well first off, I have no desire to go to another country.  Second, if I want to go anywhere within the states, I will learn how to drive in the city, or go on the road with Jaun.  It is a bunch of bull crap what our states are doing.  So much for our freedoms.  they are no longer.

Yes this is just one more thing we have to deal with in order to have "freedom".  I am wondering where the freedom went. 
Pilots no longer have to go through the pat downs or scanners, because of a trust they are expexted to have.  Well i am in th emilitary, so there is a trust that the country has for me.  So do I get to skip the scanners and patdown?  NO.  Wait till they grab my crotch, because I am refusing the scanner.  I will let everyone know that they are handling my junk.

Hey guys...Give a thought to those of us who have "metal BODY parts"!!!

We automatically got 'patted down' even before the "Underwear Bomber"!

I am flying to Denver Friday and I told my daughter I would need warm clothes when I arrive because I am going to the airport in a friggin' DIAPER!

Seriously I will be wearing fleece 'sweats', no underwear, no socks and slippers!
No watch, rings, medals, belts, shoe laces, NOTHING except my Titanium Knee, my hearing aid and my I.D.!

You might want to watch "YouTube" Friday afternoon because if they attempt to 'grope my crotch' I will just drop my pants for all the world to see!

They could, at least, let us choose which of the TSA agents will do our pat down.  There was a cute one in Atlanta last week that I would have LOVED to have pat me down!!!!
