11/14/10. Refused security = $10,000 fine

Who cares if he had it planned, in fact it is a good thing. The more this is in the news and the more the TSA is questioned about it the more they are likely to cave. Look at the guy that "intentionally" video'd the interview at ACORN. He did what no one had been able to do previously - shut them down. The more that the TSA is made to feel that they have stepped over a line the more likely they are to drop this goofiness.

You don't get to throw an untruth out there and get away with it. You, along with the conservative media, need a history lesson. The ACORN video was edited where, at the end, the ACORN rep says "I'm just playing along with you guys; you're kidding, right"? Then, when the actors left, the ACORN rep called the police to tip them off about a possible illegal operation and an illegal immigration.

So a community group, established to help less privileged folks, was ******************** down and smeared by a lie, and by people like you who get their "news" from FOX, and don't bother to follow up with the real story.

Don't compare ACORN to TSA. TSA isn't helping any of us.

The TSA's ridiculous, intrusive screening policies that do absolutely nothing to increase airline safety are providing increasingly more job security to corporate, charter & fractional pilots with this nonsense.

They're also the absolute best sales tool for people interested in learning to fly or buying their own GA airplane...

Yep. It sucks because I have to go through it going to work but it is job security...

But I'll be the first to applaud when they pull the plug on this stupidity.

Give me a break, you are defending an entity that has plead guilty to Voter Fraud (Nevada - felony conviction) and is facing additional prosecutions for the same crime. Those crimes have nothing to do with the Videos but the videos brought to light the criminal nature of the organization. Keep living the dream that it existed to "help the little guy" - the truth is much different than your constructed reality.

Alright.. this is getting political and about here... what started out to be aviation related... lets get this thread back on the aviation side.. otherwise we can move it to non- av section.. lets not go into politics..

Mod.. clr4

Then you should probably move the thread because the nature of the issue, ie: violation of American citizens rights, failure of government "leaders" to effectively defend this country, etc. is inherently political.

 

[clr4theapch]

ok... I think it is an important topic, but it applies to all of aviation.. I'll move it to general aviation topics..

but please lets not degrade this to a non-aviation thread.. keep it on topic..

Read the first posting. The article has a link to his Youtube videos.

Fair enough, everyone should be making as big a deal about this as possible to put the TSA in check. The fact that Napolitano had to do a press conference today is proof of the pressure they are feeling. Also, did anyone else catch her downplaying the complaints from APA and USAPA - she essentially said "pilots are only concerned because of the health issues." What a load of carp.

 

[COOPERVANE]

Here is a good one. Muslim women wearing a burka or hijab are being told they are EXEMPT from AIT SCANNERS and TSA pat downs. Against their religion. No way to get my blood to boil more.

Un...freakin.... believable!!

A sure way to change or get rid of the TSA will come when the public stop flying and start driving or taking other modes of transportation..

worse, businesses drastically increase the "go to meeting" type of electronic tools to do business that would have been done in person..

This might just provide a boost for us 135 guys!
