I'm outraged and you should be too. Did you click on the link and watch that disgusting video? Go do it now. I'll wait.
Here's what I have to say about this new searching procedure in place at the airports:
This is America! The home of the Free! Over my dead body will I ever let a TSA agent take off my child's shirt and frisk him! What is going on here, people?? Because we've swung so far to the left we don't want to hurt anyone's feelings by "profiling" we'll allow a grown man to put his latex gloved hands on our children? Are you outraged yet?
Do you know what we're doing by allowing a child to be stripped and fondled? We are sending the pedophiles into a brand new employment. Isn't it enough that they've become priests?
I like profiling or behavioral analysis. I don't care what you call it, but I like it. The FBI knows, thanks to behavioral analysis, that serial killers are educated, white males in their thirties. I like knowing who the serial killers are. Now I know who to stay away from in dark parking lots. I also like knowing who the most likely group is to try and blow up an airplane. And guess what, my children aren't in either of those groups so keep your hands off!
The terrorists are winning people. They don't want us to live in a free land. They want us to be scared and I'm sad to say it's working. Stand up and shout. Don't stand for this. Take your country back. Get outraged!
You're right, Stacey. We are allowing threats to our safety cloud our judgement. Seriously, can't they come up with another soution to this? Is this the best we can do?
ReplyDeleteI would love to see this in context. I'm curious to see what led up to this. Overall, I don't oppose the heightened security. The body scans, pat downs..I have nothing to hide and feel I have no privacy that has greater value than my and my family's security.
