They have given themselves the ultimate high of being higher status than anyone in the airport. They're more important than the guy who flies a 747 or A380 because they can humiliate pilots. They can sexually humiliate anyone who sets foot in the airport and fine them $11,000 if they so much as question the process.<br /><br />Can you think of a better situation for someone who has been in low-status positions all their life? <br /><br />Blah blah blah you little loser man - indeed!SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-48181097198599917492010-11-21T12:27:34.793-05:002010-11-21T12:27:34.793-05:00My last dealing with the TSA was when they stole a...My last dealing with the TSA was when they stole all the high end cosmetics out of my bag. The clue was it was from an airport where ALL the bags are searched and they leave their little "Hi I've searched your bag" paper in there. Never missed it, ever. This time no paper, and about $300 worth of Chanel cosmetics and perfume that had been a birthday gift was gone. When I filed a complaint they said "oh it must have fallen out". Yes, that's why the Noxema skin cream and the $3.99mascara that was in the same contaner WAS STILL THERE.Home on the Rangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836315423040719919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-58009059776725626222010-11-21T09:31:01.912-05:002010-11-21T09:31:01.912-05:00You called it.

They've proven that they cannot be trusted.<br /><br />Just like everyone took Obama's $200 million/day trip figure without that grain of salt. Because it was not outside the realm of possibility, considering Michelle's trip to Spain, etc. <br /><br />And the eliteriti like Obama and Napolitano don't understand the power of the Monkeybrain. It's not like anyone they know are having to undergo this--so it's an intellectual problem to them. If they had to have the patdown, or their kids did, the TSA would be abolished immediately.Midwest Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17296327673871169304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-80431790108833889552010-11-21T09:05:20.368-05:002010-11-21T09:05:20.368-05:00You've already completely explained Napolitano...You've already completely explained Napolitano's attitude, the administration's attitude (last I heard, The One's solution was a psychopathically irrelevant scheme to unionize TSA gropers), and that of TSA gropers themselves: <br /><br />It's status. They've just handed themselves the authority to sexually humiliate everybody who sets foot in an airport, and to prosecute anybody who so much as complains. Talk about status! They're blind drunk on it. <br /><br />If this is a problem for you, you by definition have so little relative status that it's a mortal affront for you to speak up at all.<br /><br />It's true Napolitano et al are politicians, but politicians are just hyperactive status accumulators. This isn't a stumble along the way to their goal. This is the goal itself, right here. And they'll probably make it stick. Populations have been tolerating greater humiliations since the dawn of civilization. Americans just happen not to be broken to harness yet. <br /><br />I'd like to know how off-duty TSA employees are treated when they fly. I should Google that, but I don't think I'll find anything that surprises me.Retardohttp://nonalphanumeric2005@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-64502360557103853452010-11-21T07:11:04.644-05:002010-11-21T07:11:04.644-05:00Agreed on all counts.
