http://www.tsa.gov/ Well it's after dinner around my area so I think it is safe to post this information although I caution readers to keep a large supply of air sick bags handy if you can stomach getting through the whole presentation. On the TSA page to the right side is a link to Pistoles video. Just below that one can get a text version of the talk. Just a snippet: I would be a (expletive deleted) of a lot happier if Pistole had the intelligence to know that abusing the public is wrong. Making 12 year old little girls so scared that they cry is wrong. That strip searching old ladies is wrong. That TSA sticking their grubby paws in our crotches without cause is wrong. You know, the problem is that TSA is just wrong for America.
Thanks, RB. I had to break for sickness after the part about random selections, "(chuckle) Well, they're not really random..." I had an overwhelming urge to illustrate based on the following, uncanny resemblance:
What a total crock of ! Yes, the scum made a difference in our lives. We quit flying after one of their perverts assaulted my wife (ran her hands up under my wife's bra) at STL on the inaugural day (Nov 1 2010) of the scope 'n grope policy. Rot in (expletive deleted), Pissy.
I get the feeling that Pistole knows all of that is wrong. He just doesn't care - like the majority of his goose-stepping blue-shirted thugs, who couldn't care less what they have to do to get their paycheck as long as it doesn't involve real risk or real labor.
Am I a total weakling in that I can't even bring myself to watch this? I would way rather watch a canine snuff film. Pistole would do much worse things to my stomach, not to mention blood pressure.
Looking under people's clothing was manifestly and obviously wrong (OK, they DID put a bag over our face) yet they did it deliberately and after years of consideration; they continued with it and and recently tried to continue this at small airports. Feeling high up the crotch contacting genitalia on people, feeling over people's breasts and obscenely rubbing their buttocks where these people are suspected of nothing, guilty of nothing other than purchasing a plane ticket is manifestly wrong. It is evil and wicked and against both the spirit and letter of the Constitution that alone makes our common life a civil one and not one of tyranny imposed from above. Using a swab test that alerts on commonly used household items, and in fact has alerted thus falsely in 100% of the cases, where the resolution is to terrify, humiliate, and sexually molest those guilty of using commonly possessed household items, is evil, wicked, and contrary to common decency and common sense. Using an ATR technology that alerts on feminine hygiene articles and bra straps common to half the population and resolving them by invasive feeling over of the areas is also wrong, contrary to the Constitution and common sense and common decency. Your job, Mr. Pistole, is to provide as much security as you can GIVEN THE LIMITS imposed by common human decency and our Constitution's plain black and white words, Don't hide behind the lawyers, John, just read the words of the 4th, as we do.
I wanted to leave a message of my own, adding that this child molester should be in jail but he pr*cks disabled comments. Pretty much says it all about TSA doesn't it? p.s. I went back and reported the video and filed a complaint that by barring comments and ratings TSA is posting propaganda and infringing my First Amendment rights (redress) unless they permit comments and ratings. Doubt it will go anywhere but it will give me a reason to bitch to You Tube when more TSA tripe shows up.
Which makes him an even more dispicable slimball. I may have to fly in a couple of months due to some serious time contraints and a spouse who might not be able to ride in a ground vehicle for the length of time it would take to drive, even with frequent rest breaks. Not looking forward to the experience. If TSA has done any one thing it is to ruin any enjoyment of air travel.
Just think of it as the latest Friday the 13th sequel. Memo to Pissy: Have you read any comments on TSA articles lately? Consent of the governed has been revoked.
