I would like to know who exactly on the Federal level backs the TSA and promotes the TSA. Those people are in part supporting complete rejection of civil rights. Check out the link. I wish I could find the article about small groups of Americans somewhat to fully agreeing that if the TSA started requiring cavity searches that they would do it in order to fly. There are limits to security, then it's left to chance, imo.
Can't wait for MY trip through the airport for Thanksgiving. Oh boy. I may not have unusually oversized boots with tons of insoles, or an elaborate "bomb" making watch (what a friggin' joke), but they could say my flannel is offensive these days!! JIMINEY!
P.S Enjoy your turkey's, I'll be gettin' me a Whitetail AND eatin' turkey this Thanksgiving! Bro inlaw's waitin' on me! Peace out.
I'm pissed that every time I go to the airport with my family, hubby goes through first so we can send the kids through between us, then because there's such a delay getting all our crap down the belt (I stay back to push it all through) I end up looking like I'm traveling alone - I've been pulled aside to do the full-body scan 3 times in a row now and they're giving me f***ing cancer the a**holes. I do NOT support TSA, it's a joke.
[offtopic:1kukreqe]Have a great trip Jekyll, good eating and safe travels![/offtopic:1kukreqe]

Man, sorry you've had such troubles. I haven't had to do the scanner yet, maybe today is my lucky day! It will slowly get worse, but I've heard rumor that the full body scanners are being taken out and replaced with something "less harmfull." What a head shaker.
Off topic: Thanks for the salutations, have a good one too SC!!! Btw, sorry I've been such a meanie on here
Meanie?? rofllol You gotta try harder! (no, I'm kidding, don't really!). lol Compared to some doozies of members we've had in the past, you're just fine. Glad you're here!
I hadn't heard about switching out the body scanners, I'll have to check into that. Hubby contends that the next plane brought down in the U.S. will be with a ground missile; thus, rendering TSA completely useless (not that they're that useful these days anyway. It's all false comfort really).
