Sounds to me like he thinks the TSA is an impotent organization that does a better job of making every flying American feel like a criminal than it does at preventing people from taking dangerous items onto a plane.
A very timely example, a friend of flew the other day and realized he had a pocket knife on him. Went through the X-Ray with the rest of his stuff, he goes through the strip-scanner. He was an hour into his flight when he though "oh crap. Did I forget to take that out?" And there was his knife.
Yeah... continue to be complacent and accept being required to check your civil liberties at the door.
Rand Paul has been a consistent critic of the TSA and actually had the pull to not be bullied into submitting to a strip-search or being put into a holding cell.

They are breaking down your will to resist. The congres and the states can stop it anytime they want.all 50 states have laws against it. It is called sexual assualt. 1st degree outside of pants 2nd degree inside of pants. 1st is a misdemeanor and 2nd is a felony. Kids are 2nd degree.everyone is scared to do there job.

JD, buses no, but if you ever get a few extra days, take the California Zepher out of
Oakland to Chicago and fly from there.
Best train trip I ever had, the scenery and wildlife is unbelieveable.
Just make sure you get a sleeper.  |

Prolly not, but a bigger push on Agenda 21 would be a possibility. |

I'm guessing you haven't traveled for work much. I take the train for most of my travel for anywhere between Boston and DC. The reason the TSA is able to get away with this crap and force people to be groped, molested and interrogated without any probable cause is because people *have* to fly and there is not other practical choice for many locations. |

I've flown plenty of times for work - not as much recently. I've never been bothered by the searches. Flying isn't a right. |

It's funny, the NRA just makes stuff up and the gun crowd goes nuts.
Sorry to break it this way, but your assertion is bogus.

Anywhere out of Acela range you can't get there via train, the train price is reasonable but be prepared. BOS to CHI is a 25 hour trip via DC with a 2 hour layover in DC. I could drive to CHI faster, total cost 1 way with a sleeper is 300 buck. 90 min plane ride plus SEECURITY |

Shows you how long this rumor has been kicking around.....
Right about the same time as the "Obama Wants your Guns" mindset was around (or probably is still around).

Why would they waste the money, if what you claim, with zero to back it up, is true???
Maybe the "Fast and Furious" program can be used to show that he wants more guns on the streets. |

Do you know where the NRA gets most of its lobbying money?
Here's a hint.
Not its members.
I know, its hard to stomach, I know you're feeling sick and you want to scream "LEAVE THE NRA ALONE!" but its ok, just accept the fact that they're just another lobbying group with more interest in itself and big corp than you.
It'll be OK, I promise. |

Wayne LaPierre Falsely Claims "All" The NRA's Money Comes From Small Donors | Media Matters for America
Yawn.
Since 2005, corporations--gun related and other--have contributed between $19.8 million and $52.6 million to the NRA as detailed in its Ring of Freedom corporate giving program. In a promotional brochure for the program, NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre promises that the "National Rifle Association's newly expanded Corporate Partners Program is an opportunity for corporations to partner with the NRA....This program is geared toward your company's corporate interests."
"Corporate Partner Program" is a nice clean way of saying "We take lobbying money"
Isn't it so nice sounding?
You think corporations sponsor groups like the NRA out of the goodness of their heart?
