I object. I like my junk to be seen and appreciated......

 

Bomb in the subway would not be all that effective. I believe they are planning some type of nasty virus to use there.

Well, at least seen, even if not appreciated. :cornut:

Agree it's long over due that our government officials and politicians live by the same rules and conditions that we do.

 

I think a bomb in any subway would be very effective. It's not the damage that is caused, it's the perceived damage that freaks everyone out, hence the pat downs, scans, and higher alert levels.

A great alternative to body scanners at airports

The Israelis are developing an airport security device that eliminates the privacy concerns that come with full-body scanners at the airports.
It's a booth you can step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have on you. They see this as a win-win for everyone, with none of the whining about racial profiling. It also would eliminate the costs of long and expensive trials. Justice would be swift. Case closed!
You're in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter an announcement comes over the PA system: "Attention standby passengers — we now have a seat available on flight number ____. Shalom

Perfect, I like it!!!!

 

That won't work in America at all.

The first person to be blown up's family will file a huge lawsuit against the airport and probably win.:mad2::incazzato::mad5:

 

Yep. It will be something about cruel and unusual despite the fact that they were trying to inflict the same.

 

Yeah.....
And the Israeli legal system just received a similar but slightly modified box. The whole family, including the lawyer can fit in the box. You get the same muffled pop..... Next case please.

 

Thank you. Could not have said it better.

 

I liken this government intrusion to the way we slowly give up our rights over time. If 100 years ago, the government would have said we are going to tax you more than half your pay (income tax, sales tax, property tax, tolls, park fees, filing fees etc..) there would have been a revolution. But over time they slowly bled the public.

This is the same thing. Let's violate civil liberties slowly so it hurts less. For all of you that are in favor of this for some so called safety, where is your line? If this is ok, what is not? And if you agree to give up this liberty, how can you balk at future liberties?

I believe we give up NO rights for safety or any other reason, or we are doomed to a future police state.

Best line I heard, that I unfortunately cannot credit the source:

How do I tell my child that no one is allowed to touch them there, unless it's the government, then it's ok?

 

+1 for that Way!

 

This is pretty funny. An old Army buddy/roommate of mine is now a TSA agent. I just read through his FB posts where him and his "co-conspirators" are bitching about opt-outs slowing things up.

Flip side of the coin.

 

I had a TSA search recently.

I kind of liked it.

After the first search I smoked a cigarette (which is odd, since I don't smoke), I asked her to do it again, even offered to put a dollar bill in her belt, and gave her some advice on how to make the search even better, but for some reason she took offense.

If you could chose who does the search, I think it would be much more popular....

 

So in reality.....
If you "op-out", you are really just participating in the government sponsored "Group Grope" program.

 

LOL, Nathan Fillion retweeted this from Joel McHale: "If you’re receiving a security pat-down at the Boise Airport’s C Concourse, ask for Jerry. He has really soft hands." Found it amusing(in a "Police State and You" kind of way).

 

I can't wait to see what happens when a covey on Nuns show up at the airport on their way back to their convent.

 

A covey? How do you know this?
