Default The Daily Kos Reports That Male TSA Agents Are Targeting Women.

Some commentators have been trying to portray the outrage of fliers against the TSA as having been fomented by politically conservative voices. Well that's about to change.

Daily Kos, the ultra-liberal website has started to take notice of the outrageous actions of male TSA agents in targeting women.

They say that only female agents grope females, but it's far from the truth. Reports are coming in from many airports of male agents pressuring women to allow them to grope them or they'll be greatly delayed.

Some women have submitted, and have been traumatized by the experience.

When are we all going to rise up against this?

I flew to Philadelphia from Orlando on Thanksgiving day and returned on Tuesday. I saw nothing different regarding the security checks. Eveyone moved along with out delays. These isolated incidents are being blown way out of portion......as usual.

They relaxed the procedures over the Thanksgiving weekend just to deflate the outcry that was building.

People who flew on Thanksgiving weekend, for the most part, were not subjected to the new enhanced pat downs or naked body scans

Just read the first hand reports, Gracie; I'm not making this up.

The new procedures are not protecting you. They're already already obsolete and ineffective. You're being conned if you believe otherwise.

It means that if you're judging the TSA by their Thanksgiving Weekend toned-down searches, you don't have a clue about what's been happening and is happening again.

I'm not flying until the scanners and gropers are gone.

You're welcome to the search of your genitals and the search of your spouse's genitals and your children's genitals, but I'll be driving.

Doesn't mean I like it or have to shut up about it.

The point of this post was to show you that it is not just DRUDGE REPORT, or FOX NEWS, or GLENN BECK that are outraged by the new search protocols at our nations airlines, but now the ultra-ultra-lefist website THE DAILY KOS is also having to acknowledge the abuses of the TSA.

ARE YOU LISTENING OUT THERE!!!

Hello..........hello........hello

I'll be flying again when the scanners and gropers are gone, and our 4th Amendment rights have been restored.

"I'm out there"; ...................unbelievable.

I may not be entirely in favor of what TSA is doing, but your comments deserve a "Best wishes..and goodbye"!!
