    Wow, the underwear “bomber” stunk up the whole country!

    # 17 chuck said, ‘ “You gotta remember the underwear bomber…” … TSA let him walk right on the plane.’

    While I am in sympathy for your emotions, the TSA was not involved with the underwear bomber. He boarded his plane in Amsterdam. You are to be forgiven the error since Napoleono mentions him in defense of the pat downs.

    By the way, I can’t verify the truth, but it is being reported that dear Janet N. refused to be scanned at JFK. What a blessing for the TSA agent manning the monitors.

    BTW – what’s with the meme “naked body scanner”? It’s a grammatically poor construction. I think they should just be called what they are: pornography imagers.

    We SHOULD use profiling.

  4. Breetai says:

    I love the idiocarcy that they’re doing this crap to the crew too. I mean you gotta be shitting me, they’re flying the frakin plane. If they want to kill everyone they’ve got the steering wheel, all they have to do is dive.

    You’d think think security theater would at least pretend they’re competent. Nope

  5. Number 25 says:

    I’m going to be flying over the holidays. What am I to do?

  6. dcphill says:

    The terrorists have won. I’m scared to death of being irradiated or felt-up by our security folks. I don’t want to fly commercially till I can fly without all this paranoia about security. All this security stuff has made me feel insecure and I hate it. I am not a criminal and refuse to be treated as such.

  7. usa1 says:

    It seems the TSA is working on behalf of the automobile industry to make flying as invasive and miserable as possible. Long live the road trip!

  8. spsffan says:

    1. You have no 4th Amendment rights when boarding an airliner…you are subject to the requirements of the airline. These days, that means putting up with the TSA scan or grope, even if the airline does not run the TSA.

    2. This guy must have very small junk.

    3. You mean people who agree to travel by air, and therefore have already been butt fucked by the airlines have the nerve to object to a brief grope??? What’s wrong with people. Grin and bear (or bare) it or stay home.

    4. Actually, this whole thing is a secret plot to reduce use of petroleum and carbon emissions. The idea is to scare people away from flying so that they either stay home or use a more eco-friendly form of transport. :) .

    5. Of course, those not paranoid about their own bodies really don’t care anyway. That is, unless they have 50 pounds of explosives stuffed in their unmentionables.

  9. ramuno says:

    Wait until someone tries sneaking stuff on-board up their butt. Then, we all will get finger probes.

  10. pedro says:

    MC Hammer will become popular once again. Can’t touch this!

  11. Joe says:

    The TSA could solve this problem by hiring only attractive men and women to do the body searches. I wouldn’t mind a hot redhead fumbling around my junk.

  12. nick the rat says:

    wait, why is he getting hit with a 10k fine?

  13. chuck says:

    #28 – so we’re subject to the requirements the airline — which are following rules imposed on them by the government.

    If any airline refused the TSA rules, the FAA would simply shut them down.

    Under the same logic, since airlines aren’t bound by the constitution, they could simply execute every passenger who doesn’t want an enhanced pat-down.

    Bin Laden’s bodyguard worked for the Egyptian equivalent of the TSA.

  15. two to the head says:

    Poor guy probably listened to the NoAgenda podcast and took Curry’s advise. We better raise some $$ to help this guy out.

    You have to have the right language when dealing with tsa pat downs. You can’t threaten them beforehand or you get this outcome. You probably need to wait until after the pat down and then ask a supervisor to file a report stating that you were touched sexually.

  16. Mostly Harmless says:

    looks like the underwear bomber was more successful in failure

    on no a Republican a dilemma

    Fear Government or Fear Muslims on a plane

  17. Sister Mary Hand Grenade of Quiet Reflection says:

    I was felt up this week, it made my nipples hard. It wasn’t at the airport though.

  18. Animby - just phoning it in says:

    # 37 Sister Mary said, “I was felt up this week, it made my nipples hard.”

    Was that you? The bar was so dark…

  19. Tin Foil Underwear says:

    For a long time there’s been this talk about “tin foil hats.”

    Now I’m thinking it’s time for tin foil underwear. That’ll keep the prying eyes of the TSA out of my pants!

  20. Yankinwaoz says:

    Who screens the TSA? They have access to the secure areas of the airport. What is to prevent a TSA agent from smuggling in weapons and explosives?
