It's surprising anyone is flying considering they have to run the gauntlet of same-sex intimate fondling or DNA-busting peep show machines.

I'd like to hear some feedback to your question as well.

I've flown between Switzerland and Germany and Germany and France without any problems.   If it comes between a quick feel up or having your body scattered over the ocean it really should be a no-brainer.

Isreal solved this problem years ago and they do not use body scanners or pat-downs. Nor have they experienced a hi-jacking. We should emulate their example.

El Al's been criticized for using taking racial profiling to the extreme to keep terrorists and hijackers off their planes. And they search bags without just cause and without the owners present.   If someone's freaking out over a little stop and frisk what do you think they'll say about that?

I would rather have someone check my luggage instead of my sons sack !
Frisking children will never be okay, and if you consider the parts on a plane are made by the lowest bidder.
Oh I see Jet blue was in the news, seems the pilot went haywire, wow, safer already.

El Al's been criticized by libs who criticize everybody and everything that works right if it's not touchy-feely sensitive enough for them or if it "offends" anybody.
Who cares?
If it comes between a quick racial profiling or having your body scattered over the ocean it really should be a no brainer, right?
Three year old white kids in wheelchairs with broken legs haven't hijacked too many planes. It's usually muslims who do that kind of thing.
But naturally we'll keep strip searching the 90 yr old Christian ladies to make it "fair" so as not to "offend" a--holes like you or the peace loving muslims.

The only people trying to blow planes to bits are intelligence agency patsies in order to further the police state agenda. The 'underwear bomber' was allowed to bypass all security and board the plane. Shortly after that, we got the TSA, naked scanning machines and sexual abuse. Problem --> reaction --> solution.

The "terrorists" is a boogieman threat to make you accept a violation of your civil/human rights in return for your security blanket. It's no different than a gang extorting the neighborhood businesses in the name of 'protection'.

Ridge - you dumb, ignorant clown... I don't have a problem with racial profiling or pat downs - stupid. Why look for a little old lady when it's radicals that are doing all the damage. At the same point, I can see someone either slipping something into someone's bag or using a defenseless child to do their dirty work - so random checks are a GOOD precaution and if you or your child don't like it then maybe you're stupid enough where this is just Darwinism weeding out the dumb. I'm surprised you're not dating more Ridgy after the whole McVeigh bombing... I would think dumb, country f*ckers like yourself are pulled out of line all the time to get checked.

But don't talk to me Ridgy... you're over in your own post calling people cowards and you block me because you know you don't have the intelligence to answer common sense... you're a dumb, ingnorant hick. Talk about cowardice... you're the biggest one there is sitting at home behind his computer calling women names.   You're wife must vomit everytime she looks at you.   

As for the police state agenda... If you've talked yourself into that then there's no convincing you otherwise (it would only be a government plot to control your mind) have fun living in that world.

You're the one b*tching about racial profiling, putz. They do that instead of having creepy pansies like you getting off on feeling up men and little boys. You guys have finally found a way to do it legally, haven't you? You and your whole creepy, pussified party are what's wrong with this country, putzy, and real American Patriots who love this country are gonna put an end to you pukes trying to destroy it this November. Blee dat, know wut I'm sayin'?

You're the biggest P*ssy I've ever heard. You're no American. You're a gun toting, racist piece of sh*t and you know it.   Do you even no how to read you pathetic piece of cr*p?   Where did I complain about racial profiling you stupid b*llless loser? I wouldn't doubt it if you founded Nambla the way you keep talking about homosexuality and little boys... you're really are garbage.   Keep talking about the whole other party you Nazi piece of garbage... It shows everybody what a piece of garbage you are. I've noticed you've yet to admit you blocked me because you were too tired of looking stupid and hateful everytime you got out of line and I kicked you in your v*gina.   Everybody knows who the big P*ssy is here... Now we all know what "Out back in the holla means"   You get a guy "out back" and he makes you holla.

Keep calling yourself a patriot... maybe someone dumb will believe you.   Everyone else sees you for what your are... a waste of skin.
