I had to endure being hand patted down again yesterday evening at Oakland International Airport because I refused to let the TSA look under my clothes with their machines. I am definitely thinking of curtailing my flying and others I know have said they are as well. I wrote my congressman and Senators here in Washington State and I got a great response from congressman Inslee just today about my privacy concerns over being treated like a criminal. I am a very patriotic American veteran of the Afghanistan War, with two military identifications and I felt like a criminal at the airport. The TSA agent asked me if I wanted a private screening room and I responded by saying, ‘Are you going to ask me to take my clothes off?’. The TSA agent did not like that. Our rights are being eroded by the Department of Homeland Security.

Yeah, and have Obamas minions decide to audit them to death, or the FAA threaten to decertify airports that do that. Hell the feds played such games when airports tried to kick the TSA out adn go back to commercial security firms that were cheaper, more effective, and didn’t abuse the passengers.
