The Party of "No"
Technorati and Me
Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".
Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.
Wankers.

The TSA is winning the War on Freedom one "love pat" at a time
Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri) calls the TSA's new enhanced pat-down screening procedures "love pats". (Remember "It's not a grope, it's a Freedom Pat" from #TSAslogans?) Yes folks, it's the official position of your government that a TSA flunky will love you long time.
The good senator is also "wildly excited" that she can now walk through a machine which displays her feminine charms for all the world to see instead of getting her "dose of love pats".
Uh huh.
Senator McCaskill is the latest governmental apologist for the TSA. She won't be the last. They're putting on a full-court press to convince us that violating our Fourth Amendment rights is as American as apple pie.
Tell me senator, was what the TSA did to this midwestern mom a "love pat"?
She instructed me, "Spread your feet apart and hold your arms out to the side." I obliged.
She patted my left arm, my right arm, my upper back and my lower back. She then said, "I need to reach in and feel along the inside of your waistband."
She felt along my waistline, moved behind me, then proceeded to feel both of my buttocks. She reached from behind in the middle of my buttocks towards my vagina area.
She did not tell me that she was going to touch my buttocks, or reach forward to my vagina area.
She then moved in front of my and touched the top and underneath portions of both of my breasts.
She did not tell me that she was going to touch my breasts.
She then felt around my waist. She then moved to the bottoms of my legs.
She then felt my inner thighs and my vagina area, touching both of my labia.
She did not tell me that she was going to touch my vagina area or my labia.
I stood there, an American citizen, a mom traveling with a baby with special needs formula, sexually assaulted by a government official. I began shaking and felt completely violated, abused and assaulted by the TSA agent. I shook for several hours, and woke up the next day shaking.
This lady was sexually assaulted by a government functionary. In public. As a matter of policy. A policy endorsed by the President of the United States.
You will recall that to Obama and his henchmen the playing of loud music in the presence of a Guantanamo detainee constitutes torture. Sexually assaulting an American citizen in the name of "security"? Not so much.
Here is why I was sexually assaulted. She never told me the new body search policy. She never told me that she was going to touch my private parts. She never told me when or where she was going to touch me. She did not inform me that a private screening was available. She did not inform me of my rights that were a part of these new enhanced patdown procedures.
Rights? According to the TSA once you enter an airport you have no rights.
Mark Hemingway's wife was similarly molested by the TSA. In response he puts forth an interesting proposal:
So here's my not-so-modest proposal: If the President's Homeland Security department is so adamant that this is the absolute best way to prevent terrorism, I think the President and his family should voluntarily submit to one of the new invasive pat down procedures. I know the Obamas don't fly commercial at all these days, so they should probably get a pretty good idea what the rest of us are putting up with.
The President and his family — preferably with DHS Secretary Janet "The system worked" Napolitano — should show up at Dulles or Reagan airport on a weekday with a camera crew in tow, as airport pat downs are typically done in full view of hundreds of travelers. All of America will to see the TSA handling the President's crown jewels. Then a rubber-gloved federal agent will run his hands all over his wife and daughter's privates while he watches. Then I want him to turn to the camera and tell all of America that this is no big deal and we should all be good citizens and comply with the necessary security procedures.
Hah. Like that'll happen. When the first TSA porno scanners were deployed Janet Incompetano sent a flunky in to be electronically strip-searched for the cameras. There was no way that the person in charge of publicly humiliating airline passengers was going to be subjected to a taste of her own medicine. Security, like paying taxes, is for the little people.
Does anyone honestly believe that Barry and Michelle will stand idly by
while TSA plays grope-a-dope with Malia and Sasha? But you know what?
He should. He should learn firsthand the consequences of his ill-conceived
policies. And if his kids have nightmares for weeks afterward? So much
the better. Before you say it's off-limits to pick on his kids let me
ask you this. How many little girls flying to grandma's house for
Thanksgiving will the TSA traumatize next week? Are Malia and Sasha
better than them?
