RSSThe Audacity of TSA Grope: Airport Passengers Face $11,000 Fines For Refusing to be Groped
Welcome to America, the “home of the free” and the … well it used to be.
As reported in the Sun Sentinel, airport travel passengers that if you do not submit to having naked scans or a sexual groping that you will be fined $11,000 and face possible arrest. yes, that is what it has come to. Your rights of privacy have been taken from you. Sounds like Obamacare.
A note to the TSA, Napolitano and Obama … if this is your answer to security, the terrorists have won.
If you don’t want to pass through an airport scanner that allows security agents to see an image of your naked body or to undergo the alternative, a thorough manual search, you may have to find another way to travel this holiday season.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is warning that any would-be commercial airline passenger who enters an airport checkpoint and then refuses to undergo the method of inspection designated by TSA will not be allowed to fly and also will not be permitted to simply leave the airport.
That person will have to remain on the premises to be questioned by the TSA and possibly by local law enforcement. Anyone refusing faces fines up to $11,000 and possible arrest.
The ACLU has finally decided to support a cause that does not have a political agenda. As stated by the Gateway Pundit, get feeled up or fined … what options, eh?
Meanwhile, the American Civil Liberties Union was urging Americans to petition the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the TSA, to change the new policies.
“All of us have a right to travel without such crude invasions of our privacy,” the ACLU said in a statement. “Tell DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano to put in place security measures that respect passengers’ privacy rights. You shouldn’t have to check your rights when you check your luggage.”

Ok, so AMERICAN CITIZENS do have a RIGHT to refuse a full body scan or a pat down- but we will:
A. Be subjected to questions by the TSA
B. “Could” possibly face a fine of up to $11k or possible arrest (not going to happen unless you are indeed a Terrorist or on a No-Fly List, or have to wait for your “fly status” verification.
or
C. Probably just miss your damn flight and be really pissed.
D. All of the above
This makes no sense!
Like I wrote in my blog: What happened to Jon a.k.a. “Don’t touch my junk” they made it official.
This is government agency that is completely out of control. It is time to put an end to such nonsense.
Americans need to march on the airports where TSA operates and block all entrances, beginning at the airport property.
Especially when you consider that turban and muslin grab wearing passengers get special considerations. Yep, we’ve moved on to insanity.
