast DHS bureaucracy are just not that important. Too bad. I would have liked to see the candidates talk about what they might do. Here is an agenda ... MORE
Becky Akers: The TSA Gives Us The Finger Again
New ways to monitor the human livestock. The Thieves and Sexual Assailants are playing musical chairs with their porno-scanners. They’re shuffling carcinogenic backscatter X-ray machines out of larger airports, such as New York’s LaGuardia and JFK International, into smaller ones — but that doesn’t mean they’ve renounced their ...

Katie Kieffer: Eliminate The TSA
What if we wanted to return to the Constitution? I’m reading the Constitution and I do not see a “Grope or Scan” clause. The TSA is unconstitutional. Let’s eliminate the TSA. If you read my columns regularly, you know that I consider the TSA to be a carcinogenic petting zoo.
I nearly always opt out. I object to the scanners on principle of their ... MORE
Zack Fulkerson: Privacy Under Attack
TSA and police drag 4th Amendment through the mud. The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America reads: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, ...
