Speaks to the lack of training by these so-called "federal employees"

Wonder what GS salary grade they are? I sure hope it's single-digits...

I had a pat-down a few months ago because I didn't have my ID with me, and it didn't bother me. I intend to ask for one from now on, instead of going through those bullshit backscatter machines that cost $200K of my money and bombard me with radiation.

This whole thing is a front cover to continue the perception that we need a "war on terror" just like we need a "war on drugs". Nothing more than a money transfer scheme.

Those sorry ass TSA screeners overall cost way more than $200k. And I don't believe the radiation exposure is really that high on a full body scanner. The images come back as just your body (not your bones) which means the waves are bouncing off your skin. They're just powreful enough to go through your clothing.

But what about skin cancer? And what if you're a frequent flyer? Shit adds up.

I'm so glad I'm not flying anytime soon. Cause none of this is going to happen with me. I have basic rights and they will NOT be violated by TSA. F them!

I really need to call my buddy who works for TSA, we need to have a talk.

Civil War. Something that will never happen these days, yet the only thing that could help. You cant give your opinion with your vote, because both parties are the same.

But once upon a time, the government lived in fear of revolt, and therefore was more inclined to work for the good and the liberties of the people.

Now they live with the knowledge that they really do control the country, and theres nothing the middle/lower class can do about it. And they have it their way, for the good of them and their friends, always.
