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 ... MORE3 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. ... MORENaked Passenger Images Provide Laughs For TSA Officers
by Paul Joseph Watson. A former TSA screener turned blogger who is now causing embarrassment for the federal agency has revealed that TSA officers routinely laugh at and make fun of passengers’ nude body scanner images in back rooms. In a blog entitled Taking Sense Away,
the anonymous ex-TSA worker reveals how he, “Witnessed light ... MOREChristopher 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 ... MOREBecky 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 ... MORETSA Exposes Breast Of Congressman's Teen Relative
by Jim Kane. A TSA screener exposed the breasts of the teen grandniece of a member of the House of Representatives, before she boarded a plane at LAX for a trip with her church group. Texas Rep. Ralph Hall's grandniece was apparently subjected to frontal nudity during the intrusive "pat-down" she received from an airport thug. ... MOREMark Mitchell: Is The TSA Killing Us?
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. Some who seek to avoid the inconvenience of air travel will pack up their cars and hit the road. According to AAA, more Americans will be traveling ... MOREChristopher Elliott: Democrats, Republicans And The TSA
Like it or not, TSA is an election year issue. American voters, who have felt powerless against the allegedly invasive screening methods used by an expanding TSA, got an unexpected gift from a very unexpected place last week. At the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., the party adopted a platform that included a pledge to reform the TSA. ... MORETheo Caldwell: Police-State Conventions
Republicans need to rethink domestic security. “They know better than we do.” This was the comment of a Republican attendee, surveying the massive security surrounding us at the GOP Convention in Tampa. What began as a mumbled musing about the militarization of an American metropolis settled into a calm self-assurance that, ... MORESteve Gunn: Just Say No When The TSA Asks You To Chat
A bizarre and outlandish violation of the Fourth Amendment. I came face-to-face with Big Brother the other day, and it was a frightening experience. He actually presented himself in the deceptive form of a young, attractive female officer, working for the Transportation Security Administration at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. At first she ... MOREPaul J. Watson: Questioning Authority Is Suspicious Activity
Man kicked off flight for anti-TSA shirt.

Security measures or offensive power trips? What do you get when you mix racial profiling and sexual assault? The Transportation Security Administration, apparently. After more than 30 TSA agents claimed that coworkers were targeting Hispanics, blacks, and those of Middle Eastern descent during security checks at Logan International ... MOREKatie Kieffer: TSA Is A Carcinogenic Petting Zoo
Why aren't our bodies treated like private property? The TSA is effectively an unconstitutional, carcinogenic petting zoo. Deep down, we all feel that the airport security system is an FDA-approved rubdown and radiation parlor. But we are busy, rushing to catch flights, and we tell ourselves it is for our “safety.” So, like sheep, we comply. ... MOREChristopher Elliott: Who Are The Real TSA Dissidents?
Liberty-lovers are losing their country. See the footage of Julio Rausseo, an activist and journalist, at Chicago's Union Station the day after the Fourth of July. Why is he so upset? Because there are TSA agents at the train station, and they're about to set up a screening area. This audio recording was taken a week later, after Rausseo posted the first ... MORE
Christopher Elliott: The TSA Has A Little Penis Problem
Not a tyrannical agency? Please watch the video. We could be talking about meaningful things today, like the "not guilty" verdict for TSA protester John Brennan. We could be discussing the latest screening outrage, which involves a passenger's feeding tube. We might even debate why the agency assigned to protect America's transportation ... MORE
