He had committed--would have committed, even if he had never set pen to paper--the essential crime that contained all others in itself. Thoughtcrime, they called it. Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you."

Well, if That doesn't work, the TSA will just keep trying to come up with new ideas to keep us from flying.

My theory is that the TSA is an effective oil-demand-destruction device instituted by the Feds.

No doubt it'll soon be broadened to include similar checkpoints at highway tollbooths.

Interesting story, It makes you decide quickly what countries not to visit...
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')t JFK Airport, Denying Basic Rights Is Just Another Day at the Office

I was recently stopped by Homeland Security as I was returning from a trip to Syria. What I saw in the hours that followed shocked and disturbed me. By Emily Feder
21/08/08 "AlterNet" -- - I arrived at JFK Airport two weeks ago after a short vacation to Syria and presented my American passport for re-entry to the United States. After 28 hours of traveling, I had settled into a hazy awareness that this was the last, most familiar leg of a long journey. I exchanged friendly words with the Homeland Security official who was recording my name in his computer. He scrolled through my passport, and when his thumb rested on my Syrian visa, he paused. Jerking toward the door of his glass-enclosed booth, he slid my passport into a dingy green plastic folder and walked down the hallway, motioning for me to follow with a flick of his wrist. Where was he taking me, I asked him. "You'll find out," he said.

While taxpayers cut back on their spending in the deepening depression, TSA upgrades their trick-or-treat-through-your-laptop costumes to policeman blue.

TSA damages the airlines private property, then turns around and threatens to fine the airline when they insist upon their diligence. Fortunately, the airlines discovered the damage caused by the TSA and averted potential danger to their customers.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he airline said in a statement it is "confident that it followed all proper security procedures for securing aircraft overnight," and that if they'd gone un-noticed the actions of the inspector "could have jeopardized the safety of our customers and crew."

Be wary of the "exalted ones," for they will test you. As you have seen, they can do no wrong. If some tragedy comes out of your failing these tests, it will be but a sacrifice on your alter.

[Kingcoal]

Yes, lovely uniforms. Nice to see that they are keeping up with style.

Any person or system that claims to help America when it tears it down I call traitorous.

Down with traitors to America!

When the democrats in Congress passed the bills authorizing and paying for the new uniforms and badges for TSA, did the democrats specify they would only be used at the Republican convention?

[smallpoxgirl]

Not brown?

[Plantagenet]

That was national socialism.

This is just plain old socialism.

[IgnoranceIsBliss]

Maybe they should also borrow a play from the private sector and change consider a name change to overcome their image problems.

Time Warner = BriteHouse

Anderson Consulting = Accenture

Air Tran = ValueJet

TSA = ??? [They should hire one of those fancy naming companies to figure this one out]

Congress authorizes the funding for TSA, but the administrator, Kip Hawley decided that new uniforms were the ticket.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'P')resident Bush nominated Kip Hawley to be Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration on May 6, 2005 and he was sworn in on July 27, 2005.
