I'm still trying to figure what is humiliating about the process at airports? I mean have you people never been to a club....errr...a real club not the backyard, backwood, byob, places some people attend. At a club you are thorougly searched before you enter. Have none of you been to a professional sporting event, again you are searched.
Tis the reason I say most of the people are just complaining because you hear others doing so.
You people want to fight but don't even know who and when to fight. You're like the little cartoon characters who get slapped on the back of the neck and you just start swinging at anyone near.

Also, I have recently heard (meaning I cannot 100% say it is absolutely true) that TSA agents are to go directly to and from work while in uniform. They are not to be walking around, visiting, shopping, eating at cafes and such while in uniform. Why? I think after the level of hate in this thread we can see why.

Here we go... it was only a matter of time before someone brought race into it. This has absolutely nothing in common with the way blacks were once treated. Blacks were treated that way because they were black, which is just a deplorable and ridiculous idea. To treat anyone different because of the color of their skin is the epitome of ignorance and hate and is never justified. Besides, I doubt that the blacks back then were grabbing the breasts and genitalia of innocent Americans as said Americans were minding their own business while attempting to travel in what is supposed to be a free country. The TSA agents on the other hand are guilty of the aforementioned offenses, regardless of where their orders come from. Any decent, morally inclined person would not agree to those orders and would refuse to carry out the sexual assault of innocent people in an airport. Because the agents continue to come to work everyday makes them complicit and an accomplice to the crimes being committed. If I owned a restaurant I wouldn't let them in either, or maybe I would but I would piss in their food and smile as I watched them eat it.

Oh boo hoo
Where are the Ghandis?????? I guess the British soldiers who shot up Indians were just doing their jobs too and had that job before they were sent to India. After all, even the soldiers had to feed and clothe their families. It was all the govts job for sending them there in the first place right? People outraged and now we hear of a restaurant and you are whining that they are doing something about it with Ghandi style civil disobedience.

...yeah you could say these TSA agents 'deserve' to be treated like this because they are infringing on peoples right to privacy. But do you think these employees 'enjoy' feeling up disgusting people all day? ........um doubtful
And do you think treating them like dogs is gunna solve the problem?
Um no...is it just adding fuel to the fire? UM Yes!
The problem here is not with the TSA employees, it's with the government. And remember most of the TSA agents were employed BEFORE they changed the search procedures.
Sure they could quit their jobs, but would you?
*EDIT*
btw i want to make it clear that I am in no way supporting the actions of the TSA. These new search procedures are a huge violation of our rights. But I don't think the actions of this restaurant are appropriate either.

They can still eat. They can pack a lunch or eat at another restaurant.
It's not rocket science.

I would allow the the freaks to enter, but only after i informed them of their rights. AS"we" as a business have had a terrorist threat and that i must grope them( i mean frisk them), and i have the right to give them an internal Probing (examination) if they wish to enter my establishment, And only if they are willing to comply would i allow any TSA in. PS I would have heaps of gloves, So I would probe away No lube, No smile, just Business

People are in here harping about freedom and don't even realize true freedom is impossible as long as you live in a society. If you decide to go live in a cave or log cabin...yeah you can have freedom. But as long as you decide to be a part of society you do not have "freedom".

The point is we still have such freedom... a place where one can wear the crown... and still walk around town armed to the teeth. They will be hard pressed to take that away, even though getting on a plane with swords has become more difficult
Just try and take that from us... we might put up some resistance.
Of course 'freedom' has a price. Every rational person knows that... but what we are talking about here is when the goons cross the line and stick their hands down your pants... and the government puts you on a no fly list because you have a friend in Iran... THAT is when you have lost any true freedom
What you are describing is social interaction... and that is part of being in a society... but it is by choice. And I just turned off the gas... put a wood stove in for heat instead.... This summer will come the solar panels
Your last paragraph about sums it up. By choice we have all accepted the terms of this society. If we don't appreciate how society is, we can detach ourselves from it and go live in that cabin. As long as we decide to be in the game (society) we have to play by the rules.
Have you ever searched anyone? Did it turn you on? The point is we lost true freedom when we decided to live with others in a society.
