Jokes About Miami Airport Worker's Body Scan Lead To Beating, Arrest
A Transportation Security Agency employee at Miami International Airport has been arrested for attacking a co-worker who teased him about the size of his genitals after he walked through a body scanner.

The "Theatrics, Stupidity and Apathy" (T.S.A.) is very concerned with the safety and security of the American people at airports. The "Terrorists Screenings Amok" (T.S.A.) is doing their very best to only hire the worst and the dullest of the unemployable to work as screeners. The "Thousands Standing Around" (T.S.A.) stressed how important it is to accept this kind of activity is the burden that sane and sensible people must endure for the sake of increased employment for the unemployable. The "Thousands of Stupid Answers" (T.S.A.) want every one to know that while this is supposed to be a rarity, this is the price Americans must pay to live in a totalitarian state that must monitor their every action. The "Terrorist Sympathetic Agency" (T.S.A.) ask that in the future you ignore these kinds of news reports and accept that this is government at it's best, doing what it does best.

T.S.A. - Terrorists Screenings Amok.

Daniel Rubin: Another case of TSA overkill
Did you hear about the Camden cop whose disabled son wasn't allowed to pass through airport security unless he took off his leg braces?

Did you hear the one about the T.S.A. agent who treated a passenger with dignity and respect? He was fired for dereliction of duty!

Harassed War Reporter: We Must Stand Up To TSA Thugs
A war reporter who was detained, interrogated and handcuffed at Seattle airport for refusing to answer personal questions about his income has warned that Americans need to start standing up to TSA thugs because entering the country is now a more stifling experience than some of the worst police states on the planet.

There is no need to worry about the thugs at the United States airports. That shortly will not be an aberration, but rather the norm. The federal government is looking to hire more thugs to enforce the new harsh and repressive mandatory health insurance laws, recycling laws, eating laws, energy consumption laws and weather proofing laws.

http://reason.com/blog/2009/04/02/detained-by-tsa
Detained by TSA
In town for a conference, a director of Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty is detained by TSA at the St. Louis airport because when asked to explain why he's carrying $4,700 in cash (it was proceeds from book and ticket sales at the conference), he asks the agents to tell him what law requires him to do so. He managed to surreptitiously record his conversations with TSA officers on a cell phone. The audio is infuriating.

The director of Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty should have known better. He should know by now how the government works. He should have known that it is illegal to have any wealth. He should have known that all wealth must be distributed to the millions of currently unemployed and the millions more who will shortly become unemployed. How can we have true socialism in this country if any citizen is allowed to own anything?

Entry to U.S. scares away tourism, business
Since September 11, the U.S. has seen a 17% decline in foreign visitors, and a travel advocacy group says that the reason is “a climate of fear and frustration that is turning away foreign business and leisure travelers from visiting the United States and damaging America’s image abroad.”

The last thing the United Socialist States of Amerika wants is tourists from foreign countries coming here and discovering the U.S.S.A. is more repressive than any other foreign communist dictatorship. That is why the main unwritten rule of the T.S.A. is to treat all passengers with disdain, disgust and disrespect.

http://boingboing.net/2007/12/23/tsa-is-as-unpopular.html
TSA is as unpopular as the IRS -- UPDATED
The TSA is now tied with the IRS for least popular government agency in America, according to an AP poll. They're even less popular than FEMA -- the bunglers who brought you the Hurricane Katrina disaster.

Why should the Infernal Revenue Service (I.R.S.) have all the glory. Any government organization that acts on behalf of or kindly towards citizens is not doing their job correctly. Therefore, the more hated you are, the better job you are doing. Which is why Barack Hussein Obama's approval ratings continue to plummet. Once his approval ratings have flat lined at 0%, then Barack Hussein Obama will know that the glorious workers paradise promised by Karl Marx will have arrived, and he will be the cause of it.

http://biggovernment.com/ngillespie/2010/01/08/reason-tv-were-the-tsa-and-you-can-count-on-us/
reason.tv We're The TSA And You Can Count On Us!
We’re the Transportation Security Administration. We’re working hard to make sure you enjoy a safe flight. And while we cannot apprehend every terrorist, you can count on us to do what we’re trained to do whenever there’s a security breach–overreact to tiny threats.

Overreact to tiny threats; ignore the big ones. That’s what we do, and we do it better than anyone.

I was going to write something scathing about how good the T.S.A. is at allowing real terrorist through the screening system, while harassing obviously innocent loyal American citizens. But it turns out that someone has already done it.

So all I am left with is a few questions and a conclusion.

Is this the typical level of care and concern that government employees are exhibiting towards the 99% of the passengers who are law abiding citizens of this and other countries when they are stopped at a T.S.A. screening station? Is this how the T.S.A. searches for Muslim Terrorists man-caused disasters?

Then I am very afraid to see how the incompetent government hacks who will be administering health care treat the sick and ailing law abiding citizens in this country.

Muslim Terrorists Object To Airport Scans As Immoral.

http://news.bostonherald.com/news/regional/view/20100222muslims_airport_scans_violate_faith_full-body_scans_decried_by_scholars_as_contrary_to_islam/
Muslims: Airport scans violate faith
“It is a violation of clear Islamic teachings that men or women be seen naked by other men and women,” reads the order, called a fatwa. “Islam highly emphasizes haya (modesty) and considers it part of faith. The (Koran) has commanded the believers, both men and women, to cover their private parts.”

It is politically incorrect for non-Muslims to profile Muslim terrorists based on race or religion.

The Muslim terrorist claim that it is immoral for security forces to screen them for bombs.

I think I have the solution.

Ban all non-Muslims from flying on airplanes. If we do this, then the Muslim terrorists will be less interested in blowing up airplanes, as there won't be as many infidels on board to kill.

T.S.A. Add Another Way To Waste Money And Impress Passengers But Doesn't Work To Stop Terrorists.

TSA adds swabbing of palms to arsenal at Pittsburgh airport

"It's a game we cannot win. Security that requires you to guess the tactic and the target is generally a waste of time, and every dollar spent (on new technology) is a dollar wasted," Schneier said. He said the government's focus should be investigation and intelligence-gathering.

Art Kosatka, CEO of the aviation-security consulting firm TranSecure Inc., agreed. "We should spend a lot more money on intelligence and catch (a terrorist) three weeks before he gets to the airport," he said. Regardless, he said, "you're never going to reach 100 percent secure."

Is the new hardware or screening tactics at the door of the airplane a waste of time, effort and money?

The well trained security forces (may I have your bomb please) at airports disagree. T.S.A. (Theatrics Stupidity and Apathy) disagrees. D.H.S. (Dunces of Homeland Security) disagree. F.B.I. (Fumbling Bureaucratic Idiots) disagree. C.I.A. (Comical Incompetence Agency) disagree.

However, the Muslim terrorists agree that new hardware and tactics will stop them ever again blowing up an airplane or considering any kind of terrorist attack. They also thank American Security personnel for NOT using racial profiling to look for Muslim terrorists leaving Muslim countries that support Muslim terrorists.
"We're paid to try to imagine what's next," Terrell (Joe Terrell, the Transportation Security Administration's security director at Pittsburgh International Airport) said. "We're trying to be as creative and energetic and focused as our adversaries are."

The Muslim terrorists agree with Joe Terrell. Of course the Muslim terrorists were falling down laughing as they agreed with Joe Terrell. The alphabet soup of security agencies have been spectacularly ineffective in preventing attacks. And as long as American security agencies are guided by political correctness rather than concern for the safety of Americans, the Muslim terrorists will have nothing to worry about when planning future attacks.

New Improved Airport Security. As Bad As It Ever Was.

http://wcbstv.com/local/newark.airport.security.2.1502898.html
Frustration Mounts After Latest Newark Breach
TSA: Agent Flagged Wrong Passenger For Rescreening, But Person In Question With Carry-On Was Never Found


After the underwear bomber was subdued by passengers on an airplane, many of the alphabet soup of security agencies [T.S.A. (Thousands Standing Around), F.B.I. (Fumbling Bureaucratic Idiots), ...] promised they would improve security at airports. It looks like they have improved security. Or is this proof that the changes made security worse. Anyway. Twice in the last six weeks the airport security personnel (may I have your bomb please) screwed up in a way that caused the airport to be closed down for hours and travelers delayed for days.

If this is the new, improved security, I think I know what to expect from the new improved Health Care Deform coming our way.

Flying Is Not An Option.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704398804575071370640933954.html?mod=WSJ_Books_Travel
When Security Takes Longer Than the Flight
To get through airport security in Toronto for a flight to the United States, you now have to go through eight different screening lines or ID checks. Most passengers either get a pat-down or have their carry-on bags unpacked on tables, with every toiletry kit and pajama pair carefully checked.


Are all government workers stupid, or only the officials that come up with the programs the employees must follow?

8 separate screening lines?

Too bad we don't have a capitalist free enterprise system. If we had one, then someone would be motivated to figure out a way to screen passengers that would take less time than the actual flight.

Suicide Bombers Choose American Airplanes Over All Other Countries.

Arabic-language flashcards don't fly with TSA

Since it is politically incorrect to target Muslims and Arabs as terrorists, the
Thousands Standing Around (T.S.A.) and the Fumbling Bureaucratic Idiots (F.B.I.) need some other suspect to harass. According to Barack Hussein Obama, it is always open season on white, middle class Americans. The Dunces of Homeland Security (D.H.S.) agrees with Barack Hussein Obama and suggests that American citizens are more of a threat to this country than any other source of man-caused disasters.

Therefor don't be surprised when bombers are allowed on American airplanes, and American citizens are not allowed on American airplanes.

New Improved Airline Security.

Man arrested on charges of impersonating federal agent and 'deporting' distant cousin's wife [Updated]
Police were told Denny drove the woman to the international airport in San Diego, where he flashed his fake badge to get through security.

An individual was able to get through airport security by flashing a phony badge and pushing a companion wearing handcuffs.

Is this the new improved airline security that was implemented after the underwear bomber was able to bring a bomb aboard an international flight?

Don't you feel safer now?

TSA Guards Take Their Job Seriously, By Framing Passengers For Smuggling Contraband.

http://www.philly.com/philly/news/local/20100121_Daniel_Rubin__It_was_no_joke_at_security_gate.html
It was no joke at security gate

Recently, a highly trained (may I have your bomb please) T.S.A. (Thousands Standing Around) security agent framed a passenger for smuggling contraband. He immediately laughed at her, and said it was only a joke.

Those people in Washington, District of Criminals (D.C.) have an interesting sense of humor. They report that a Muslim suicide bomber caught on board an airplane while setting off a bomb is proof that airline security works. We get boarding guards planting evidence on passengers and then laughing at them. What other security measures are they working on to insure our safety?

Don't you feel safer knowing that this is the kind of training that security agents get, to help them protect this country from Muslim suicide bombers?

Who will protect us from the security agents?

Increased Security Means Increased Breachs.

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/18/nyregion/18jfk.html
Schumer, Citing ‘Failures,’ Wants Airport Breaches Investigated

Non-terrorists continue to accidentally wander into secure areas in New York airport.

The Department of Homeland Scams (HDS), the Thousands Standing Around (TSA), Fumbling Bureaucratic Incompetents (FBI), and other alphabet soup security organizations proclaimed they were instituting additional security after the underwear bomber managed to walk on board an airline without being questioned.

If the terrorist (or any one else is watching) the New York airport, all they are seeing is increased excuses for failure to secure the area.

Is this what the government considers proof that the security is working?

T.S.A.: 8 Year Old Boy More Of A Threat To Security Than Any Adult.

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/14/nyregion/14watchlist.html?em
Meet Mikey, 8: U.S. Has Him on Watch List

I always thought that T.S.A. stood for Thousands Standing Around. I am beginning to think it also means Thousands of Stupid Answers.

How else can you explain a man who's father calls to report his son has a bomb and gets ignored. How else do you explain a terrorist who pays for an international flight with cash and has no luggage. How else do you explain a 2 year old boy getting questioned and patted down at airport security stations. I guess the T.S.A. can't tell the difference between an innocent 2 year old baby and an adult terrorist.

What do you do if you want to get off the list? You can file a complain and wait for years. With no guarantee that anything will happen. Or. You can change your name and get off the list instantly.

Of course the T.S.A. promises that things will get better real soon.

Aren't you glad the T.S.A. does NOT use racial profiling to focus on real terrorists wearing bombs, so that they can spend more time patting down and questioning 2 year old boys?

TSA Believes Harassing Journalists Is Helping Protect Citizens.

http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2009/12/tsa-withdraws-subpoenas/
TSA Withdraws Subpoenas Against Bloggers

Thousands Standing Around (TSA), one of the many incompetent organizations that is supposed to defend Americans from terrorists, seems to think that using strong arm tactics on journalists is the best way to protect American citizens.

The problem is, that if the TSA really had an effective means of protecting Americans from terrorists, it wouldn't matter if the terrorists knew about it or not.

I just wish that the TSA would expend the same effort in pursuing terrorists that they are using against American journalists.

TSA Hires Criminals To Provide Security At Airports.

http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2009/dec/tsa-clears-illegal-aliens-work-ny-airport
TSA Clears Illegal Immigrants To Work At NY Airport

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which is supposed to make public transportation safe, is doing about as well as expected of any government organization. Meaning they are complete and absolute failures.

But don't worry. These are government employees. Working for the government means never having to do any work. Working for the government means never having a job evaluation to see if you are actually capable of doing the work. Working for the government means that you can't be punished for not doing what you were paid to do.

As for security. You have none. Get over it. The government is not interested in providing anything other than larger government. If you think some minimum wage jerk cares about anything more than his weekly paycheck, then you have not been paying attention to what is going on around you.

Evidently, by hiring illegal aliens to work in secure locations, the government is showing that it believes criminals are capable of doing a better job of protecting our security than law abiding citizens.

Airport Security: Now Don't You Feel Safe?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/08/AR2009120803206.html?hpid=topnews
Secret airport screening practices revealed in manual posted online

The agency created to keep the airports safe from terrorists, evidently are unable to even keep their web site safe.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) recently posted their manual with their security procedures online. It was supposed to be redacted (information blacked out) so that too much information was not exposed. Fortunately, since this is a government organization (and as such incapable of doing anything correctly except for asking for more money) the redaction's were easily reversed. And now everyone on the planet knows how the Transportation Security Administration does their job. In exact detail.

Aren't you glad to know that the terrorists now know what to watch for when hoodwinking our airport security. After all, it would be discriminatory to prevent terrorists from knowing what they are up against!
