UPDATE: I’m getting a lot of emails asking if this is actually true and is this person actually someone I know. (1) Yes it is true — it is too absurd to be made up. (2) Yes, I know the person.

——–

A friend of mine sent me this about his TSA experience. He, unlike most of us, was coming back into the country from Afghanistan on a military charter.

——–

As the Chalk Leader for my flight home from Afghanistan, I witnessed the following:

When we were on our way back from Afghanistan, we flew out of Baghram Air Field. We went through customs at BAF, full body scanners (no groping), had all of our bags searched, the whole nine yards.

Our first stop was Shannon, Ireland to refuel. After that, we had to stop at Indianapolis, Indiana to drop off about 100 folks from the Indiana National Guard. That’s where the stupid started.

First, everyone was forced to get off the plane–even though the plane wasn’t refueling again. All 330 people got off that plane, rather than let the 100 people from the ING get off. We were filed from the plane to a holding area. No vending machines, no means of escape. Only a male/female latrine.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

Here we are all with horror storeys about the TSA, yet, why is this happening.??

We have been forced by perhaps outside of 9/11 to go to extreme practices to insure the safety of passengers and flight crews.

We all yell about the TSA but why are they there in the first place.??

We have miss directed our anger , we should be boiling angry at the people that have caused this in the first place.

What fun the Terrorists must be having watching as we turn our anger at our own government instead of them.

Fanatics have come a long way from the saber waving Muslims in the past, they are using Philological manipulation of the Americans to to gain power.

Our biggest mistake is to downgrade these people-- to think of them as living in the mind set of 2,000 years ago.  Sure 60% of their people live in poverty and ignorence---breeding grounds for cannon fodder-- then there are the 40% that are college educated to the max-- those that have studied mind control, History, sciences , Dummy's do not develop Nuclear bombs.

Interesting to see how a very real enemy is manipulating our Country as they have in England and large parts of Europe, Africa, and now South America.--- they have even infiltrated China.

Me, I would suspend the laws that protect non citizens.  Treat them by the laws of the country's they come from.  Naturally the laws of their country's are so barbaric that giving people the choice to go home or have their hand cut off will cause a bit of controversy.

Let the world know that if one comes from a foreign country that is not friendly to us, or even citizens that are sympathetic to our enemy's will be dealt with most quickly--no court of law, they must submit to our laws as we Americans must do when out of our country.

A retired special education teacher on his way to a wedding in Orlando, Fla., said he was left humiliated, crying and covered with his own urine after an enhanced pat-down by TSA officers recently at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.

“I was absolutely humiliated, I couldn’t even speak,” said Thomas D. “Tom” Sawyer, 61, of Lansing, Mich.

Sawyer is a bladder cancer survivor who now wears a urostomy bag, which collects his urine from a stoma, or opening in his stomach.  “I have to wear special clothes and in order to mount the bag I have to seal a wafer to my stomach and then attach the bag. If the seal is broken, urine can leak all over my body and clothes.”

On Nov. 7, Sawyer said he went through the security scanner at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. “Evidently the scanner picked up on my urostomy bag, because I was chosen for a pat-down procedure.”

Outrageous.

Formal complaint, my ass. I smell lawsuit, that is if our current legal system permits taking a portion of the government to court.

Any damages awarded come out of the pockets of the Head Turd in charge, John Pistole, with a healthy contribution from Janet Napolitano.

I was out of town this past weekend, all three airports had the Porno Scanners in place.  They really seemed to be randomly checking every 3 or 4 people.  I emphasize random, as everyone I saw being scanned or patted down was about as far from a terrorist profile as possible, while those a bit more fitting, waltzed on through  :thatsright:

Bah, with all of you complaining though!  There was a gorgeous TSA gal at the line I was in, I went back through three times, for more pat downs  :whistling: :naughty:

Seriously though, this is just getting out of hand.  It seems all common sense has been thrown out the window, intentionally, under the false-guise of keeping the terrorists on their toes, it's grown absurd:

TSA Demands that Soldiers Carrying Assault Rifles, Machine Guns, and Pistols... leaves nail clippers, before boarding flights.  Redstate.com
