Shocker! TSA's nude scans would miss taped-on bombs

Shocker! TSA's nude scans would miss taped-on bombs So if the scans miss taped-on bombs it is safe to assume that pat downs will become the more prominent search method? And what is next? Cavity searches? The question remains as to how much Americans will tolerate before they stop, or at least greatly curtail, flying?  What is a right, reasonable and above all EFFECTIVE method of search?

Sanitary Towel Prompts TSA To Grope Sexual Assault Victim

Sanitary Towel Prompts TSA To Grope Sexual Assault Victim Oh dear, I sure would like to know how prevalent this is. Ladies I would recommend not wearing diapers, panty liners, sanitary napkins or tampons through the security line. Let the TSA officials deal with the results of whatever they find when they explore your privates and panties. Won't they have fun? Ok ok I know that's tacky.  But maybe that's what it will take to make the TSA workers protest the new pat down rules.  Everyone in America needs to protests these rules.  Otherwise things are just going to get worse.

Officials feel furor of airport pat-downs - Washington Times The anger continues to grow and if it keeps growing it is inevitable, I fear, that something very bad, very violent, and very ugly will happen. I just hope I am not in the security line when it does. I really believe the TSA and the adminstration have crossed a line with the new procedures. Right now they are feeling the heat from complaints.  It's only a matter of time before the American people push back harder.  Hmmm....maybe that's what they want to see happen.

TSA checkpoints: Real-life horrors

TSA checkpoints: Real-life horrors More TSA "nuke or grope" stories. This article contains some great websites and resources where people can share stories and get educated on how to stand up to this. I have said before I am all for reasonable security measures that have been proven to work. As a former Air Force flight nurse I more than understand the need for tight security when flying. But these measures are bordering on legalized assault. I avoid flying as much as possible these days. But if I have to fly I am going for the "nuke" option. The thought of strangers having the legal authority to touch me in ways that I wouldn't allow under normal circumstances is just too much for me. Things just might get very ugly, and I want to get to my destination on time. Sad state of affairs isn't it, to have to choose between having naked pictures taken of me or getting my privates squeezed. Hmmm...maybe I will just drive from now on. Even if the government takes naked pictures of me from a satellite, at least no one is putting their hands on me. For now.

By the way the TSA in an article below says there is no checkpoint groping, that TSA officials are carrying out procedures they were trained to perform.  If that is the case then where are all these reports coming from?  And just what are they training the TSA to do??  By the way, they call it an "enhanced pat down."  Just another way of saying "I have permission to touch you whether you want me to or not," if you ask me.
