C'mon get serious. Anything not checked will be the next path used by someone who want's to blow up an airplane.

Shame the elderly mothers daughter did not care enough to think ahead. How long has there been TSA at airports now?
Sorry, but just another thread designed to stir up anger. Its not always authority that is at fault, individuals are given the laws and the protocol to abide by. It is their responsibility to comply with it. If that means getting your head out of your backside and showing some common sense then thats how it has to be. Everyone entering a plane will be subject to searches. You know that in advance. Ignoring it and then crying afterwards just doesnt cut the mustard.

Most people do not get invasive pat downs. Where do you get this information from? Most people go through just fine.

Sure they could hit train stations or malls but taking down an airliner has a far greater terror effect. I believe and you may disagree that if we ease up on our procedures that it will likely be more readily considered a viable target by anyone who want's to make a statement.

I have an ingenious idea to keep these TSA reptiles from invading your privates. You might think I'm joking, but I'm NOT. I got the idea from when I was watching an episode of Ghost Adventures one night. Zack and the team were going to lock down in this one prison camp, and the tour guide said that men who did not want to be gang raped by other men, covered themselves with feces.
No my idea is not to cover yourselved with feces before traveling, my idea is, this: there are certain 'food' items I can never eat, because they make me fart and fart and fart for hours. (Is the word fart okay?) Such as beans (any and all beans, forever) and this isidious substance called 'guar gum' which the food product manufacturers put in cheap icecream and your holiday eggnog from the grocery store. (Go ahead and check out those fine print ingredients...)
So I'm standing there (in my imagined scenario) while the TSA decides to 'finger' me, (if they can navigate through the layers of cellulite) and all I do is keep farting, cuz I ate beans and crap with guar gum in it! (Which is easy to find, trust me, that (snip) is in everything. for some reason.)
I'm serious.

There needs to be an agreed day of everyone NOT flying. A huge boycott to show the injury caused to the wallets of these airline CEOs. I do not fly, haven't, in a very long time.

IMO, if people quit flying, the airliners and their lobbyist would fight to change how TSA treats its customers.
Or you know, when they go bankrupt, the gov will just bailout them or nationalize them... Boycotting won't work.
