Even if Ron Paul or Jesse Ventura got elected to President, which will never happen, the top 100 corporations' money will absolutely dominate the country's policies & procedures, like it has been doing for 100+ yrs. Don't vote, it only encourages them.
So, according to you, once you buy a service you consent your Constitutional rights away? Everything is permissible once you willingly sign-up for or buy a service or a product?

By buying his ticket, and using the services of the airline, Governor Ventura voluntarily agreed to the terms and conditions of both the airline and the airport, which includes both TSA full body scans and pat downs.

I just don't get this at all. I've got a titanium rod in my leg from where I snapped my shin in two. Yeah, if I go to an airport I expect to have to go through a big 'make me naked' x-ray machine or, if I didn't want to do that, then I'd get a Pat-Down. BIG FREAKIN' DEAL!!! I'm TOTALLY happy to do either one, ya know why? Because I might not have a Titanium rod...I might have a bomb! Or a gun. Or, a freakin' Samuri Sword (although I'd hate to think where I would have to hide it!) My point is....people need to STOP BEING HUGE BABIES. Yeah...if Jesse Ventura sets off the metal detector I don't want someone saying "oh, he's ok...its just Jesse Ventura...he's a Celebrity, he won't hurt us". Thats total BS. Jesse mentions he's served our country. Big Deal. So have a hell of a lot of other people, who have then gone on to go completely nuts! I'm not saying a man doesn't deserve respect because of what they have done for the country, but I am saying that they should not get passed over for security checks because someone makes an assumption. Wasn't it a "Sharp dressed" and obviously important individual who aided Northwest flight "Christmas Bomber" Umar Mutallab onto a plane, bypassing the regular rig-a-ma-roll? And yet Jesse Ventura thinks he deserves special treatment?!?! Shame on him! And shame on anyone who can't understand that there IS some circumstances where added security is a GOOD thing. Of all of the horrible things going on in America, THIS is the thing that Jesse thinks is serious enough for a lawsuit?!?! I just lost major respect for the man.

I disagree - the solution to this problem has already been posted by TheBorg - use dogs - they are cheap and effective and no one's rights are violated.

Ventura for POTUS 2012
We the "revolution" could raise for him 100 million dollars overnight!
Run as an independant Jesse and call it a quiet revolution, and you'd WIN against Obama.
