News agency or shill for the goverment? No wonder the MSM is a dying beast. They are so out of touch with the reality common folks live in that it's not even funny. How many more of these arrogant, contemptuous, propaganda pieces must come out before people wake up?
From the comments I see here, it looks like an increasing number of people won't swallow their elitist garbage anymore.
nobody accepts the CBS poll switch-around... we mind redefining what being an American means. We know the network news is hand in glove with the government. Don't tell me it is raining while you are pi$$ing on my leg
The people waiting to run the TSA gauntlet are at a disadvantage. If they protest or say anything negative, they aren't allowed to fly. business plans, family plans, etc go by the wayside. I am not flying tomorrow, but I am picking someone up. thinking about putting up a big sign in my car and maybe carry one in also. I LOVE BEING TREATED BY A CRIMINAL BY THE TSA or something. Ideas?
Your article is written to deliberately ignore the details of the advanced "pat down" proceedures to obscure just how invasive they are, and that you cannot opt out of it without facing extensive harassment by the TSA and police, and could also be subject to an $11,000 fine. Enhansed pat down includes a palm to skin hand check inside your pants all the way around from front to back. A woman in a skirt was subjected to a hand up her skirt into her crotch. A cancer victim had to remove a breast prosthetic, and she was a flight attendant. Feeling up three year olds and putting their hands inside your pants without arresting you IS unreasonable, and a violation of the fourth amendment. Yes, we need sophisticated screening, but the underwear bomber didn't make it onto a plane because of sloppy screeners. He got on the plane even though he was on a watch list. His own, very highly placed father warned the US embassy directly well in advance. He paid cash for a one way ticket. I mean, the intelligence failures were massive. Screening everyone, including baby bottles and feeling up nuns isn't making us safer, it's just designed to force people to go through the scanners, marketed to the government by the former head of the TSA.
The other thing we could do in the name of freedom is to be able to pick your screener to do the dirty deed. Whether man or woman, gay, etc. we could each pick from several choices of sexually desirable people.

Caesar was RIGHT on target: ?Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edge sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar? ~ Julius Caesar
