No way. If we have to, they have to. After all, who knows where this congressperson has been?

Does Clyburn always sound like a crackhead from the ghettos?

All animals are equal, although some are more equal than others.


A top House Democrat said the attack on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) should change how members of Congress are screened at airports.

“I really believe that that is the place where we feel the most ill at ease, is going through airports,” Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.), who serves as assistant minority leader in the House, said on “Fox News Sunday.”

Clyburn called for the Transportation Security Administration, which administers airport security checkpoints, to interact “a little better” with the Capitol Hill Police.

“We’ve had some incidents where TSA authorities think that congresspeople should be treated like everybody else,” he said. “Well, the fact of the matter is, we are held to a higher standard in so many other areas, and I think we need to take a hard look at exactly how the TSA interact with members of Congress.”

People in government should have to be as equal as the tax cattle..... So I should be able to tax them and throw them in jail for breaking their own damn rules :) Oh wait... i'm just a serf nevermind... you can't watch the watchers! :O)

Made me want to puke when he said that they should be treated differently by TSA. They all think they are the rulers and not our servants - you get elected to serve you jerk not for us to serve you..
