POTD: Do you support the TSA's 'enhanced' screening methods?

[Mando Pandango]

All the horror stories come from the patdown though. So go through the body scanners, they don't work anyway.

[rdl]

come on if you had to pat down a really hot girl would you not at least sort of half kinda grab dat ass?

The pat-downs are performed by somebody of your own gender.

[gay joke]

[Zach]

no, unconstitutional

[ncba93ivyase]

I'm going to get a boner on purpose and wink at them and make them feel as uncomfortable as possible. 

you're the fag with a boner

no, unconstitutional

I don't support the shit they're doing at all, but I also don't see a mention of airplane "security" or the TSA in the constitution anywhere.

[[REDACTED]]

It's all security theatre.

you might want to look a bit more carefully at the 4th amendment.

[ncba93ivyase]

you might want to look a bit more carefully at the 4th amendment.

i'll admit i'm stupid and somehow forgot about it for a second

But I think it'll be upheld because you can choose whether or not to get on the plane, and the 4th amendment protects you from searches that are against your will.

I went to a football game a couple weeks ago and they did pat-down on everybody that went in. If you didn't support it, you didn't have to go. It's not like the TSA is breaking into your home and feeling you up forcefully, so until then, I wouldn't exactly say it's unconstitutional and there are generally other ways to arrive at your destination.

[Patrick Stickles]

i mean it kind of sucks, yeah, but i can't find myself in a situation where i'd be really upset about this

like if i was popping a boner i'd still probably go for the pat down, because that's lol, actually my roommate took some viagra before his visit back home so i should hear about that story

also yeah i don't see anything wrong with the body scanners



when they say "see you naked", it's not like they're masturbating to you or anything, and even if they are, i'm sure i've masturbated to girls who didn't wanna get masturbated to, it's a never ending cycle of masturbation

buy hot cakes now

[YPrrrr]

Yeah so I somehow made it through security in only 5 minutes on Thanksgiving eve... weird

Anyway I wasn't bothered by anything, I got some naked pictures taken of me and went on my merry way

Then again I was too tired to really pay attention to anything that was going on

[the shortest route to the sea]

I'll take the train, thanks. If I'm trying to pass in an airport the TSA has the power to (a) view my naked body, and pull me aside for identity bullshit or (b) if I don't decide to have my privacy invaded, I get to start a small scandal over who's patting me down. From a wider critique...I don't believe that national/international institutions purposed for something as vague yet seemingly critical as national security should be given the power with which to police travel, especially through profiling and exclusion of non-normative induviduals (particularly around race).
The anti-TSA stuff that I've been hearing has been in large part libertarian-style not-my-body kinda stuff, but I think it's important to see the danger to society as a whole, not only in seeing an Orwellian slippery slope, but the threat to especially non-white, but otherwise non-majority created by this kind of power difference.

[YPrrrr]

Wait, what does race have to do with this?

[burzumfan420]

if you are black they ttry to slam dunk u into prison

[YPrrrr]

Most of the security people I've ever seen are black anyway
