Irrational? Yes, that is ignorant. Tell me, have you registered as much anger at the Republican attempts to repeal Health Care? Perhaps you should also confront Medicare, a government program which has made life livable for hundreds of thousands of Americans.

He does not care about passenger safety. If this brat flew in foreign airports he would not show-off like he did. He knows his bad behavior would not be tolerated there.

The TSA's new procedures are way too invasive. It doesn't matter if the body scanner only takes 10 seconds. It matters that the government is claiming a right to see its citizens naked or grop them inappropriately. However, I'm afraid the best way to speak out is to write to your elected officials requesting a change to a more reasonable and dignified policy.

If my son acted this way, I would have pulled him to the side and had a father-son talk to reprimand him. Acting this way is not acceptable! You have to go through the scanner if you are selected, so why not just do it and not make a bigger deal than necessary? I was selected in Vegas and it was in and out within 10 seconds!

Yea, if only there was a group of young men and women that were brave enough to stand up for whats right. A group that was sworn to defend the Constitution of the United States by any means necessary and putting the well being of others in front of their own, some kind of Army or something....Man that'd be so cool.

Sounds like you'd have ended up as ashes in Nazi Germany... being so "obedient" to irrational authorities.

I won't. I've canceled two trips I'd planned this year, until they stop molesting citizens without just cause. Random searches are completely unconstitutional.

Way to go Aaron Tobey! Many of us stand by and watch when to do so is irresponsible and even betrayal of sacred trust. To the few who didn't have to read The Hangman by Maurice Ogden in school, here are the closing lines:

"You tricked me Hangman." I shouted then,
"That your scaffold was built for other men,
and I'm no henchman of yours." I cried.
"You lied to me Hangman, foully lied."

Then a twinkle grew in his buckshot eye,
"Lied to you...tricked you?" He said "Not I...
for I answered straight and told you true.
The scaffold was raised for none but you."

"For who has served more faithfully?
With your coward's hope." said He,
"And where are the others that might have stood
side by your side, in the common good?"

"Dead!" I answered, and amiably
"Murdered," the Hangman corrected me.
"First the alien ... then the Jew.
I did no more than you let me do."

Beneath the beam that blocked the sky
none before stood so alone as I.
The Hangman then strapped me...with no voice there
to cry "Stay!" ... for me in the empty square.

More of us should join Aaron Tobey is we would not be the henchman's accomplice.
