TSA Thugs Cry over "Dirty" Passengers...
A fun way to mess with them would be to wear intentionally soiled pants, with a change of pants in your pack. Dirty the pants with rotten meat in the pockets, old eggs, smears of stinky old milk... and then, when the TSA thugs grope you, keep leaning into their faces, letting them have plenty to smell.... Mmm-M! Soup is Good Food!
Here's the whining of the TSA:

Incredibly Authoritarian Aspects of Fed Medical Law Begin
If you can wade through the nonsense of the first five or six paragraphs of this piece, check out the meat of what the new regulations do to health insurance companies. The law stipulates that 85% of all PRIVATE insurance company profits be dedicated to certain business activities rather than advertising or profit. This is a shocking part of an already disgusting law, an aspect that truly shows the face of this authoritarian move by the feds. Your insurance bills are going to skyrocket.

Al Gore Finally Admits: Ethanol Subsidies Are Dumb - How Many Years Late is He?
Even as he says this, Congress is pushing another $5 Billion in Ethanol subsidies... RIGHT NOW.
How many years have we been saying Ethanol is a net energy LOSER due to the amount of energy it requires to sow and reap the corn and then distill the corn oil?
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/gore-admits-he-was-wrong-about-ethanol-s...
He's finally admitting, "the energy conversion ratios are very small..." We talked about this in 2005. We talked about how the push by the gubment to buy more ethanol and to force more of it into our gas pushes the price of corn, and all products tied to corn (such as beef and pork and foodstuffs sweetened with corn sweetener) up, up, up!
Duh. Is that the correct word?

Are Congressmen Exempt from TSA Scans/Gropes? Looks Like it!
Those who've heard our audio featuring Ron Paul know he asked that Congressmen try going through the scans and gropes so they would know what it was like. All indications are that the politicians don't have to live like we plebians do, under their thumbs.

TSA: "Submit, or We Will Keep You Here and Arrest/Fine You"
Here's an idea. What if liberty-minded people all around the US apply for jobs with and begin working for the TSA as screeners. Then, on a chosen day as they begin their jobs, all of them stop, and tell the travelers that they are not going to force people to do the scans, that the passengers have rights that cannot be infringed by the federal government, and they also inform the passengers that if they had been terrorists, they could have easily coordinated with passengers to let them through with weapons or explosives. It only takes some creative thinking (which, evidently the government folks don't have) to figure out ways to get explosives onto planes if people are really dedicated to doing so.
Chertoff Isn't the Only Goon Making Money Off TSA Scanners

As Expected, Pilots Get Pass on TSA Gropes/Scans
Now YOU try it and see if YOU get a pass...
The safety of air travel should be left up to those making their professions in the field, their insurers, and those wishing to do business with them, not politicians, bureaucrats, and unionized employees.
It's called, um... Freedom.

As Expected, TSA Blinks for Pilots
As Alex Jones reports, the mighty TSA is blinking in the face of the special interest that has the most clout -- the pilots. Good for the pilots, but we plebians still haven't seen any reversal or sign of it, and the actual issue of the constitutionality of the TSA is not being addresssed. Note, it does seem rather nutty to put pilots through scans to see if they have weapons, when they are the ones FLYING THE PLANES.
Stupidity is what the S stands for in TSA.
Or perhaps TSA stands for terorizing statist agengy.
Here's the article...

Statist Shill Krugman Endorses Fed Death Panels, Still Won't Accept Debate Challenge.
Even as Robert Murphy waits for Krugman to debate him on economics, the NYT editorialist and so-called economist continues to spout verbal offal in favor of the state. In this case, it's not just moronic nonsense promoting Keynesian inflationary policies. He's becoming more overt in his support of federal death panels. Take a look at this vid:

TSA Grope Called a "Condition of Flying" - video
Take a look at this, as the man who shot it leaves his video cam running in his bag, and gets the audio footage of what happens when you are given the false choice of being felt up, photographed naked, or not flying.
Listen to the TSA folks. Then consider. If you're walking to work and a gangster puts a gun to your head and says, "strip, lady, or I won't let you pass", is that somehow being presented with a real choice?
They constrain your options and then say you have options.
