My TSA Encounter - by Matt Kernan...
“You don’t need to see his identification.”
On November 21, 2010, I was allowed to enter the U.S. through an airport security checkpoint without being x-rayed or touched by a TSA officer. This post explains how.
This past Sunday, I was returning from a trip to Europe. I flew from Paris to Cincinnati, landing in Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.
Since I had nobody waiting for me at home and no connecting flight to catch, I had some free time. I decided to test my rights.
After putting all my stuff through the x-ray, I was asked to go through the Backscatter. I politely said that I didn’t want to. The technician quipped to his colleague, “We’ve got an opt-out.” They laughed. He turned back and started to explain.
After he finished, I said, “I understand what the pat-down entails, but I wanted to let you know that I do not give you permission to touch my genitals or the surrounding area. If you do, I will consider it assault.”
He called his manager over, who again informed me of the policy. Throughout this event, this happened quite a few times. After raising my concerns regarding the policy to an officer, they often simply quoted back the policy. For the sake of brevity, I will simply say “Policy restatement.”
I said, “I am aware that it is policy, but I disagree with the policy, and I think that it is unconstitutional. As a U.S. 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.”
Policy restatement. “You have two options – the Backscatter or the pat down. It is your choice, but those are the only ways you can go through security.”
I asked if I could speak to his manager.
“I’m the supervisor here.”
“Do you have a manager?”
“Yes, but he’s very far away at the moment. And he’ll say the same thing I am.” Policy restatement.
At this point, I took out my iPhone, activated the voice recorder, and asked The Supervisor, “Per my constitutional rights, I am not allowed to be detained without reasonable cause for arrest. Now, am I free to go?”
He answered, “If you leave, we will call the APD.”
I asked, “Who is the APD?”
“The Airport Police Department.”
I said, “Actually, that’s probably a good idea. Let’s call them and your manager.”

Part 2 of my encounter with TSA. More discussion about the logic behind "detaining."
#
The main arguments...
Part 3 of my encounter with the TSA. This is where it gets very interesting - the TSA simply refuses to answer most of my questions by claiming that they are invalid.
#
The walk out...
Part 4 of my encounter with TSA. This is an uncut recording of the escorted walk out. Not much here except for the beginning minute or so and the last 10 seconds. But the length gives you an example of the absurdity involved - for this long I was walking down the long hallway flanked by 13 TSA officers and 2 cops, with all sorts of strangers looking at me curiously.

“It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” Patrick Henry
The use of backscatter x-ray machines to scan travelers' bodies and new pat down procedures at airports will cause 48% of Americans to seek an alternative means of transportation, according to a Zogby International poll.
Of the 2,032 likely voters polled between November 19 and November 22, 61 percent said they oppose the use of body scanners and pat downs.

"It labels any person who “interferes” with TSA airport security screening procedure protocol and operations by actively objecting to the established screening process, “including but not limited to the anticipated national opt-out day” as a “domestic extremist.” The label is then broadened to include “any person, group or alternative media source” that actively objects to, causes others to object to, supports and/or elicits support for anyone who engages in such travel disruptions at U.S. airports in response to the enhanced security procedures."

i know dozens of sites who are supporting the opt-out day...starting with...drumroll...the drudge report...

Looks like the TSA has gone ahead with HR 1955, even though it is not a law. For the ping pong players, check the vote on this bill and see all the R's and D's are holding hands so admirably...

This is after all America, and you are guilty til proven innocent.

yep i thought about that...but then i check into the writing of the author...he doesn't seem too nutty...it feels legit to me...my guess is the memo is already outdated...it was probably an early response to all the criticism from a few days ago...but now they are getting it from all sources...they are getting railed even by couric on cbs...
If it's real, I'm not actually surprised. Thanks for doing the legwork on the author.
.they are getting railed even by couric on cbs...
Yep. Gotta watch out for those UVA grads -- what with Thomas Jefferson and all.
Subject: WARNING: Very Graphic Video of Bombing Aftermath “The Butt Bomb.”
Just when you thought it couldent get any worse..............next the TSA will start doing cavity surches before you can get on the airplane. Evan that Prety little wife and cute little 12 year old. Then we should of seen it comming, Ha ? Or, everyone just needs a Cat-Scan at the airport. Wonder if Obama Care will cover the cost.....?
I am posting this because the sequence that begins 8:45 minutes into the report shows the results of the attempt to kill a Saudi official with an "internal bomb," and may be of interest to people seriously interested in the effects of such explosives. But it shows the body of the would-be assassin in graphic detail, so be warned.

And You Thought TSA Pat-Downs Were Bad...
As you slog through security lines this holiday weekend, wondering if you should join the ranks of the anonymously naked observed by an unseen TSA agent or go eyeball to eyeball with one who pats you down, and pats you up, and pats sideways and roundabout with a little probing here and there—and there!—just remember it could have been so much worse. The specific terrorist bomb plots and propaganda that brought us to this humiliating state of affairs began more than a year ago with what some cops discreetly called “the body bomb” and others, rather more coarsely, called “the butt bomb.”

"Think for yourself and question authority."
~Timothy Leary
Syphilis, lice, gonorrhea, ringworm, chlamydia, staph, strep, noro and papilloma viruses all are part of the possible fringe benefits when airline passengers next go through a full hands-on pat-down by agents of the federal government's Transportation Security Administration, according to doctors.

Wanna see oil prices go down. Buy 5-6 5 gallon gas cans and fill them over the next 5 weeks. Not all at once but one a week. Then after you have enough to fill your tank for the weel, then do not buy gas for a week. Watch oil and gas fall like a rock. No demand, much lower prices. Pass it on.
Follow the campaign finance, they always support both sides.
You are so right my friend. But like Gomps says, George Soros, and the shadow goverment is running the show from both sides these days.
"Dirty Money" will buy anything you want. If you dont cave in, you get a bigger "Box of Money"............till you do...!
If the "Touch My Junk" pat down wont find any Powder inside your body, becouse they all know were on to them with the powder on the out side of their bodys now....what good are the new Pat Downs......................"Oh Yea, thats right, to touch little 12 year old girls and their mommys private parts.....!
Hey..............Wait...............but watching the vid, only 11% of the people flying go threw the new scanner, "Why"......they let 89% of the people go threw the old metal detector, How Come ? What if one of them had a powder-bomb in thAre "Fruit of the Boob" pants, plus a "Butt-Bomb" shoved up his ass................"Ka-Booooooom" @ 390 feet. (39,000')
Ha, tell me why........if 11% need to be forced threw the new scanner, then 100% need to be forced threw the scanner, Right. Is this about our safty, or is this just more goverment control and that seclect few making $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ off the American People ?
Plus, that "Fruit of the Boom" ass hole was put on that plane by a white man with a suit & tie. No ticket bought........no screnning.........right past the armed guards, reamber....Oh, we do this all the time, and NO-One asked any questions over there. Cuz the guy had a Fake Badge he got off eBay.
So, this year they will do it again with a Butt Bomb, or a lady this time with 2 powder-bombs down thAre, and next year the "Feel All-a-Round" your insides will be the new way of screnning.
Are you going to fly this season knowing our own goverment did this to us last year. After the goverment pulled off 911, the only reason behind it was to set up 3 new goverments to watch over the American People, Oh Right, and hire 28 million new voting Dems.
No Way Hoz-Zay, im walking to S. Gompers this year for a deer steak dinner and a Cold Beer from Jake........................................
