Is the TSA preparing the American people for a police state?

Who supported all of this Homeland Security kind of stuff out of fear?

I warned Y'all and you would not listen, just babbled on about you are either with us or for the terrorists, called a conspiracy nut, unamerican, etc.
Darned short sighted frightened partisan hacks.
 
ahh the tsa is abusing their power...but in their defense...they are simply doing their jobs....we didnt have body scanners a few years ago...i would love to know what company makes them and who they are connected too...well lets just try to follow that money

okay obama orders the body scanners...but who from? and how much?

PREPARING us for a police state?!

What does it take before you decide that we're already living in one, exactly?

We have about 1% of the population in prison already.

About 3% of the population works for the state already.

Go anyplace in America.

There's about fifty different state, local or Federal armed police forces with authority over you right now.

What the hell do you need... an engraved announcement that you are living in a police state?!

Pal, you've been living in a police state so long that you don't know what a non-police state even looks like.

the body scanners were ordered after the underwear bomber's think, i believe. it's not exactly a high resolution porno quality picture.

personally, i couldn't care less...

the whiners here are the same lunatic whiners who don't want social security, department of education, seatbelts.

whining randian imbeciles.

you might also ask them how many times a year they fly. i'm going to bet for most of them it's not much.

you can opt out of the scanner... but then you get frisked. there's not a lot of choices, b/c let's face it, if someone did have a bomb concealed in their underwear again, they'd be the first to opt out.

of course, then the terrorists learned to implant bombs in women's breasts...

and if tsa misses something and something terrible were to happen, the same loons you see whining now will be the same people shrieking about how it's the TSA's and the president's fault...

same as they did about the underwear bomber, even though he was caught (but bush's shoebomber was ok).

these people are nuts... it doesn't matter what anyone says. they've got an agenda.

You are wise Bones:
The Airport Scanner Scam | Mother Jones
Which brings us to the money shot. The body scanner is sure to get a go-ahead because of the illustrious personages hawking them. Chief among them is former DHS secretary Michael Chertoff, who now heads the Chertoff Group, which represents one of the leading manufacturers of whole-body-imaging machines, Rapiscan Systems. For days after the attack, Chertoff made the rounds on the mediapromoting the scannerscalling the bombing attempt "a very vivid lesson in the value of that machinery"—all without disclosing his relationship to Rapiscan.
Work for the government.
Write law mandating something.
Work for civilian company that provides the very thing you mandated.
Profit!

It's a good gig if you can get it.

You see, there are basically three big players when it comes to the full body scanners you will see in a U.S. airport: l-3 Communications, Rapiscan and the American Science and Engineering company. All three have made hundreds of millons of dollars since terror-related events like 9/11 and the "Christmas Bomber" Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's failed attempt to blow up a passneger plane in 2009 (an attack, if you'll remember, that the Government Accountability office said would probably have not been prevented by full body scanners).

All three firms have cozy ties to sitting U.S. Representatives and lobbyists, from both sides of the aisle. Writes Carney:

Why bother? The scanners wouldn't find it.

The underwear bomber was caught? The only reason he was "caught" is the bomb didn't work right. I may be paranoid, but I am pretty sure that a bomb that is ignited, and fails to explode, does not count as being caught. Or did I miss another memo?

The only reason he was caught was because the guy sitting next to him kicked his ass. It also helped that the bomb did work.
