Backlash grows against full-body scanners in airports

[Lynxman]

Good idea I'll turn my guns in right now since guns and knives kill people! How the hell did I not know that.

Guns and knives dont kill anything you twit. Its the person that uses them. They will always have them. While flying may not be a right, owning a gun sure the hell is. You will fit in with the Thousands Standing Around idiots.

Sarcasm obviously went right over your head didnt it?

Considering how many times they have found guns, knives etc. etc. I think that does make us safer than if they didn't check at all. For you to think otherwise makes me sorry for you.

You think that wasn't happening before the TSA was formed? A little lesson in reality: If terrorists want to cause damage to a plane, they will find a way. Taking people's toothpaste away isn't going to stop them. How will body scanners stop terrorists who find ways to bypass the system? At least you'll get to look at x-rayed penis at work all day, so not all is lost.

Sir I'm guna need you to calm down and walk through the machine and I promise I'll try not to laugh too much at your size.

We should ban alcohol and drugs too since they can hurt people too. See how it goes...

Because somebody has to be here and work to pay for all the diabetes, amputations, heart disease, lung problems, knee and hip replacements, and scooter chairs (at "no cost" to them) for all the blimps waddling around Walmart in their stretched shorts, shower shoes, and wife-beater T-shirts.

Obama will take care of all of them...... uke:

With all the other idiotic statements you have made. Its hard to detect sarcasm in a written form. Next time you may want to use a smiley face or something.

Where is the line though? There has to be one. The public has tolerated the TSA's worthlessness, ineptitude, and invasion up until now... How would you like your 13 year old daughter going through with some high school dropout 55 year old perv running it?

The is just another knee jerk reaction, that will produce zero results.

Sorry but profiling is the only way to go. Sucks if you're and 18-45 year old muslim male, works out for the rest of us.

How are they going to determine one's religion? Will that information be required at the time of ticket purchase?

 

[Lynxman]

Premadonna's at their best this is a joke walk through and be done.

 

[tscarecrow]

Then why don't you move to Europe if everyone is so fat and ugly here? Better yet, move to Cuba you whiny pissant.

:blush: FATTY SPOTTED! :blush:

When I am standing in line at security I always love to count how many TSA clowns are working each line. My record so far is 14 for 2 x ray machines. Then for more fun add up the combined salaries I estimate average salary of 40,000 per year x 14 TSAers=560,000 x 2 shifts equals 1,120,000 per checkpoint per year. Those are probably conservative numbers also and people wonder why we are nearly insolvent as a country.

You can thank the 'small government, fiscally conservative' Republicans for that.

Now...I may be ill-informed, or just plain ill... , but I was under the distinct impression that the TSA bill was being charged to the airlines. If that is not the case, I stand corrected.​

However, if it is still true that the airlines are picking up the TSA tab,....my latter condition remains. In that case, the government not only chooses how many (ridiculous (cost be doomed) number) employees man those stations,...but also what their pay and benefits are, at the airlines expense.​

Profit sharing...:erm:...an overstated, outdated concept in this lackluster business.​

I think I'm getting more ill by the day...uke:​

On the brighter side, next time you're being body scanned, at least it's by a fellow airline employee...smile , after all,.. their just "fambly" ...​
