Will TSA Groping Destroy Tourism In The United States?

"The TSA is literally taking a sledgehammer to our tourism industry. They are going to cost us tens of billions of travel dollars. These are tourist dollars that our economy desperately needs.

But even more horrifying is what all of this says about how far America has fallen. We are rapidly becoming a Big Brother police state where average citizens are routinely treated like dehumanized prison inmates.

It is a national disgrace and the rest of the world is watching all of this. Barack Obama and many of our other top politicians continue to stand up and defend all of this abuse by TSA officials. They are making us look like scum to the rest of the globe."

What Makes TSA Different.

"Unlike ATF and other federal agencies with bad reputation, TSA is an equal-opportunity offender. They pick on the babies and they pick on retirees, they pick on pregnant women and on invalids in wheelchairs. They do so in plain view. They also seem to hire bottom of the barrel personnel, the kind of creatures who need charm lessons from skunks and who need affirmative action to be considered for hire in place of possums.

Their current efforts to offend almost every segment of the American people means they will be the test case. What will the American public do about them? This will be fun to watch with Thanksgiving and Christmas travel seasons coming up. Few people would want to drive across the country in winter to see family, so many will fly and get mistreated. What are the chances of TSA becoming the national bullseye for derision, legal and lobbying action and --- should all those fail -- direct retirement actions by concerned individuals? Nobody likes bullies or child molesters, especially those who abuse official capacity for the purpose."

"Where will the next generation of Goldwater traditionalists and Paulian liberty champions come from? If the Brits can raise a Daniel Hannan, what is the excuse why America produces only whining cowardly trolls that suck the mother’s milk for crying victimized infants? Grow up and start fighting or stop babbling God Bless America. The nation deserves better." Via Conservative Heritage Times
