Of the sons of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their kinsmen were at their command — 1 Chronicles 12:32
The hypocrisy of the liberals is, as always, beyond belief.
Remember how they bitched about every Bush national security program, no matter how obviously necessary each program clearly was? The Patriot Act was a despicable and un-American violation of our freedoms. Domestic Eavesdropping of telephone calls to or from people on terrorist watch lists was a despicable and un-American violation of our freedoms. Even though there was absolutely no evidence whatsoever than a single American citizen had his or her rights deprived. Now they rabidly defend treating every single American who flies like a terrorist, in obvious violation of their 4th Amendment rights.
Well, for the record, no we don’t. We could be like the Israelis – who have the safest record in the world – and profile.
But look at this: the TSA has now exempted the pilots and the flight attendants (union employees, both) from a clearly despicable and un-American violation of their rights and freedoms. The Obama administration is going to exempt union workers from having their 4th Amendment rights violated, but will go ahead and keep violating every other citizen’s 4th Amendment rights.
TSA spokesman Nicholas Kimball said, “Flight attendants, like pilots, are a known and trusted group.”
Now, that’s common sense, on one hand. But it’s also clearly “profiling.”
For example, aren’t elderly nuns ALSO a “known and trusted group”??? What evidence can the government provide that elderly nuns should be less trusted than pilots and flight attendants?
Now show me the elderly nun who has crashed a passenger jet aircraft.
Now that we’ve established the “known and trusted” character of elderly nuns in relation to the considerably less “known and trusted” status of pilots and flight attendants, can’t we also easily come up with a long, long, long list of people who are in a “known and trusted group”???
As an example, not only have I never committed a terrorist act, but no one LIKE ME ever has, either. Unlike, say, airline pilots. Which is to say I’M part of a “known and trusted group,” too. Dammit.
But, no. Because liberals are jackasses and fools, I have to be treated just like the groups that clearly are NOT to be trusted. Because for liberals, to treat the group that is responsible for 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999% of all terrorist attacks differently than my group that has never attacked anybody is somehow wrong.
What can I say, but, “I know why the caged bird sings…”
Update, 11/23/10: A CNN report (click here for the video) effectively blows to smithereens the Obama administration deceit that the “enhanced” security measures do any good at all.
But that aint stopping Obama from moving “fool speed ahead”:
[End update]
In the age of Obama, The TSA is making sure to put the T and A in “TSA.”
We don’t need no porno-scanners
We don’t need no weird gropings
No sex offenses in our airports
Obama leave those kids alone
Hey! Obama! Leave my junk alone!
All in all it’s NOT another brick in the wall.
All in all you’re NOT another brick in the wall
We need a new book for children in our public schools now to go along with all the ones about having two daddies:
But don’t feel left out. Because Obama doesn’t just want to do an “aggressive pat-down” of your little boys and girls. He’s an equal opportunity junk fondler:
Here’s a junk-fondling story for you junk-fondling story lovers:
Her name is Cathy Bossy, a 32-year industry veteran, and in a remarkable interview with WBTVshe recalls a screening episode that played out some three months back. (Pat-Downs 101: Find out what’s in store for you)
Working as a flight attendant, Bossy tells WBTV that she was subjected in North Carolina to one of the first rounds of inspections via full body-scanners; a procedure that concerned this breast cancer survivor from the start, due to the radiation involved.
But it was when she was selected for a more thorough pat-down that she says an uncomfortable situation crossed the line.
Bossy told WBTV that her screener zeroed in quickly on her right breast – a prosthetic breast she was fitted with after cancer surgery – and demanded to know why the breast felt unusual. When informed that it was a prosthesis, the inspector allegedly instructed Bossy to both show, and then remove, the artificial extension.
Hey! Obama! Leave her junk alone! And I mean her prosthetic junk, too.
What in the world is wrong with you people???
If someone did that to my mother, there would be some payback.
And by titling the article, “The TSA Horror Story to Trump Them All,” it was practically a dare for the TSA to provide an even better horror story – which they were easily able to provide:
A retired special education teacher on his way to a wedding in Orlando, Fla., said he was left humiliated, crying and covered with his own urine after an enhanced pat-down by TSA officers recently at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
“I was absolutely humiliated, I couldn’t even speak,” said Thomas D. “Tom” Sawyer, 61, of Lansing, Mich.
Sawyer is a bladder cancer survivor who now wears a urostomy bag, which collects his urine from a stoma, or opening in his abdomen. “I have to wear special clothes and in order to mount the bag I have to seal a wafer to my stomach and then attach the bag. If the seal is broken, urine can leak all over my body and clothes.”
On Nov. 7, Sawyer said he went through the security scanner at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. “Evidently the scanner picked up on my urostomy bag, because I was chosen for a pat-down procedure.”
Due to his medical condition, Sawyer asked to be screened in private. “One officer looked at another, rolled his eyes and said that they really didn’t have any place to take me,” said Sawyer. “After I said again that I’d like privacy, they took me to an office.”
Sawyer wears pants two sizes too large in order to accommodate the medical equipment he wears. He’d taken off his belt to go through the scanner and once in the office with security personnel, his pants fell down around his ankles. “I had to ask twice if it was OK to pull up my shorts,” said Sawyer, “And every time I tried to tell them about my medical condition, they said they didn’t need to know about that.”
Do this kind of stuff with the wrong guy’s dad, and you’re going to see a whole new kind of “domestic terrorist.”
Now, if this man voted for Obama, they should strip him naked in public and double check all his cavities using a dirty toilet plunger. And let him cry a river. Because if you voted for a fascist, you should get your fascism right up your wazoo. But if not, this crap is just depraved.
Do we need this for our national security?
Do you know how many terrorists the TSA have busted? Try ZERO. And that’s ZERO-POINT-ZERO-ZERO for you math whizzes.
What do the experts of the world’s most successful nation dealing with terrorism have to say about the Tits and Ass Agency’s methods?
Leading Israeli airport security expert says the Canadian government has wasted millions of dollars to install “useless” imaging machines at airports across the country.
“I don’t know why everybody is running to buy these expensive and useless machines. I can overcome the body scanners with enough explosives to bring down a Boeing 747,” Rafi Sela told parliamentarians probing the state of aviation safety in Canada.
“That’s why we haven’t put them in our airport,” Sela said, referring to Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport, which has some of the toughest security in the world.
Sela, former chief security officer of the Israel Airport Authority and a 30-year veteran in airport security and defence technology, helped design the security at Ben Gurion.
“Expensive and useless.” That’s the entire Obama presidency summed up in three words.
The fact of the matter is that you can bring down a 747 with just a few grams of PETN, if you know where to sit on an aircraft (and the terrorists know where to sit). You can insert the device in your anal cavity, and there is no way the machines will pick it up. As for the enhanced patdowns (or whatever you want to call the gropings), try to feel something that could be the size of a grain of rice wearing latex gloves.
PETN has a relative effectiveness factor of 1.66 per 1.773 grams which produces a detonation velocity of 8400 meters per second. 0.6 kilograms of PETN is equal to the destructive power of 1 kilogram of TNT… [A] single gram of it would have been enough to rip apart the section of the plane in which he was located in mere tenths of a second were it exposed to its autoignition temperature
Soon a terrorist will bring down a plane with an explosive that he had up his anal cavity. And the day after that the Tits and Ass Agency will be requiring everyone flying to submit to bending over, dropping their drawers or hiking their skirts, and submitting to an anal probing.
Because anal probings are the inherent nature of liberalism, anyway.
Which is to say, no matter how you slice it, we don’t need Obama’s porno-cancer scanner machines, or his hired federal gropers to have security.
Common sense is like rocket science to moral idiots. And Barry Hussein, Eric Holder, Janet Napolitano and everyone else he’s brought on board is a genuine moral idiot.
Liberals self-righteously tell us that profiling Muslims by race would be un-American. Because “American” to them means that we must instead treat EVERYONE like a terrorist. A flight attendant with a prosthetic breast is as much a security threat as a 23 year-old Muslim male just arriving from Yemen. To single anyone out for scrutiny would make sense, and we won’t have that as long as Barry Hussein is our emperor. Because in Obama’s liberal America we stand like sheep in front of porno-scanners that take naked pictures of us, and then we stand like sheep while we’re groped by professional government gropers.
They don’t want to violate anybody’s rights. Far better to violate EVERYBODY’S rights instead.
Remember the ecstatic Newsweek headline, “We Are All Socialists Now”??? Socialism invariably ends up treating the people like the enemy. Think Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, with their Berlin Wall and all the machine gun emplacements to gun down anyone trying to get out.
If you don’t think it’s bad enough now as it is, the Tits and Ass Agency wants to unionize, which would make them even more intrusive and impervious than they already are.
