No one has the right to grope passengers

[malaise]

It is a violation of our rights.

[leftstreet]

1. Has any worker been charged or convicted of 'groping?'

:shrug:

[DrDan]

2. and everyone has a right to decent healthcare and the basic needs of life

doesn't mean a thing these days.

[elleng]

3. Yes, but a search is not a grope.

[malaise]

5. Any stranger touching me is an invasion of privacy

Sorry - it is wrong

[jberryhill]

12. I love binary thinking

If I see you passed out on the street, and a truck is coming from a block away, then you better have a t-shirt stating your policy. Otherwise, I might do something stupid like, pull you out of the way.

Stating absolutes is fun, but not very thoughtful.

17. If they put blue latex gloves on that makes it legal.

:sarcasm:

[Mona Blue]

4. when your plane breaks up while landing and you see a bright flash

think about that.

[DainBramaged]

7. Really? You think the sniffers, dogs, multitudinous searches will miss something HERE

but not overseas as has been the case so so many times?


Did you come here to tell us your version of the Apocalypse or are you just glad to give us a thorough search?

[Dappleganger]

8. Fuck that.

I would rather that happen than to give up my 4th amendment rights of unreasonable search and seizure.

[rug]

10. If this country can prevent that only by grabbing my balls, it's not worth saving.

[csziggy]

9. Think about this - most packages sent on domestic flights do not go through screening

So there is more danger from them than from underwear bombers.

Why are you so willing to give up your rights? That seems un-American to me - after all, generations of Americans have fought for our rights, why should we give them up because airport security for flights in September 2001 missed a bunch of box cutters? Think about that.

6. No one has the right to board an airplane, either.

Read the language on the back of your ticket. It's a contract.

[lame54]

11. A real turn on the old "Fly Me" ads

[moondust]

13. Isn't this getting blown ridicuously out of proportion?

I have no need to fly anymore so it is not a big concern to me personally but...I have a hard time believing that TSA people are actually "groping" anybody.

:shrug:

[leftstreet]

14. The Capitalist Class is on a relentless drive to privatize all govt services

And they're practically using Iraq War Propaganda techniques to accomplish it

It's happening in education, prisons, you name it.

[moondust]

15. Aha!

A smear job to enable the privatization of the TSA! :think: Now I get it! Thanks!

[Capn Sunshine]

16. I'm not gonna stop now, I've been doing it for years.

What about MY rights?
