Either we are equal or we are not. Good people ought to be armed where they will, with wits and guns and the truth.TSA KMA$$
The TSA is really a bunch of knuckleheads on a power trip. Hooray for the Campaign for Liberty. Fighting tyranny wherever it rears its' ugly head!Shortly before being deployed, I flew to kalifornia for some training. I flew in uniform, and upon return to the Ontario airport, a screener all but strip searched me.
I guess soldiers in uniform look like terrorists. :? The TSA is nothing short of a group of jack booted thugs. I hold mall ninjas in higher regard.

I'd rather we just get rid of the TSA altogether. Lets see, how does that quote go??? Oh yeah, "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."Good. If that works, maybe next they'll get rid of those dumbass zipblock bag rules.
don't fly.
:monkeyI have an idea to save the reputation of the TSA. Instead of spending tons of cash we don't have on new screening methods, lets spend money on handguns.
If you walk through the metal detector, and it fails to beep, you would hear, "Would you likea GLOCK or a Springfield, Sir?"
Or take the train. I have flown only once (commercially) since 9/11 and that waslast year when the tracks got flooded out in Iowa and Nebraska and I had to go to Chicago for a conference.I just refuse to pay good money to be stripped of my rights by the TSA. I'd rather drive.
I have advocated that since the 1970s when planes were getting hijacked to Cuba.I have an idea to save the reputation of the TSA. Instead of spending tons of cash we don't have on new screening methods, lets spend money on handguns.

You better check again.
TSA is coming to a railroad near you. Soon.
Buses, too.
They have been stopping cars and searching trailers at Hover Dam since 9/11.In any case, driving isn't foolproof, either, since TSA/state police/National Guard/Border Patrolcould theoretically start searching cars before allowing you to cross bridges or tunnels or any other nonsense they can make up.
I rode a Greyhound from Walla Walla to Grand Junction, a milk run. The bus would stop at the thirty-third power pole from some junction and an old Indian would shoulder his knapsack and walk towards the horizon. Ten minutes later and the bus would stop in the middle of nowhere and an identical looking old guy would get on. It happened many times.They've been saying this for years, but I don't see how they could implement it. Most train and bus stops are just a concrete platform out in the middle of nowhere.
That nonsense already occurs.In any case, driving isn't foolproof, either, since TSA/state police/National Guard/Border Patrolcould theoretically start searching cars before allowing you to cross bridges or tunnels or any other nonsense they can make up.
