    It was a set up. He turned on his recording device and put it on the
    belt before starting trouble. His goal was to protest. And then he got nasty
    with TSA people. You want to protest? Then protest. You want to be
    a big deal on U-tube? Go somewhere else.

    Yeah, me and my wife accidently tried to enter a **** bar in Key West a few years ago.

    A big burly guy with what looked like a hand held airport metal detector in his hand approached us.

    "New security measures - I gotta wand you" he says :frown::frown:.

    "You gotta WHAT?" I said :confused::confused:

    Before I had the words out of my mouth he has the metal detector looking thing running up and down the inside of my legs, getting precariously close to my "junk" :eek::eek:

    Well by then I had a moment to look around me and figured out what was going on. Got me and my wife outta there. :cool::cool:

    "Wand me" yeah right. Glad I escaped just being wanded by the metal detector looking thing and that was it. :eek::eek:

    Negative guys - I later realized he was probably just trying to dissuade us from going in the place. There was no assault but this guy did have his hands and the metal detector thing right between my legs - not very welcome. Plus no one else was receiving the same treatment except me and my wife. Anyway, it worked cuz we left. :smile::smile:

    Ok, let me set the record straight. My post was not a **** bashing post. (I have **** friends and a **** cousin)

    It was meant to relate what I thought was a pretty funny story. Maybe I didn't tell it that well. Try again, here goes:

    The guy with the phony metal detecting wand :smile:

    "hey I gotta wand you" :biggrin:

    Me, biting hook line and sinker :smile:

    Dancing quite the jig while he waved the thing between my legs. :biggrin:

    I was not offended. In fact, I laugh about it to this day. I think he and I both may have been laughing when I left.

    But no, he clearly did not want us in the place. He walked from quite a distance to accost me and my wife while there was a generally free flow of traffic into the place. Me and my wife were singled out for the "wand" treatment.

    Again, I was not offended. I'm sorry if my original telling of the story was offensive.

    If this guy's job depended on him flying a lot, he would have been more inclined to go with the flow.

    The problem is, the false sense of security, the illusion of safety, is being used to take attention away from the fact that we spent 5 trillion raising the deficit with overseas wars pre-Obama, and spent next to nothing on defense here.

    So while I don't particularly mind being frisked, many people do. Many, given our Christian church's problem with child abuse, are victims of sexual molestation in this country. So it is a real problem for some people, for others not so much. Is there empirical evidence this deters? Didn't they try this NYC years back after 9/11 in the subway?

    There is probably the typical pre-holiday intel. rush of impending doom and this is a reaction to it. Why now, and what are they hoping to find. Non-metallic weapons or detonators I guess, but will it really work to deter, who knows? That's a State secret right?

    The guy has more "junk" than many, as he is no doubt on the no-fly list and on the FBI radar. I doubt he planned it, but he obviously did plan on making a protest against it if confronted with the situation.

    I don't seem to remember that he got particular nasty, he was seeming to make light of the whole thing actually. How else do you protest something like this btw, mass-media won't cover it unless you have it on film, then they complain your trying to gain something...CNN especially never fails to insult America's intelligence.

    Anyone read what the pilot's union has to say about the patdowns?

    Every time I go to a Falcons or Hawks game, I get the full-on "wand to junk" treatment. I think it's pretty standard practice at many places.

    Then again... it must be because I am one sexy, sexy man. And Atlanta sports fans are generally ****. Really, REALLY ****.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter.

    Just go through the scanners and nobody gets close to your junk...:rolleyes:

    In just a couple of years you won't have the option. You want to fly? You go through the scanner.

    As someone who flies quite a bit...anything that makes sure that the "innocent looking" individual sitting on my flight doesn't have some sort of "device" strapped to their crotch is well worth the inconvenience. This isn't about privacy...it's about the safety of everyone on the plane and on the ground if it were to crash. Air travel is not a right...it is a mode of transportation that has rules to participate. You CAN avoid the scans...don't fly. Take the bus, the train, drive your car, motorcycle, bicycle, take a ship, etc, etc.

    Now THAT is an idea worth developing...

    I like the idea of a disintegration chamber. Got any explosives on you...it detonates the device and then instantaneously zaps you into a pile of dust and vacuums you away. Much neater...and it keeps the line moving.

    While this is certainly no joking matter, I found this quite funny, and an effective use of humour to point out gross violations of our rights as citizens of the United States:
    Humorist Dave Barry recounts his TSA pat down ordeal

    Miami, Nov 17 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Humorist Dave Barry has taken a dig at his TSA pat down experience. He described the whole incident as ‘surreal’. He also recounted in detail the agony that he had to suffer in an interview to the National Public Radio.

    He said that one of the agents who was involved in the pat down recognized him and candidly admitted that he was a big fan of Dave, whereas the other agent was engrossed in ‘fondling Dave’s groin’. It certainly was a bittersweet moment for Dave Barry.

    There had been a spurt in the number of voices that have been raised against the TSA pat downs, as many people feel that they violate the privacy of the person.

    In the NPR interview, Dave said that he was singled out for the pat down because his body scan ‘raised alarms’. According to reports, he had a ‘blurred groin’. Dave said about the experience that, “They were letting everyone else go. Everyone else had a nice sharp groin, I guess. But when I went through they pulled me aside and put me in this kind of like little pen. And after like, I don’t know, three or four minutes of standing there I asked one of them why am I here. And he said, you have a blurred groin. And I went what? Because you hate to find this out at the airport.”

    Awesome attitude.

    The TSA has caught exactly ZERO terrorists or attempted terrorists. ZERO. They have made you exactly zero percent safer, but they have instituted a policy where your options are to get scanned with a possibly unsafe amount of radiation every time you fly (especially for frequent fliers, this is awesome. And even smart people like shack think this is a great idea.

    The 9/11 terrorists took down planes with BOX CUTTERS. Box cutters!! You know how easy it would be to slip box cutters through security EVEN TODAY? I accidentally got a full 3.5 inch pocket knife, which was entirely metal (even the non-blade) and knife shaped, through a major airport's security a month ago. A tiny razor encased in plastic? Or any other kind of impromptu weapon that would be just as effective? C'mon. None of this is going to stop that. NONE OF IT. Wake up.
