Obama On TSA Screening Anger: I Get It

You don't give up your Constitutional rights to get on an airplane. In modern times, where people's jobs are dependent upon their being able to get from point A to point B in record time (or getting home from vacations at a particular time in order to make it back to work on time) plane travel is a *have to*. Right after 9/11 (before, actually, when my family fell victim to an act of t3rr0r), I said that it's very easy for the government to keep Americans safe from terr0r attacks by locking everybody up into controllable quadrants, invading all of our privacy and restricting our freedom of movement. We would all be living like the world was one great big prison. But the government has no right to do that, it is prohibited from doing that, and it's unnecessary. And to do that would have a chilling effect on our very nature and identities as free people. Nothing of the abuses being committed by our government have anything to do with keeping us safe. It's about lending the illusion that we are safe, in order that commerce continues. If you have been reading and watching news reports, these scanners aren't being used and wouldn't necessarily have prevented what you're so terr!fied of. And the grope-downs are not SOP, not being performed correctly, and also wouldn't prevent what yo're so terr!fied of. The reason for the scanners is to bilk taxpayers out of money to pay a manufacturer for these machines. There are serious questions about their safety, as well. The grope-downs are NOT how pat downs are supposed to be done, so the persons groping are either s3x offending id-jits or warped, twisted nvtcases practicing their own ideas for catching t3rror!sts. But none of what's going on is what we should expect of professional security services in the US. What we're seeing and experiencing is as if the Three Stooges took over the Department Of Homeland Security. An anti-terrorism specialist for the Israeli Secret Services, and the former director of security for El Al Airlines (and currently running a security consulting firm in New Jersey) was on Countdown with Keith Olbermann last week. He explains why and how Israel and other nations have the most secure airlines in the world, nearly perfect safety and security records, without using scanners or body searches.
