Who would even do this for a job

[Duke41]

It is out of control. I am sick of the constant attacks on my basic human rights. Do I really need a guy grabbing my #^&#^&#^&#^& to make sure the flight is safe. ...really. Or going thru my bags and deassembling my CPAP machine and testing it and swabing it. Or having to take my shoes off or get fricking xrayed. Or asked security questions. Where am i going. No of your #^&#^&#^&#^&ing business #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&.

I mean REALLYW T F

How about the woman that was forced to pump breast milk at a sink in the airport bathroom because the TSA agent wanted her to prove it was real?
TSA forces woman to pump breast milk into bottles before boarding

And for all of those that yell "take a bus if you don't like it", exactly what other options does a mother in Hawaii have?

I was once at a stag party sitting in the front row for the show and got squirted. Wasn't looking and at first thought it was someone throwing some beer at me. I nearly pucked.

When's enough an enough!Its molestation!Its criminal!.......blah,blah,blah.

How inconvenient your nuts got touched so that planes don't fly into buildings and bombs don't blow up the plane.Cry me a #^&#^&#^&#^&ing river.

After the events of the last month I would think anybody flying would appreciate the security but I guess not.The next attack WILL come and you better damn well believe it.These people have god on their side and they have no issues killing YOU.

Stop whining and deal with it.

Ahh yes. A mindset of the sheeple. I see the government's fear-inducing propaganda has convinced you.
You may accept blatant infringement of individual rights, but I certainly never will. I bet you're also okay with the governments warrant-less wiretaps and indefinite detention of Americans because you know "that's what the government needs to do to protect us." You'll do well as a future complacent lemming.

Yup. You nailed it. No ability to think for ourselves here....

I wouldn't be too concerned if there was information supplied that would indicate how many "attacks" were thwarted by these pat-downs.
Think of it as testing a new computer program: most people will test to see that the system works the way it should, not to see if it will won't. Maybe if the TSA sent in a few "test" subjects to really put the system to the test, and publish their results, then maybe we could justify our faith in the syytem or lack of faith.

Telling us it's all for the safety of the public without proof that it actually works is something like PSA about flying (kind of like those Cold War era "duck & cover" PSA's about nuclear bomb safety).

I need cold hard facts and figures, not hysteria and hype!

Fixed.

I fly at least every other week and have never had an issue with TSA in dozens of airports.

Yes, fitting all my hair and skin care products into a 1 quart bag isn't easy, but I can manage.

If a dude has to backhand my ballsack in order to keep some buildings upright or protect the Pentagon from another attack then I feel it is the least I can do. I remember people leaping from the twin towers and feel secure because we are now doing something to prevent another attack. To whine about it is a bitch move but any joke about cutting the cheese still gets a laugh out of me.

...and I fly every week. In fact, wheels up at 6:15 AM tomorrow to San Fran for a week. So you got groped. Big friggin' deal. Suck it up and deal with it. It is here to stay. As the freak said. if you don't like it, "take a bus".
I did just under 200,000 miles in the air last year and all in the continental 48. I have seen it all with TSA. Some of them are ego maniacs because they have a badge. The vast majority of them are just trying to do their job. I really don't have a problem with them.
