"New TSA procedures keep us safe."

[ThatsMyBarack]

Every time someone on the TV news says that, I think of sheeple waving the flag to the "God Bless the USA" song.

Wonder why that is..?

1. Then why were the scanners turned off today?

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. I know why

see what I said about an adult conversation that is not happening. This don't help!

[sally cat]

8. I'll bite. Why?

9. If this is about security but you turn them off

to avoid the political point, then what was it, Wednesday is terror free day?

10. If this is about security but you turn them off

to avoid the political point, then what was it, Wednesday is terror free day?

2. I think of a flock of sheep, moving along nicely

Unfortunately, only a few of us frogs are willing to jump out of the pot of about-to-be-boiled water. The clueless majority just thinks that it's a hot tub.

15. Interesting analogy.

In France such a protest would hardly be a lame whisper in the wind. When they are pissed, they really let their government know it. Here, we just hope someone else does it so we can catch them later on the 6:00 news.

3. And I think that Janet Napolitano

is a stupid ass control freak.

5. Truth always usurps propaganda in the end

We the people have faced a >10 year war where a few "elites" have profited and have done very well because there is gold in them thar hills of defending terrorism, all the while the USA has lost much and others have lost more either in family or lives.

The WOT is about money and keeping the game going and has little to do with what our controlled media might try and tell us.

6. I think it is perfectly assinine that a conservative friend and I are

together on the TSA controversy - I'm against it because of the civil rights issue. She is against it because Obama is for it. JEEZ!

7. Yeah, and

"It's not the time or place to be protesting. "

It's not safe to be protesting, one may guess?

12. We're told we need scanners because of the underwear bomber.

But didn't we foil the underwear bomber plot without having scanners?

13. Doesn't make sense, does it?

14. Quit Thinking

Great point, but only if you are trapped into that silly notion that thinking is somehow good. :sarcasm:

16. Yes, you can't be killed in a hijacking if you refuse to fly.
