Ron Paul takes on the TSA
Ron Paul's legislation, H.R. 6416, is just two sentences long, stating: No law of the United States shall be construed to confer any ...immunity for a federal employee or agency or any individual or entity that receives federal funds, who subjects an individual to any physical contact (including contact with any clothing the individual is wearing), X-rays, or millimeter waves, or aids in the creation of or views a representation of any part of a individual's body covered by… (www.youtube.com) और अधिक...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Come on government, get over this profiling thing. It is very effective at pinpointing the bad guys. The Israelis use it all the time.
When will the idiots wake up and remember this is (was) America and we weren't willing to give up our liberties because we are afraid. Let the scaredycats let the TSA grope their wives. The difference is any physician asking you to disrobe is necessary for them to do the job. If you refuse they will still do their best to help you. They don't deny you what you came to do. Asking everyone to have proof (ie as passport, how is this proof you aren't a whackadoo?, but I digresss) that they are innocent is completely unAmerican also. Next you must prove you won't speed before being allowed on the road. Try that out. Let's all become Nazi's or Communists because we are told to be afraid. Great
The Rep's comments are SUPER .. FINALLY .. some one in WASHINGINGTON on film, looking out for the little guy !!
We already have the technology that makes air travel safe and non-intrusive. We have the puffer machines. Why are they not being used? I've gone through them in Miami. They actually detect bomd material and explosives unlike the TSA's pornoscanner. Use the puffer machines and there is no reason to humiliate travels. That's unless you think a breast cancer survivor should have to remove her artificial breast and show it to TSA as happened at Charlotte International.
Yes, when we choose to fly by air we should expect to be screened, but not to be degraded as this new policy does. And yes, if someone does get through the TSA should be blamed, they are after all supposedly trained to stop them. The TSA does not make me feel flying is any safer now than before 9/11. I'm not sure what the solution is and I can't even begin to offer one but I really feel this is not it.
The facts are you have a great chance of being killed in a car wreck, or being murdered on the street, than you do being involved in a terrorist act on an aircraft.
Let the fear go people. Stand up for your constitutional rights and liberties.
