Disregard those racist uncles, rancid pot roasts and screaming children a’plenty.The holidays are a time for pushing pessimism aside and embracing family, faith and tradition.

read this. pass it on
getting mad? get real. go Ron Paul 2012!
don't let them run us anymore
They continue to allow theirscreeners to sexually assault passengers who opt out as a punitive measureemployed to force people into the untested scanners. They rely on the excusesof using “unpredictable” procedures and “sensitive security information” toconceal the rampant misconduct and mismanagement within the agency.
TSA is nothing more than a jobsprogram for the chronically unemployed posing as airline security. After sixtybillion dollars over eight years they can't cite one success. They fail 70% ofsecurity tests and 60% of the freight in the cargo-hold remains unchecked. Theyconfiscate 2” penknives that their website says are allowed while four of theirscreeners were caught smuggling drugs through security.
Add to that the 62 TSA screenersarrested this year for serious crimes, including rape and murder. Of these,eleven have been for sex crimes involving children. TSA can’t prevent crimewithin their own ranks, but we’re supposed to trust this agency with airportsecurity.
This agency is a completefailure and the lack of responsible management explains why so many abusescontinue to occur. Pistole and the senior staff of TSA have failed miserably inoperating this agency and should be prosecuted for malfeasance. TSA is far toobroken to be reform and must be replaced with something that actually works.

Cause I ain't trying to smuggle stuff thru the airport.
Esp with the way foreigners are promoting Ron Paul
I guess 1 percent might be more irritated to fly than anything so.
Another misrepresented post.
If you see a suspicious act please notify the proper authorities, unless the proper authorities are the ones performing the act. U.S Authorities want you to point fingers, but once those fingers are pointed back at them then your a terrorist. We need to stop the self policing.
Tis the season to grab your jolly, la la la la la la la la la, tis the greeting to be frightening, la la la la la la la la la, we are fascist we love you, LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA, we are here just for you, LA LA LA LA LA la la la la.
Obama wants all to know that he loves you, so obey or die!
National Defense Authorization Act FY2012, ounce sign by Dictator Obama will put Americans into some place Obama deems necessary in order that he won't have to deal with convincing those stubborn Americans who know too much and want their Country back, by removing him with the Twenty Fifth Amendment, Section Four, of the United States Constitution.
That is where he is taking America right now, and we who are fighting against a fascist, Nazi Police State, know this has to be done if we all wish to stop World War Three, which will lead in a Thermonuclear end of man as we know it.

If anyone thinks that was "too bold," I say, not bold enough.

Only liberals are affraid of death
Like the Mideast we are Extreme Fascists.
Death to Libtards.
The TSA does not provide any additional protection against a terrorist attack. It is there to tell people that the government cares. The more the TSA pushes back on people the less people will fly. When people drive instead of flying, then the number of highway deaths goes up. The TSA is killing more people each year than terrorists kill each year. It costs the US $60 billion in direct costs and easily $85 billion in lost tourism business. Foreigners do not want to come to the US because of the TSA, the TSA has to go. If elected, the TSA will be gone within six months and replaced by private security services capable of identifying potential problems instead of goons with badges that are incapable of finding a determined killer.
American arent affraid of the The Sexual Assault
They refuse to fly because they want to see freedom return to America and an end of the most anti freedom anti American president ever
Americans dont have time for holidays,thier get only 2 weeks off a year,Long way to go to catch up to Europe ,intellectually and socially.And improvement for its workers.Holidays ,medical,and time off.After all Europe is 2000 years old ,America is only 200 years old and still backward.
@Bryan Barajas - Hate to burst your little bubble, but the NDAA provision everyone is up in arms about, was implemented by Bush. (please actually look up your facts) This is something that has been on the books for multiple years. This NDAA just solidified the president's power over it. Nothing more. Was kind of an open end of who had the power over it before this NDAA. So back to topic - as for the TSA, yes, they really need to clean house massively. Start an academy like the police and actually train people for the airport security. Don't just pay an off the street person minimum wage and then expect them to handle that type of responsibility. You see currently what that gets ya. And what a concept that would create jobs on top of everything with the teachers/etc needed for that. Be a win-win, get jobs, get better trained security, get happier fliers, get more fliers, airlines gets more money, etc.
Americans aren't afraid of flying because of TSA. They are afraid to fly because of Muslims with bombs in their underwear.

This is just what religious nuts do.
Sorry Mideast you have a long bad track record
I'd like to give a Nerf Bomb to the TSA for a Christmas Present.

Those pesky underwear bombers that don't have a passport and have nicely dressed US government agents demanding they be let on to the plane.
It's so repulsive to see Americans in the so-called "land of the free" being waved into these scanners with their hands above their heads like prisoners, by some fat scowling TSA slob. This is pathetic. My family and I are among those who refuse to fly, precisely because of the TSA.

Well Jeff, you can thank the Muslims for having to deal with this. If they would stop hijacking planes and/or bombing them we wouldn't need to search everyone.
The biggest problem is that Americans are too nice and feel that we have to be sensitive and not profile Middle Easterners like we should.
I'm hoping the hatred of the TSA helps to bring back railroad passenger service. Beside the TSA, airlines are not an efficient and economical way to travel. The trains of yesteryear were comfortable, you saw a lot of the countryside in passing, and for most travelers they were fast enough. I simply can't afford the cost of airfare anyway, and now that I am retired, I have plenty of time to take a train. Take the A-train......
The same goes for overseas travel. I think I'll check into passenger service on commercial freighters. Few people know that you can book passage on commercial freighters if they have extra crew quarters for hire. You might even travel really cheap if you volunteer for galley work or can help with any of the other crew functions, such as cleaning and maintenance. You can always take a stack of good books to read. I was in the navy, and time spent at sea between ports went fast as long as you stayed busy.
Flying has gotten to be way overrated for what is costs you. 80% of people could take a slower and more efficient travel method.
There is much made of the FACT that TSA has NEVER caught a Terrorist. Well that is true, but, TSA Human Resources has FOUND a whole lot of TERRORISTS. As a matter of FACT, TSA Human Resources only HIRES Terrorists. The best "anti-terrorist" move the USA could make, would be to ARREST everyone tha TSA Human Resources hires because THAT IS ALL THEY HIRE, Terrorists. Rapists, thieves, muggers, pedophiles, drug smugglers. -----------------
"Integrity, Team Spirit, Innovation" is sewn around the border of the newest TSA patch. Have you ever seen an organization that had to SEW A REMINDER not to STEAL, LIE, and CHEAT on their own shoulders!!!! They STEAL from the "confiscated" items, BACK-STAB the PASSENGERS and their CO-Workers and "INNOVATIVELY" CHEAT on their own tests.
Supervisors PADDING their hours to make house payments.
Supervisors staggering in drunk.
Supervisors yelling all NON-Christians should leave the country
Supervisors expressing their desire to see certain U.S. Senators DEAD







Let's turn the tables on the TSA screeners: Track down as much information as possible and post it online. Maybe even a website called TSAScreenersPersonalInformation.com. Something like it anyway.
Names and addresses of your local screener will be freely available.
Any hackers skilled at this type of stuff Anonymous is doing?
Once this idea catches on there will be no stopping it. The TSA screener position would soon enough be vacant.
