The ultra rich will never be groped by TSA
Because they fly by private jet, have their own small terminals and/or fly out of small airstrips. They will never have to be subjected to TSA humiliation.

But for the rest of us, it's bend over and take it.

2. And that, is the conclusion in a nutshell, if you'll forgive the pun. The rich vs the rest of us.
Soon, the cattle are going to stampede.

4. The TSA has actually been trying to get control of small airfields for years.
If it were up to them, you'd have to go through these checks for every flight. They've also already requested mandatory background checks on passengers on private flights. So far, the requests haven't progressed much (nor should they...the TSA is doing a terrible job at its CURRENT locations, the last thing we need to do is expand their authority further.)

6. But will this give a whole new outlook
on Rep. Boner? He's said he's going to fly commerically. Maybe the new TSA rules is why. :shrug:

7. Well, if it's any consolation....
My brother ferries the uber-rich around in Lear jets, and he says a vast majority of them are unhappy assholes.
