The TSA people took away everything I had with me, except this bottle of holy water.  For some reason they seemed scared to touch it.

I got raped by the TSA and all I got was this lousy t-shirt :(
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

My wife just called to relay her wonderful experience with the fine folks at the TSA. Apparently, while going through the nude-o-scope, the underwire on her bra looked threatening. So she had the pleasure of a government employee's hands getting intimately acquainted with her breasts, before she was deemed 'not a terrorist.'  ;/ I'm thinking since she wears a DD, she's probably going to get felt up on a fairly regular basis now, no doubt because her bra could kill us all.  :facepalm:

I'm assuming they had a female TSA employee cop the feel. Did she (the TSA employee) look butch?

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Hmmmm, young, muslim male.   Nope, I'd say fits the profile.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I'll try again anyways.  I'm dense like that.

-Its no longer about preventing terror.  It hasn't been for a long time.  Its about over reaching government desperate to justify stripping us of our liberties and monies.  Without increasing threats from terror, TSA can't justify its budget.
There are scores of ways to keep travel reasonably safe without trampling our rights and liberties.  Metal detectors, Xray machines, and bomb sniffing dogs.  Better trained gate and security agents.  The "random" pat downs and nudoscopes have gone too far.  Simply by trying to fly, we are being treated as criminal suspects.  Because yes, thats the kind of treatment you get when you're arrested.
In this day and age of interstate and international commerce, traveling by air is an essential liberty, necessary to economic freedom and growth. 

Obviously, you are happy to trade your liberty for statist security.  The TSA has already made it clear they want to field this type of "security" at stadiums, bus terminals, and even random checkpoints.  Give a little, they take alot.

TSA singles out and pats down the Indian Ambassador, twice.  India isn't happy.

Now, I'm not all that huge of a fan of diplomatic immunity, but I understand the reason for it.  Apparently, TSA thinks they're exempt from that practice.
