Airport Security Red Flags Jumping Out all Over


When Fox News jumps on board and the rest of Propaganda Daily something pops up like red flags in a desert.

This is about privatizing Airport Security after the Tax Payers spent $billions on start up costs. Michael Chertoff comes to mind as he already has a conflict of interest in X-Ray Machines.

When Airport Security is privatized it will give companies a open book on your life history, from your medical records, phone to banking. When a Far Right Republican get control of your records they can pick and choose how and who they interrogate or screen.

Nov. 17, 2010 Chertoff-Lobbyists and Airport Scanner contracts all have an apparent connection.

The former Head of Homeland Security had an ulterior motive in promoting the Airport security scanning machines that people are objecting to so strongly. The company that makes the machine is now one of Chertoff’s clients but in the past under the Bush administration Chernoff was selling these machines to the government and to the Obama administration and they bought it hook, line and sinker.

Lawmaker To Airports: Do Away With TSA

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A Central Florida lawmaker who helped to write the bill that created the Transportation Security Administration now says it might be time to do away with the government entity at airports.
Rep. John Mica is reminding airports across the country that they have a choice to opt out of using the TSA.
Mica will soon chair the House Transportation Committee. He has sent letters to more than 150 airports, including Orlando International Airport, suggesting that they dump TSA screeners and instead hire private security.

2. Check the Aviation boards.
They must have seen this coming. I swear there is one guy who seems to be at the epicenter of these clusterfucks, not matter where they happen in Central Florida.

4. TSA abuse
Inappropriate sexual contact is illegal in any context. Anyone who is touched where they shouldn't be touched should immediately get a real police officer and have the offender arrested on the spot. It is child abuse and illegal for a parent to give consent for a minor to be touched on the private parts. It is illegal for a minor to give consent to be touched on the private parts.
Under 18 CFR 2246, " 'sexual contact' means the intentional touching, either directly or through the clothing, of the genitalia, anus, groin, breast, inner thigh or buttocks of any person with an intent to abuse, humiliate, harass, degrade."
