Crazy airport security theater affecting travel & economy?

  1. It is a question of how much security we expect and demand from our government. There is always a tradeoff between security and convenience. The TSA is getting close to the maximum the American people will bear.

  2. Ron Paul: Crotch Groped by TSA, Calls for Boycott of Airlines

    Appearing on the Alex Jones Show today, Texas Congressman Ron Paul expressed his outrage and disgust with the TSA and its unconstitutional naked body scanners and genital groping under the transparent pretense of protecting the American people from terrorists in distant caves.

    “If we tolerate this,” Paul said, “there’s something wrong with us.” He added that the American people deserve to be humiliated and demeaned by the government if they refuse to stand up and resist.

    Paul predicted Americans will eventually boycott the airlines to put an end to the intrusive searches and the unconscionable use of dangerous backscatter radiation naked body scanners. “Maybe the Congress will get off their duffs and do something in January,” he said, “and insist we reign in the TSA.”
