    TSA need to be dissolved, As I said before, the people doing that job look like they are on a prison work release program.

    Its kinda difficult to see just how hard he hit the guy from that angle, but a congressman doesn't need to make sh*t up to sue & get money (or at least you wouldn't think so)

    So I tend to believe him.

      It isn't even really how HARD you are hit, but how FAST! When they have done this with ME, they work from the bottom of the leg UP. And they are generally careful around that area. Still, a couple of times, I DID feel they moved too fast. And YEAH, it was more than mere belief.

        Yea, especially since he's probably a stinking, dirty, low down, party first, austerity loving, obstructionist.


        Good for him!!

    "Let him have a taste of his own medicine for the laws and agencies that they put in place."

    Only if you know he voted yes on those laws.Maybe he was against them. I don't know and not going to look up his voting record...I'm just saying.......

    Too many reports of TSA fondling and inappropriately touching literally hundreds of people for me to believe that,plus they obviously singled him out a week later.

    And he didn't say he was whacked in the nuts,the guy that posted the video titled it that.
    He said he was inappropriately touched and I personally think he was.
    At least that is how it looked to me old eyes.
    The guy that posted the video wanted a "sensational" title,so he made one up.

        Joseph, For the most part I agree with you though,I think everyone that voted yes should have to go through that process,bet if they did the law would get changed very quickly

    Well the only time I've been on a jet, or any airplane for that matter, is just a tour. It never left the ground.

    And this was years ago.. back when I was like 8 years old. So obviously they didn't have this TSA BS that they have these days.

    I can't say what did/didn't happen, the video just doesn't show enough to make an assumption without having been thru it myself.

    But I still tend to believe the guy.

        The thing is, does any one think these people like doing this to others? It's their job. I personally would rather them do it fast and get it over with. I suppose others would like them to linger in certain areas. :/ So, this guy complains and just prolongs the experience.

          I'd bet most of them hate their jobs, but there's a few who get their rocks off doing it...Just like how most people hate the TSA, but seasoned goes through the line 2-3 times before being told to stop.

            Mixed reaction - "No way" to "atta boy" - but have to say it looked to me the agent's hand was to the left of Conseco's body.

            My final decision - I think we've finally found a good use for TSA agents! I can't think of any sector of the populace more needful of a good goosing than Congress.

            Does that represent some kind of desire, or transference on your part? Maybe YOU are the one that wants it done! I STARTED this thread, and others like it. I HATE this! I get patted down ONLY because I do NOT trust the scanners!

              A couple of problems with your "theory"...

              One...I've never been through a TSA "frisk". I don't fly.

              Two...You're the one always posting about your experiences IN DETAIL with TSA...

              Three...As far as "transference", you're the one that posted a video about TSA and testicles. I detect a little jealousy.

          OK, tell them you WANT them to go AFAP!!!!!! I GUARANTEE you will HATE it!

          NOBODY said they like doing this to people, but they are FORBIDDEN to do it fast! FORBIDDEN!!!!!!!!!!! I have told them YEAH I know you will be patting me down, front and back, and NO I DON'T want a private room, etc.... And they INSIST that they must go through their ENTIRE spiel, which is almost as long as the act.

    Does anyone realize the educational requirements to become a Transportation Security Officer? Little more than a high school diploma or equivalent GED will qualify you - this really adds insult to injury. Oh yeah, make sure your taxes and child support payments are paid. This is beyond laughable. :rolleyes:

    It's the same hiring a security officer for a festival or the like. The ones that are just not smart enough to give a gun to are the ones that cry because they aren't allowed to carry one.

    Just doing their job is problem enough - - Americans should not be accepting jobs that abuse the rights of the people. I don't care what the pay or who needs a job - if people refused to do this disgusting job, we wouldn't have to deal with it. People used to have principles -- since it is anything for a buck now - don't count on ever being safe from anything again.

      There is a SCAM that says people won't, or can't, do work like I do! You know what they do? GIVE FOREIGNERS VISAS!

      It is STUPID, but they do it! They actually give people VISAS to foreigners to help with things like making sure foreigners don't get state secrets, etc.....

  • According to some sources I read in a story the other day...(like the ambiguity?), they have never caught or stopped a terrorist yet since they started - they will release no documentation to establish anything for "national security" reasons, but so far, all they have stopped is drugs, a few weapons, and other contraband - no one has been specifically linked to any terrorist plot. I on one hand, found that hard to believe - while at the same time, hoped it were true...

      Yeah, there have been SEVERAL terrorists that made it PAST the TSA!!!!!!! We know that because PASSENGERS caught them in failed attempts! The SHOE and underwear bomber come to mind! The TSA changed rules, but still has a record of catching NOBODY!

      One theory is that their presence and activities keep the terrorists away. Like State Trooper's cars parked along the Interstate help reduce speeding, even if there is nobody in the car!

        Well, there see to be a lot of attempts ANYWAY!

        We're lucky that the terrorists have a harder time because the old 1970s ideas are proven invalid, and they are not that bright. PASSENGERS have taken down several.
