Sheeple enjoy TSA's anal probe

TSA IS NOW DEMANDING NAKED BODY SCANNERS AND GATERAPE AFTER YOU GET OFF THE PLANE WITHOUT ANY FUTURE FLIGHT, AS HAPPENED IN THIS CASE...
Beating the TSA: How a determined passenger spent hours arguing his rights before being waved through the checks
It's the solution that millions of American airline passengers have been searching for - how to avoid bodyscanners and intrusive pat-downs when they fly.
Now one patient traveller has proved it is possible to bypass the high-level security measures in place at all airports, but only if you have time on your hands.
Blogger Matt Kernan recorded his epic experience as he returned to North Kentucky International Airport in Cincinnati from Paris on Sunday.
Gaterape me please?
Exasperated at being told to prepare for a body scan and with time on his hands, the determined businessman decided to make a stand - with remarkable results.
Writing on his website www.noblasters.com, he said: 'I certainly don’t enjoy being treated like a terrorist in my own country, but I’m also not a die-hard constitutional rights advocate.
'However, for some reason, I was irked.'
'Maybe it was the video of the three-year old getting molested, maybe it was the sexual assault victim having to cry her way through getting groped, maybe it was the father watching teenage TSA officers joke about his attractive daughter.
'Whatever it was, this issue didn’t sit right with me. We shouldn’t be required to do this simply to get into our own country.'
As a result, Mr Kernan informed staff he did not want to go through the infamous Backscatter imaging machine.
He was told he would have to undergo an invasive pat-down search, but again politely told staff that he would consider any contact with his genital areas as assault.
Illegal alien in chief
After being told that the two options were TSA policy, he replied: ' I disagree with the policy, and I think that it is unconstitutional.
'As a US citizen, I have the right to move freely within my country as long as I can demonstrate proof of citizenship and have demonstrated no reasonable cause to be detained.'
As the situation escalated further airport police were called and more senior TSA officials but Mr Kernan refused to back down, remaining calm throughout.
Eventually causing a stand-off between police and TSA officers over who should resolve the situation, Mr Kernan was told by a superviser: 'Here’s what we’re going to do. I’m going to escort you out of the terminal to the public area.
'You are to stay with me at all times. Do you understand?'
He was then escorted by the police and no less than 13 TSA officer through security without a hand laid on him.
He said: 'And then came the most ridiculous scene of which I’ve ever been a part.
'I gather my things – jacket, scarf, hat, briefcase, chocolates.
We walk over to the staff entrance and he scans his badge to let me through. We walk down the long hallway that led back to the baggage claim area. We skip the escalators and moving walkways.'
He was then waved away by annoyed officers and said: 'In order to enter the US, I was never touched, I was never “Backscatted,” and I was never metal detected.
'In the end, it took 2.5 hours, but I proved that it is possible. I’m looking forward to my next flight on Wednesday.'
The passenger's success shows that even senior TSA staff are unsure to handle awkward passengers who question the legality of the checks.
The revelation comes as TSA workers admitted they have been left terrified by a public backlash over the checks.
Angry passengers have allegedly subjected Transport Security Officers to verbal abuse and even physical threats.
The American Federation of Government Employee, the union which represents officers, said a TSO was punched by a passenger in Indianapolis.
Union President John Gage called for more information on the searches including leaflets for passengers.
He said: 'TSA must act now — before the Thanksgiving rush — to ensure that TSOs are not being left to fend for themselves.'
Up to two million passengers per day are expected to fly today and tomorrow ahead of Thanksgiving, with huge delays expected.
Or just punch TSA in the face.

TSA vs. Pilots - Pilots win! Tsa Security Rules Will Change For Pilots [So EVERYONE gets to bypass TSA]
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (TheStreet) -- U.S. airline pilots will be able to pass through airport security without being screened, the Transportation Security Administration has decided.
Starting next year, pilots will be able to pass through checkpoints if they can produce proof of their identity, said John Pistole, administrator of the Transportation Security Administration, in an interview with Bloomberg.
"This one seemed to jump out as a common-sense issue," Pistole said. "Why don't we trust pilots who are literally in charge of the aircraft?" He said he is also talking with flight attendants about similar exemptions.
In recent weeks, pilot unions including the U.S. Airline Pilots Association, which represents US Airways(LCC_) pilots, have raised questions about subjecting pilots to either frequent screening with full body scanners, which emit a small level of radiation, or to the alternative, intrusive pat-downs.
"We welcome the TSA's action," said USAPA spokesman James Ray on Friday. "The number-one goal of any airline pilot is the safety and security of the passengers. This decision will enhance the efficiency of the security system by enabling more time for TSA personnel to address potential terrorists rather than pilots."
Ray said USAPA have been actively engaged in pursuing a solution with TSA leaders during the past week in meetings and conversations. He said USAPA President Mike Cleary met with top TSA officials in Washington on Nov. 16.
In a letter to members last week, Cleary wrote: "Based on currently available medical information, USAPA has determined that frequent exposure to TSA-operated scanner devices may subject pilots to significant health risks.
"Pilots should not submit to AIT screening," Cleary noted. "As pilots, we are [already] exposed to more radiation as a function of our normal duties than nearly every other category of worker in the United States."
Additionally, the Allied Pilots Association, which represents pilots at American(AMR_), and the Air Line Pilots Association, a multi-carrier pilot union with 53,000 members, have sought changes.
In a letter to American pilots, APA President Dave Bates wrote that pilots are "keenly aware that we may serve as the last line of defense against another terrorist attack on commercial aviation. Rather than being viewed as potential threats, we should be treated commensurate with the authority and responsibility that we are vested with as professional pilots," Bates said.
