I see all the workings of TSA as conditioning for what is yet to come for Americans (whatever that may be).

Well that is just the point. They do not care about our safety. It' s all about control. I have family that are exempt from these scans and searches, so they can come visit me. I know that they are wanting you not to fly, but I cannot have a stranger touch my kids like that and not punch someone out. So we drive.

Exactly. And we drive SUV's. I don't mind driving across America to get somewhere. We are long over due for a road trip anyways.

Thankfully this all ends very soon. The government is really, truly broke and won't be able to implement the security version of "bread and circuses" much longer.
No, because the gov't will just invent a new "passenger security fee" to make us safe when these busses are ridden.

There is a difference between "some basic measure of security" and the current TSA invasive search tactics.

Going through the scanners does not automatically waive you from having to endure an invasive pat-down. I wished all you TSA supporters would realize this very fact and stop talking as if it is an either/or.

Backscatter technology is pretty cool

I think we should have nekkid body scanners setup at every street intersection.

Also do not forget the 500 ZBV vans HLS just bought in addition to the previous 100 they already had. White box vans slowly moving through residential neighborhoods radiating and nekkid body scanning parked cars [and passengers], houses [and residents] and storefronts [and everyone inside those buildings]. Everything within 50 foot from the pavement gets radiated, nekkid scanned and recorded [for future viewing].

What better way to implement population control than that regular doses of radiation.
Who knows what effects that will have in 10-20 years when these kids grow up.

Don't worry though..the government says radiation isn't harmful now.
It used to be, but they decided it's not harmful anymore.

Good one!

On a related note:
I'm waiting for someone to justify cavity searches by stating"if you got nothin illegal up in your butt, whats the big deal?"
