Typical how a cop backs another... I hope your firearm jams when you need it most.
No need for a 2nd
I know you flew that one time a long while ago for a family vacation, and the rest of the time you spend on the internet claiming to know the answers to life, the universe and everything......
But yeah, I do understand the laws just fine.
Better than you because of what I do for a living.
The difference is, I don't care. I simply don't care.
I could stay behind my keyboard and evangelize about things that don't affect my life like you, however I live in something called reality. And sometimes reality doesn't give two craps about the silly laws you sheepishly cling too.
Kinda like making a school zone a "gun free zone". Thank goodness they did that, that put a stop to all gun related school violence, huh? Either take all the guns away are give everyone a gun. There is no middle ground.

This sounds like a publicity stunt by the libertarian party to garner public support. Doing this gives them the ability to say, "At least we tried. which is more than the other parties have done." It'll make for some good campaign speeches.
Yeah never mind that it is 100% true, accurate, and needs to be done. At least it will make for some good speeches... Sigh!
I agree. But will anything come of it? And did they believe anything would come of it when they wrote, and sent out the letter? Probably not. But nothing wrong with hoping otherwise.

The fourth will apply to any federal organization. There are plenty of loopholes though, and too much gray area surrounding the TSA. That causes a lot of confusion among the tin foil hat crowd, who view this as an infringment to their rights (even though hardly any of them probably fly enough to worry about it0 and think there is going to be a trickle down effect that will eventually impede tier freedom. I understand their point of view, I really do. I wish we lived in different times, but I live in something called modern reality, and don't live in some idealistic imaginary wonderland where there aren't groups of people out to kill innocent Americans.

That kind of idiotic statement against another member is uncalled for. If you want to wish other members dead, please do so on another forum, there are plenty out there that will embrace your ignorant sentiments.

So basically they are wanting to arrest every single employee that, in their eyes have comitted an offence ( sexual assault).
I dont live in the US so dont really know how bad you guys seem to think these people are, but they are getting payed to do a job. If they are federal employees, that would make their bosses responsible for their actions, as they are the ones who have trained them to do the job they are doing.
Whats next, arresting every single employee who does something in their line of work that some people see as an offence?
Maybe the poor old mailman will get lynched for trespassing..... come on people, its not gonna happen.
Obviously you guys seem to have a grudge against the TSA and i dont know if its justified or not as i dont have any first hand experience of them, but at the end of the day, they are being payed to do a job and i very much doubt they are getting any kicks out of what they do.
Would you like to get up close and hands on with a big fat ugly person with serious personal hygeine problems? Thats part of their job too......

I want someone to explain to me why it's OK for me to be man handled, but a Muslim woman does not have to submit to the same thing.
Because there is a significantly greater chance that their husband/family will retaliate?
Also, you don't want angry muslims getting on the plane right?
If you dont want to go through the security checkpoint, dont fly.
Are you really comparing airport security to the mass genocide committed by the nazis?

Wusses? hahaha. You are the one apparently SOOOOOO scared of evil terrorists.
If they had an airline that had NO security, let me smoke and carry a gun onto it i would be the first in line.
People like you are so bold in your fear that you don't realize how absolutely spineless you really are. Do you actually believe the useless finger banging going on at these checkpoints is making anyone safer? Seriously?? Is that even up for debate? Get your head out of your arse.

Can you just stop whining. TSA is here to stay. Learn and follow there rules and you wont get padded down. Now , if for some reason you cannot or refuse to be xray'd then they must pad you down. Its really very simple . Follow there rules and everything will be fine..... Your complaining about privacy, are you kidding me. Man up and stop being a bitch . And that goes for all members who can't take the heat.
