Well, today was the day

[A-V-8]

Why not just go through the scanner? It only takes about 15 seconds? I really just can't wrap my brain around why this has everyone in such a state of disarray?

Because there is something inherently un-American about having to choose between letting a total stranger see me naked or letting a High school dropout touch me on or near my genitalia just to go to work.

And genitalia is a word that I thought I would never use on Flight info.

Post this crap on every website. I haven’t been asked to enter the scanner yet but I definitely won’t. Touch my balls and charges will be pressed.

Take off your f'n shoes and go through the scanner. Done.

How about you go shave your mustache! In the mean while I'll opt out of the Cancer Radiation Treatment method. Thx.

There are battles to fight, and then there are battles not worth fighting... TSA is one not worth fighting... Their rules change faster than a wardrobe line at a fashion show. Submit to their requests and go fly... You should see how they treat our customers let alone crewmembers.

Suppose you just tell us what is worth fighting for. What is it that you stand for?

TSA has a job to do that is federally mandated and IS THE LAW. They are Federal Agents get over it.

Averaging 4 legs per day, 4 days worked per week, 4 weeks worked per month = 64 "low radiation exposures" per MONTH, which is 768 per YEAR, 7680 per DECADE, and over 23,000 exposures in a 30 year career.

Which is yet another compelling reason why you shouldn't willingly subject yourself to even more, bad enough as is!

So who is the nut job?

But don't let a good internet rumor slow ya down.

You go right ahead and keep those blinders on buddy. Hitler didnt seem like a bad guy in the beginning as well.

Crewpass might be a lot speedier if a certain well known company did not see it as a bigger profit maker than the airlines might hope for

 

[UALRATT]

I'm still waiting for someone to brief me on what the TSA actually does that enhances safety.

Ahh! AHH! Chute I forgot what I was about to say...

That's what happens between 60 and 65 years of age

Is the reason that you are not worried about someone touching your nut sack because you don't have one in the first place??????

By saying "Federal Agent" you are insinuating they are law enforcement. Do a little research. They are NOT! This has ben upheld in court. They are Federal security guards that cannot ask you about anything that does no directly relate to the safety of the flight. Nothing more... The cute little badge they wear was added because they felt the original cloth badge that was sewn on the uniform didn't produce enough respect from the general public. The TSA cannot detain you for any period of time without the police present. There is a reason for this. Don't be in such a hurry to bend over and give up your consitutional rights.

That is not true. Making comparisons between Hitler and Obama is ignorant and offensive, and has no place in this discussion.

Absolutely Right!!! People said the same thing about Pol Pot, Hussein, Stalin, Amin, Pinochet, Castro, Mao tse Tung, etc., ALL of whom promised the same things as Obama. Those statements were ignorant and offensive then too.

Yeah buddy, put down the crack pipe. Hitler comparisons have been made of every US president since Reagan.....it's nothing new. Go back to studying your chem-trail/911/Janet Reno is an alien conspiracy theories. Yes, you are no different from those idiots.

 

[RedBeard]

Would like to see an update from the OP.

 

[Raoul Duke]

So Obama stopped this guy to make him subit to a body search prior to his flight because it was suspected that he was a Nazi.

I wonder what comparisons were made in 1930's Germany. Those opinions were dismissed as ludicrous then too. Not long after that, total gun control was complete, the Reich took over health care and dictated over every business - for the good of the people of course. What constitutional rights the people had were gone. After that, you were deemed to be a danger to society if you had the wrong name, said anything contrary to the regime or were merely accused you of being contrary by ANYONE. THEN, those posing a "danger" were sent to reeducation camps - many of whom didn't come back.

Then, as now, Hitler, et al., didn't force their way into power, They were supported by masses who want Hope, Change, and Safety. Well, they got their wish, didn't they.

Come on ALPA, GROW a single ball and put a line in the sand (a date to have this fixed by or else we will not go through) for the law to be followed. In 2002 the law said the FAA and TSA will come up with a method for crewmembers. 8 years is enough. Lets put a date in the sand and it will get fixed.
