New Hampshire Legislators Propose Bill to Make Pat-Downs a Crime
A bill proposed by New Hampshire legislators would make random Transportation Security Administration (TSA) pat-downs and full-body scans a crime in the state. Under the proposed legislation, an airport security screener who conducts a pat-down or full-body scan without probable cause could be subject to felony sexual assault charges – though the Manchester Boston Regional Airport does not yet have full-body scanners. The bill would also apply to security searches at courthouses. It proposes… (news.travel.aol.com) Mehr...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
is chanting the Kuran worst than saying the Our father - I know whan I fly I always say a little prayer maybe not as vocal as others around me - but we all hope to get where we are flying to and it's nice to think we can speak to GOD wherever we are....
To add to that ability to fly my own airplane,I have to have a TSA pass to enter the airport. I have been subjected to a financial disclosure, background checks by the FBI,CIA,local police. My parents, grandparents, and wife have been investigated. If they did there job as well instead of stealing things from passengers we would be better off, even flying private. Patdowns and scanners are not the answer
Sorry, I will let it go, most of the time [99%] I fly my own airplane, have for the last 38years.
Political Correctness only has few positives, this is not one place where I want to be "correct" pat me and everyone on the plane down. I'm not concerned with what color, creed, religion, or age you are. Get a pat down or fly private and get over it. It's not just terrorists, anyone is allowed to fly, who knows how crazy the person is next to you and what type of weapon they are carrying? All there are, are complaints...FLY PRIVATE! Some whiny person who feels violated because they left a knife in their bag should expect something to happen..GET OVER IT! How about everyone just not be so stupid?
Hey, they have won, our freedom is gone. Profile if needed, dont let them on airplanes, we are not being bombed by americans...............
Boguslaw, I think they should ask about a passenger's religious beliefs. Would you want to sit next to someone who is chanting verses from the Quran? That would scare the hell out of me. Yes, not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims. But, that's an entirely different subject that I don't want to get into right now.
I don't think pat-downs are overkill. How do we know what is in somebody's pockets, or what they might be concealing under their shirt?
Why should we draw the line? Terrorists don't care. They are going to get to us no matter what we do, so why should we limit ourselves because we are a nation made up of crybabies and we are afraid to hurt people's feelings?
Pat-downs need to be done. It is the quality of the American people that is the problem. Americans have become too touchy-feely, it is disgusting. We, as a nation, need to grow up. We need a major overhaul of the people in this country. People need to realize that they can't scream rape when somebody asks them what is in their bag. People need to realize that they can't throw a temper tantrum like a 4-year-old when they don't get their way. Like I said above, flying is a privilege not a right, and if you don't want to go through the proper procedure to get on and travel by airplane, then you don't get to go. Period. End of story.
