It looks like Don'tTouchMyJunkGate petered out

[SaveAmerica]

and I had so much popcorn popped.

2. Americans are too weak to protest anything.

[flvegan]

3. I see what you did there.

"petered out"

*snicker*

4. About as successful as Turn Your Back on Bush in 2002

They tried to get people at Ohio State to turn their backs on Bush at his commencement speech. There were 60,000 in the stadium, and at the appointed time...about 5 people turned their back on Bush.

5. I don't think you are abreast of the real situation and

your argument is a limp attempt to feel things through
not having the balls to say what's on your mind.

The orifice of your thoughts need to be examined more.

[sally cat]

16. There's an app for that.

17. Thank God someone gets it

I thought the whole thread would be filled with sardonic sexual political social innuendoes and metaphors.

[SaveAmerica]

18. This thread brought to you by Johnson and Johnson

Great for every member of your family.

6. Normally they select 2% of the flyers

I suspect today that was not reached.

that is for starters. And if you think I am crazy about this... well I know how government works.

People going over through the magnetometer is normal.

And they were some protest.

I also suspect we haven't had that many stories on purpose.

7. As I expected.

[WilliamPitt]

8. Not around here.

9. Travelers are reporting that the scanners aren't being used today at

some airports and people are going through the metal detectors like in the good old days. Looks like TSA may have blinked.

[frazzled]

10. Not everyone goes through a scanner at every aiport

(I've been flying a fair amount this past month -- on three trips I went through a scanner once).

These are the facts: people are choosing the scanner when presented with it, most don't care.

The Limbaughs and Fox Newses lose on this one.

[sally cat]

11. TSA would have been nuts to have the scanners going today. But what about our safety?

Oh, Wednesdays are safe, terrorists day off.

12. We Need a New and more Extensive Patriotic Act

To make you Free and a Patriot.

[LibDemAlways]

13. It's all bullshit. Clearly easier to turn them off and put everybody

through the metal detectors than risk having people say "hell no" and force TSA to do a grope-a-thon.

[cleanhippie]

14. It was all media hype.

[katandmoon]

15. Bush II sufficiently fearmongered to make Obama's job so much easier.
