Business bans TSA agents.

[500grains]

KC McLawson works for a cafe near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, and since the body-scan and patdown controversy last November, her boss has taken extraordinary measures to ensure the TSA knows of his displeasure.

“We have posted signs on our doors basically saying that they aren’t allowed to come into our business,” she says. “We have the right to refuse service to anyone.”

Actually there is a viable alternative to banning TSA agents from a restaurant:

Put them through the cafe's security check. Every TSA agent would have to wait in line 1 hour, get patted down with dirty virus-carrying blue gloves, felt up, strip searched, humiliated, money stolen, and photographed nude. Then if their name (or one similar) isn't on the no-eat list, they could order a burger.

Sounds like they're shooting the messenger. Very mature.

The old "we were only following orders" defense?

Well, you can't expect them to quit their jobs, especially not at a time like this. If we were really interested in placing blame, the finger should be pointed at the people that put that people in charge at the TSA. Oh wait, that would be us!

A person with character would refuse to engage in the activities in question.

Turn about is fair play. Just as we are unwilling puppets in their game, the agents are unwilling puppets as well.

I know, next time we have a war, lets not kill the enemy. Let's just sing Koom-by-ah (or however that is spelled) together with them. Let's just concentrate on taking out their leadership only. After all, they are the ones who are in charge.

Apples to oranges.

If you don't like the policy, don't fly. That's the best way to affect change.

I'd bet that they'd extend the same courtesy to Pistole or Janet if one of them happened to roll through.

Yet you conveniently ignore the fact that the entire TSA is Unconstitutional? Great argument. If we don't like something that was wrongly forced on us, we just change our lives? Here's an idea: how about making the people that want "safety" over liberty move to another country where the government controls everything, like the UK? Hey, if they don't like it here, they can leave, right?

Really? Federal courts have recognized a right to travel. So how am I going to go to Japan if not on a plane? My 4th amendment rights have been infringed by a rogue agency run by a lawless administration.

And what are you going to do when TSA sets up checkpoints and implements searches at state boundaries? Will you still think it is ok?

I have zero respect for anyone who works at TSA. I would quit the Gestapo. I would quit TSA. A friend of mine who was one of the original members of DHS sent in his resignation letter as soon as Napolitano issued the memo calling veterans, gun owners, etc. domestic terrorists. He has character. The people who work at TSA do not. The people who condone TSA's procedures do not.
