Comments on: Anti-Groping TSA Bill Gets Big Boost in Texas http://www.rlc.org/anti-groping-tsa-bill-gets-big-boost-in-texas/ The Conscience of the Republican Party Fri, 26 Apr 2013 21:19:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Fisher1949 http://www.rlc.org/anti-groping-tsa-bill-gets-big-boost-in-texas/comment-page-1/#comment-20596 Fisher1949 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 23:57:00 +0000 http://www.rlc.org/?p=5291#comment-20596 Why was it suddenly “necessary” to strip search and sexually assault passengers staring 10/30/10 when there had been no terrorist attacks from 9/12/01 through today? Americans have an incredible ability to be completely ignorant or reality and allow Government to strip them of their Constitutional rights so long as there is a perceived interest in “safety”.   I had flown over three hundred round trips between 9/11 and 11/1/10 with no fear of a terrorist attack since we all knew that we would have too intervene if there were an attempt. The “underwear bomber“ attempt occurred in December of 2009 yet TSA didn’t enact any changes until eleven months later. The explosive that he used, PETN, is undetectable even by the scanners, the gropings and the Explosive Trace Detection to this day. The material is like Silly Putty and can be spread over a bone protrusion such as a shoulder blade or hip-bone and none of the TSA methods will identify it.   Besides, the Al Qaeda documents recovered in the Bin Laden assassination revealed that they are targeting trains, not airplanes, so why focus on the last threat? TSA costs taxpayers over $8.2 billions per year and our taxes pay TSA an additional $10.00 over the $2.50 TSA fee on the fare every time someone goes through airport security.   TSA is nothing more than a jobs program for the otherwise unemployable. Who will protect Americans from TSA? There have been twenty-six screeners arrested in six months for job related crimes, including drug trafficking, theft, two for raping minors and one for distributing child porn. Twenty six criminal acts, twenty five security failures, over four thousand groping complaints and dozens of lawsuits, all in six months, yet TSA hasn't stopped one terrorist attack in nine years. Yet these are the people that TSA hires to fondle your children’s privates.   TSA has proven completely incompetent, posting a 70% failure rate, yet is allowed to continue to jeopardize passenger safety while inflicting countless indignities on a daily basis. Based on TSA statistics a recent article calculated that they grope 1.8 million travelers each month!   Anyone so afraid to fly that that they would consent to having their family strip-searched and their privates groped by a stranger in a public place shouldn’t fly. These people are obviously ill equipped to manage the risk that life entails and should stay home. Why was it suddenly “necessary” to
