Would you support ending the airport pat downs?
   
I would. They have demonstrated the only thing they accomplish is sucking money out of our treasury and out of every person who flies.

They have proved to be as useful as snowsuits in Fiji.

Wow, I hope he didn't hurt himself coming up with that topic.  Of all the things to get bent out of shape over. :whatever:

These people must have nothing in their lives if this is the piddle they come up with to be offended about.

You're right--a standard pat-down wouldn't have discovered Crotchbomber's PETN.

But a full body scanner or puffer (like I go through every day coming into work) would have.  I'm so glad that you DUmmies are on board with improving airport security!

Now if we can just get them to agree with us on the profiling!

I would in a heartbeat stinky as long as anyone traveling from a place or looking like they think a towel is better used for a hat then after a shower gets a lot of scrutiny.

Will be completely fair about it...when 30 years of history have shown that wearing a nuns habit or carrying a Bible is associated with suicide bombings then they can be included too.

They search the web for stuff to get enraged about. Stinky is constipated. :lmao:

11. Crowd scanning. Profiling. Preflight intelligence. A Frequent Flyer registry ....... and similar ideas.

I'm no security expert, but these pat down/peeping tom lines do nothing at all. In fact, they may be worse than nothing.

Profiling... good for TSA, bad for cops.  I'm waiting for one of the other DUmmies to tell Stinky he sounds like a Republican.

Crotchbbomber?  :lmao:

On a more serious note, I fear it's only a matter of time before one of these Islamofascists succeed in another 9-11 scale attack.

If they start using the full-body PORN scanners, then the pat downs would seem kind of pointless won't they?

I wouldn't touch anyone using the name Stinky period.

Yeah . . . "Stinky period" would have some pretty negative, er, connotations.  :tongue:

Actually, I'd like to "touch" Stinky with a green laser, mounted on the Picatinny rail of a Ruger SR-556 . . .

The "puffers" aren't such a bad idea really. I went through one going into the CN tower and it was quick and non invasive.

Frisking, you kidding me? Frisking?  I can see the line at the security checkpoint at O'Hare now.  Stretches all the way to Navy Pier.  Now, all the rag heads have to do is get in line for security screening with a vest on and set it off half way thru.  That will take out hundreds if not more, shut down every airport in the country and really spread terror.  Why worry about retail terrorism on an airplane,  they can go wholesale now.  When do the security check points go up at the entrance of the airport?
