“CNN recently obtained a list of the “behavioral indicators” that could subject you to an enhanced security screening by TSA. Included on the list: Passengers who display arrogance and verbally express contempt for security procedures.” Arrogant? I’m arrogant because I refuse to allow some stranger to grope me and my children without cause? Because I refuse to allow a stranger’s hands in our underwear? If that’s how we define arrogant and contemptuous these days, then I wish everybody were arrogant and contemptuous, because we wouldn’t be dealing with this at all if people simply refused to fly under such circumstances. I have nothing but contempt for people that allow themselves and their children to be treated in this fashion.

I gave this link ten stars for your take on it, Sharon. I fear what the tipping point will be for present society, since this apparently isn't it. I haven't flown since 2000. I hated it then. I don't ever want to fly again.
Okay, is there anyone alive out there who DOESN'T understand that the TSA is an army of professional perverts? They're not there to protect the public; they're there to threaten, intimidate and abuse you. If Americans had any backbone, this outrage would have ended long ago, the day the airlines had to shut down for want of passengers. Fly if you must, but for Christ's sake, at least have the common sense to leave your children home.
