I for one would rather die in midair then be groped by the TSA. And I will NEVER take my children on an airplane as long as the TSA is touching children.
For a decade I flew 4 times a year. Now I dont fly at all. Fuck them and their government subsidized kid touching pizza box job advertised asses.

The United States is not a totalitarian government, nor was it ever intended to be, and although we seem to be moving towards socialism at a rather alarming rate - the United States still stands for freedom and liberty for each and every individual, and citizen.
It has been said that for a government to be owned by the people, the government should fear the boss - the people, thus, the government should fear, NEVER the people of their own government, because if they do, then the government is illegitimate and out for its own interests and eventually may find a place and time when it no longer needs the people, because they are a burden.
The politics of fear" is being used, not only by terror groups, militias and dictatorships but, increasingly, by the U.S. government on its own people. Following widespread introduction of anti-terrorism legislation the U.S. government has exploited public fears about uncontrolled travel and illegal immigration to justify tough measures to control our borders and travel. This use of public fear has recently become a major weapon of U.S. government oppression that is leading to a dangerously divided country. It is starting to create a depressing catalogue of human rights abuses that is accelerating.
I prefer the ways I was taught as a child in the 50âs, that U.S. citizens will be governed by the rule of law and not by fear. Under this rule of law there will be gross abuses and violations and these are inevitable in a system of law. To maintain order and not to ruled by fear citizens must respect the process of enforcing the law and not give into fear.

yea but there are a couple of hundred other thinking people on that plane that dont agree with you.
i fly quite often on vacation flights. i have never once been touched by a tsa guy. mostly its just take off your shoes and walk through. no big deal. most of them are actually nice people if present yourself in a normal manner. but i guess i dont know what you look like. maybe you advertise trouble.
i am flying to florida next week. i guess i will find out if things have changed.
