Business bans TSA agents.

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!

Funny, I don't remember voting for Napolitano, did you? Therefore I do see why I shoulder any of the blame. Hell I didn't even vote for Obama or any of the clowns in Congress so don't try and blame me.

Apples to oranges.

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

Some of us fly all the time for work so telling us not to fly is like telling someone that lives in NY to move because they don't like the AWB laws in that state. Granted I haven't had any issues with TSA (most of them probably know me by name) but I see shit that pisses me off. I once watched a lady get felt up for 10-12 minutes in front of everyone. For what? Because we're too afraid to stereotype people. She paid her hard earned money to travel not to be made to feel like a criminal or a victim. And no, she wasn't hot.

TSA and DHS do not have an easy job but I don't believe they have the people or policies in place to do the right thing either.

Exactly how is it Apples to Oranges? It is a rather exact analogy.

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

I guess the TSA agents who cannot afford to lose their jobs get a pass but the people who have to fly don't?

I posted this a while ago in my Top Articles thread but here is a much better way to stop the terrorists. The current policies have basically a 0% success rate as far as we know (and I am sure we would know if they actually caught a terrorist or found a bomb -- they would trumpet it from the rooftops at how great they are). It is a bunch of amateurs who have no clue on what they are doing running the boat.

This is how Israel is now doing it:

Your business, ban whoever you'd like.

I like the Isreali article.

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.

They are people doing a job, trying to get by like everyone else. There is no need to villainize TSA workers to somehow get back at 'the man' -it simply won't accomplish anything. Getting butt hurt and bent out of shape over this issue is not the way to change it (or to get anyone else to see it your way for that matter).

Oh boo hoo. They made their choice to feel up old ladies and take nude photos of passengers, so they sure as crap can live with the rest of us refusing to help them.

Denying service = villainizing? C'mon man.

Customers can boycott a business they do not like.

There is no reason a business cannot boycott customers that it does not like.
