Transportation Security Administration chief John Pistole said on Monday that he disregarded internal advice to the contrary and decided not to tell the public in advance about aggressive new screening and pat-down procedures for airline passengers, fearing terrorists could try to exploit the information.

HOW? TELL ME FUCKING *HOW* THEY COULD EXPLOIT THAT.

Jesus fucking criminy, are we THAT FUCKING PARALYZED by "fear of the unknown"? And we sit here and try to say we're an EXAMPLE for others to emulate?

Pistole said he doesn’t know what to expect of the protest, but that he worries for passengers who could “miss a flight because a group of people are blocking access or because they’re taking extended periods of time,”

This dude is making it sound like the people are going to be purposefully blocking the security lines or something. The only reason a backup would happen is because it apparently takes so damn long to grope someone (who knew?) or because they don't have enough goons screeners.

Old and busted: Think of the children.
New hotness: Think of the terrorists!

Scanners and "enhanced pat-downs"? Terrorists.

3.5 fluid ounces of liquid limitation and removal of shoes? Terrorists.

Trained attack kangaroos roaming the nation's airports? Terrorists.
