Frickin' reporters....


Just because he's been vocal about he's going to get more attention and scrutiny.

Look how she tries to play it as, "Well, everyone else does it" "People fly everyday and do this, so what's the big deal?"


Un-american if you ask me....

[RonRules]

The main point, in fact the ONLY point is that Rand Paul is a friggin SENATOR. These TSA morons need to rub two brain cells together and see that he's no threat to this country.

Most telling is the reporter saying she has been allowed to go back through the scanner a second time, but they would not let Rand do it.

Same here.

Will this turn into a debate talking point, I wonder?

I didn't make that assumption at all. She simply stated that many people do it, which is true. Try not to look for bias when there really is none. It was actually a straight forward reporting of the facts and the only commentary (if you can call it that) was the observation by the anchor which alluded to the inconsistency of pat downs, which was supportive of what Paul was doing when he requested to go through again.

I hear ya...But you can tell in her tone of voice and facial expression that she doesn't care about being patted down or going through the scanner and why shouldn't everyone else too? what's the big deal?

First they came for the Senators.

[Constitutional Paulicy]

All I can say is that we should not be subjected to anyone frisking us if we haven't committed a crime. I was once frisked by a women police officer who had all the stereotypical markings of a dyke and she grabbed me by the balls and massaged them. It was some sort of power trip she was on. I was 17 years old and was asked to stop for no apparent reason and violated with no recourse. Just because someone wears a badge doesn't make them decent people. Some of these TSA people aren't even high school graduates and sent through minimal training while offered low wages..

Senators have immunity. They can't even be arrested when Congress is in session, unless it's at the direction of Congress.

Just so everyone knows, TSA is no longer limited to airports, but now train stations and subways, etc.

TSA screenings aren't just for airports anymore
December 20, 2011

The Transportation Security Administration isn't just in airports anymore. TSA teams are increasingly conducting searches and screenings at train stations, subways, ferry terminals and other mass transit locations around the country.

"We are not the Airport Security Administration," said Ray Dineen, the air marshal in charge of the TSA office in Charlotte. "We take that transportation part seriously."

The TSA's 25 "viper" teams — for Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response — have run more than 9,300 unannounced checkpoints and other search operations in the last year. Department of Homeland Security officials have asked Congress for funding to add 12 more teams next year.

According to budget documents, the department spent $110 million in fiscal 2011 for "surface transportation security," including the TSA's viper program, and is asking for an additional $24 million next year. That compares with more than $5 billion for aviation security.

TSA officials say they have no proof that the roving viper teams have foiled any terrorist plots or thwarted any major threat to public safety. But they argue that the random nature of the searches and the presence of armed officers serve as a deterrent and bolster public confidence.

Good god. What is the world coming to? I really hope we can get this behind us somehow. It's enough to make me puke.
