As he left Washington on Friday, Mr. Boehner headed across the Potomac River to Reagan National Airport, which was bustling with afternoon travelers. But there was no waiting in line for Mr. Boehner, who was escorted around the metal detectors and body scanners, and taken directly to the gate

2. I believe it's limited to congresspeople

Who have security details. The secret service isn't going to allow a security guard to pat down their protectee.

11. Does the Secret Service protect congress critters?

IMO they should be patted down too. There was a time they could be assumed to be sane. Not any more.

3. And yet Boehner-man and his buddies are holding America hostage

and terrorizing the citizenry with pathetic obstructionist bullshit politics just because they want to see our President fail.

Homegrown terrorists anyone? Their terror is far more outreaching than any bomber.

7. I know it's easy to be outraged...

...but the guy is the House Minority Leader and will soon be the Speaker of the House. Does anyone honestly think he represents a threat to airline safety? I remember a few years back when Al Gore was pulled out for "additional screening" - give me a fucking break. Whatever you might think of TSA, they do have a job to do, and when they waste their time on the likes of a former Vice President of the freakin' United States or the guy in charge of the House of Representatives, they are completely missing the point of the system.

10. why do I represent a threat to security or you? its a quickly slipping slope to a real police state

can you imagine your grandparents in the 40's, 50's or 60's putting up with useless invasive crap like this? I cant.
