I thought you were blaming it on the Congress. My bad.
Has anyone on this board denied that Obama is anything but a civil liberties apologist? I think even the hardcore liberals will all agree that, on civil liberties, Obama is atrocious and worse than Bush.
I don't think you really scored any points there.

Govt' say they radiation is fine, don't worry about. Under the current approach to making you feel safe you'll be getting that thumb up the ass as soon as a terrorist manages to get something on a plane by sticking it up his ass. Then it will be "We must check everyone's assholes, it's for your own good."As long as no one is putting their thumbs in my asshole, I'm cool. Although I do wonder about radiation from those machines, anyone know if they you up?
Correct-a-mundo.
If you have kids, make sure you get them the book:
What if that child is Muslim?
Good summary here:

"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
That is the actual quote, and I agree with it 100%. Either route you pick, be it an 'aggressive patdown' or radioactive scanner, we have been robbed of several essential liberties for unnecessary and definitely temporary security.
I blame them too. But for anyone to blame these invasive techniques on president Bush, or the republicans, are flat out wrong.
The TSA doesn't have the force of law if congress wants to takes it away. they may operate under the executive branch, but congress can still take it away from them. May require a veto override vote, but the people are infuriated enough, I could see it happening.
Here's a question...
should sexuals be allowed to work as Pat down TSA workers?
They defeat the whole purpose of same gender workers....
How do you feel letting a grope your son's ass and genitals?
Bull . You can pin this one on both parties equally and the notion that if they don't pull this they're 'soft on terror', a meme that comes straight from warmongers like Cheney.
Don't come telling us your revisionist history now when I was traveling way before '06 and they still treated you like ing cattle.

jack sommerset, please pick up the sparkle courtesy phone.
That's funny, I hold the opposite view.
Bush pioneered it, Obama continues it.
In my moral universe they'd both be stripped of honors, disgraced and thrown into dungeons, but the political universe don't always work that way.
Disgraced, sometimes yes; stripped of honors after the fact, mostly no.
Punished? Ha.
(Except by the office. They all age rapidly before our very eyes.)
It's amazing how warped your view of reality is.
what are the odds of getting killed by terrorist in a plane or getting cancer from the scanners?
If the odds are about the same, what's the point of the scanners and invasive pat downs?
The point is that the Repug-created TSA narrow-minded, self-regarding bureaucracy covering its ass, no matter what the cost to citizens.
And of course, Chertoff getting paid $Ms for winning the business for the scanner mfr he lobbies for, after the Congress voted down funds for the scanners.
If the TSA s cause more people to avoid their puntive, humiliating harassments by driving rather than flying, and these scanners are to be used forever, causing millions more driving miles, then the TSA will be causing more road deaths than they are preventing Terrorists On A Plane deaths.
OBL is laughing his ass off at the insanity he's provoked in America.
Barry supports the groping.

They have always treated passengers like cattle. At least we used to be happy cows and bulls.
