I don't know why, but my skin crawls a little bit that I'm agreeing with Jack so much on this topic:chuckles:
This has nothing to do with Constitutional rights. We do not need the Wild Wild West happening at 20000 feet. And don't give me this crap that the TSA is a govt entity, but planes are private. Bullshit. Flying is and has always been highly regulated by the FAA, which is a branch of the US DOT. It is federally funded and in charge of things like making sure pilots are worthy to take your life in their hands, making sure the massive metal birds that fly in the air are safe to do just that, and yes, regulating civil aviation to promote safety. Would some of you actually feel safer without TSA searches and metal detectors and X-Ray machines, so we can rely on who has the bigger gun on board? Are you fucking serious? Who the fuck would even bother flying?
The TSA is not a rung in the ladder for the govt to climb up and drop its proverbial hammer down upon us. Fuck me. I'm highly pessimistic about this govt and its intentions, I think the Tea Party will gain major ground once people realize how fucked up both our major parties are, and I never turn a blind eye on any conspiracy theory that is well thought out. But this TSA thing being grouped with other Marxist/Socialist ideas we've seen lately in this country is fucking irrational, and frankly casts a shadow of illegitimacy on other much more well founded questions about this govt's deviance.
