Airport Screenings

The airport screenings nowadays is something to be desired! I thought I should put in my 2 cents of blogging, since that is a very hot topic nowadays!!!!

The Transportation Security Administration has been mandated by the United States govenment to subject all people flying in and out of the United States to be subjected to an invasive scrutiny of a person's body! What do you mean all people?? I heard that the people wearing burtka's and are from the Middle East are not subjected to this degrading groping and naked picture taking!!! How are they exempted?? I do not know and I am not really sure why they should ever be exempted!!! If all of us has to do it, it is just right that every one... no exceptions should have to abide to the full body scanner and aggressive groping!!! Any comments from anyone????

Why and when did this start?? It started because of a Nigerian wearing a bomb in his underwear on Christmas Day. Damn those terrorists!!! But I really, honestly think that if the government really want to eliminate the terrorists, they can do so! Don't you all agree?? Because of them, our democratic way of life is starting to go kaput! What do you mean starting??? Whether we like it or not, we do not have freedom anymore!!! Sure we can go anywhere we want to but isn't there a camera now all over the streets and wherever you go??? Every move we make is recorded...every conversation we do is recorded.... and now, the government has a truck with an x-ray concoction that travels on the roads to take pictures of the inside of our cars if they think your car is a suspect!!! My!My! My!! Gone are those happy, merry, democratic way of life for us!!! Hold on... we were talking about the airport screening, you are deviating again from the subject??? I cannot help it, but I think this is intertwined with the security in the airport!

I have an idea... Oh, oh, I am afraid to ask what it is! Here is my idea... Since Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are fast approching, and there will be many travelers, why can't our government, starting with President Obama and family, to the senators and all their families, congressmen and all their families, and all of his cabinets and their families, go for a full body scan and aggressive groping which is personal pat downs including their groins? These govenment people should do it in the airport in front of the people flying! Is this asking too much?? Perhaps, if people will see that the President and the other government officials can do it, then the subjects, meaning all of us will probably be more submissive with what the TSA is doing! Ha! Subjects??? My goodness, sounds like we are under a monarch!! Wow!!! How about that??? Lead by example...our beloved government!!!! Right??? Any comments???

True, the body scanning and pat downs make our flying safer, but it is really ridiculous, and I think it has really gone too far!!! It is an invasion of privacy! I really do not want to be grope by anyone on my private parts, especially strangers!! Only our husbands or wives should be able to feel us!! Is that asking too much??? Supposed the person that is groping you is a pervert?? How about the person in the full body scanner?? Did these people go through background checks??? I know that Janet Napolitano said that the pictures are discarded right away. Suppose someone doing it has other ideas?? Is the person alone or are there are many in the room??? If he is by himself, anything can happen!!!! Right???

If someone refuse either the scanner or the groping, then the person will pay a $10,000 fine!!! Wow!!! That is really deep!!! Why can't we all just change our outfits before we go through security and tell the TSA that it is against our religion to be groped or scanned??? Then they have to think of other ways, is it not?? This is really weird!!!

Why is it that the only ones doing this is the airport in the United States??? How come the other countries are not doing it??? Are you sure the other airports are not doing it?? I am not really sure, but I am just concerned for now here in the US. Are the other countries more proactive? Do they have more expertise in security screenings? Why are the US citizens being treated like second class citizens??? Why can't we have normalcy in the airports? If the other countries are more keen and savvy with their security, why can't we send our people for training?

Hopefully, all of this will be resolved before the holiday travel. Take care every one and may God bless America and all of us!!!
