I have been reading about all of the outrage toward the TSA's see through your clothes machines and legalized grouping techniques. It seem to me that the current methods of the TSA are over the line when it comes to some, and definitely over the line for those that vocalize their opposition the loudest. When it comes to their reason for their outrage they are correct this is an affront to their privacy. Though isn't interesting that people only care about defending privacy when their privacy is threaten. We can look no farther than the warrantless wiretapping program. Oh yes when it is only the privacy of some one who may or may not be a terrorist is what we are discussing no big deal but when it is time for you to board an airplane hay don't touch my junk.

Move On! Even the FISA court ruled that the wiretapping wasn't illegal.
Besides, unless you are trying to make the case that the US government is at war with air travellers, you don't even have a point here.
You may enjoy being molested in the name of "safety", but that is your vice, the measures are expensive, wasteful and don't make anyone any safer.
But they do make George Sorros richer, so he can continue his plans to buy the US.

So just ignore the Constitution, fine just remember that when something else comes up and you want to whine about it being unconstitutional.
You have decided to make a knee jerk about my attend. I am not in support of the current safety measures but why would you care about that when you can you this to take political cheap shots.

Gewcew, when you are ready to actually make a point, feel free. But when you spew tired rhetoric that has been discredited, then we know you have no point to make.
There is nothing Constitutional about the current TSA directives, there is also no justification for them.

Why are you assuming that the people who object to being molested by TSA were not just as opposed to warrantless wiretapping? I can't speak for everyone, but I've always been opposed to both. I'm also opposed to drunk driving checkpoints despite the fact that they are popular with people on both sides of the aisle. Each and every one of these things violates the 4th amendment.
The only funny thing is that what many people oppose centers around who is president at the time. Many on the left were screaming about how horrible the Patriot Act was, and yet were completely silent as a Democrat supermajority extended it and a democrat president (who vowed to oppose it as a senator) signed off on it.

I am opposed to both I am just amused by certain people that want to complain about their privacy being violated at a airport but don't care about anyone else's privacy. If you would have read my statement about their outrage being correct you would have understood what I was saying.
