[Opinion] Oh my Rowling!

I can't believe the TSA, can you?

What's the S in TSA Stand For Again? -- link-heavy opinion piece on DW.

The TSA Admits to Punishing Travelers -- on Consumer Traveler. TSA admits that the "enhanced" pat down is used as both a deterrent to opting out of the scanners, and as a punishment for doing so.

I ws just reading this. What the hell?

[celestineangel]

No kidding, right?

And the worst part is that everyone I've talked to about it around here, not online, but offline, seems to think it's all fine. "It's not as bad as all that, it's just sensationalism" or "Well, they'll keep you safe."

WTF?? No, they won't keep you safe by molesting you! What the hell??

I've never flown anywhere before, and all of this is certainly not making me eager to fly anywhere now.

I like the train anyways.

[celestineangel]

I've never ridden a train!

Grr.... That is all I can say.

Edit:
I talked to you offline about this. And you know I want the TSA disbanded and these Pro Gropers in a gulag!
