USA TODAY: Taking off your shoes is no longer enough! New air scare brings renewed travel hassles

By Haya El Nasser, Kathy Kiely and Thomas Frank, USA TODAY

Taking off your shoes is no longer enough.

Security agents may pat the soles of your feet, work up your legs to your waist and run a wand across your whole body. Bags may be searched even after they pass the scanner. Bathroom breaks may be eliminated for the last hour of international flights. Blankets on your lap on those flights are verboten, too. Forget about that extra carry-on bag. And those controversial body scanners that can see under passengers' clothes? They could show up at more airports.

We're the Criminals!

We're the criminals now! We get treated like criminals just because the PC powers won't profile the most obvious category: moslem men flying alone one-way. Heaven forbid these men get subjected to additional scrutiny! Instead, my baby boy got his milk bottle seized in Amsterdam/Schipol by the Bitch from Buchenwald because it contained 8 ounces of milk instead of the maximum permitted 6 ounces!

"Cowards & idiots can come along for the ride but they gotta sit in the back seat!"

What you think the profiling of Muslims is completely fair?

Then tell me why a family I know went to california- and they were detained for 6 hours because their son's name matched that of someone on a terrorist list- how old is their son? THREE YEARS OLD. They have to go through this nonsense ALL the time now just because they're too stupid to realize that a 3 year old is no threat. But hey they're muslim so who cares- damn subhumans.

hmmm

How about this is planned to bankrupt the airlines in the name of making us safe. Then they are the part of another bailout in the future that we have to pay for in the name of saving them. They save us we save them. We pay for new planes and technology. Seeing that half of our fleet of planes are getting quite old. Once again that is another place this Brilliant country has fallen last, Modern transportation.

"I have found that being rich is not about having the most but about needing the least"

Been there, done that!

Been there, done that! Remember the bailouts for airlines who were "done for" after 9/11? What did those criminals get, $20 billion? For nothing! Not to mention TEUC-A for all those airline workers who were "threatened with permanent job loss." But in reality, it was a big fraud and a total rip-off, nobody lost their jobs, and nobody ever asked the airlines to pay the money back when they scored record profits the next year.

False Flag

Yet another staged false flag designed to pull the net tighter around us. Keep reminding the frightened slaves that The Terrorists are still after us. Coincidentally, the "perpetrators" happen mostly to be dark skinned 'foreigners' -- Muslims, Nigerians. Yet everyone is targeted for OTT searches -- elderly women, 4 year old boys, girls with cats in carriers.

The more you question what you're told, the more lies that unfold. I don't believe one word the mainstream media reports any more, especially with so much ulterior motives for false flags and their fascist consequences.

I stopped flying some years ago. They can keep their

planes and so-called "security measures". I'll keep my money.

First

TSA is useless.
Second, this story doesn't surprise me on so many levels.
Last, not planning to take any flights until they wise up and allow pilots to protect their passengers and cargo.
Is it really that hard?

Might sound stupid

But a free market means if your customer service is crap
you don't do business, really as simple as that. DON'T FLY
MAKE THESE BASTARDS STAND AROUND BY THEMSELVES PLAYING WITH EACH OTHER. A little of that and this crap will change. Vote with your feet and STAY AWAY !!!!!!!! DAMN!!!

Just one last kick in the nuts, then a final deathblow

Follow the money

It is important to know that how quickly they implement these money making measures in the name of security. They are ready with the solutions before the problem surfaces - just like the shoe bomber incident. This means more airport equipment sales, more revenues to TSA more government controls. It is also important to know they never get into the details of the crime - just like 911. No one in TSA gets fired and no one becomes accountable.

Focus on auditing the Fed ... everything else is a distraction.

I am done flying except for

I am done flying except for family emergency's. Not to mention I don't want to find out the hard way my name is on thje "No Fly" list! lol

Excellent extrapolation of the facts. Though I will add that all of this is done to garner more control over the population - it is highly oppressive - keeping us in a state of constant fear.

A perpetuation of the same that was begun on 9/11/2001.

“The law cannot make a wicked person virtuous…God’s grace alone can accomplish such a thing.” Ron Paul - The Revolution

If you wanted to get

people to stop flying how would you do it? This makes sense if they want to stop people from flying. Maybe, this is a great way to bankrupt the airlines. Flying is not for peasants.

Prepare & Share the Message of Freedom through Positive-Peaceful-Activism.

The 'terrorists' are winning.

'They' have the totally lame Homeland Security, the totally lame TSA, and the totally f*ed-up American people so f*ing paranoid that they don't know whether to sh!t or go blind!

I am convinced

that we are being conditioned for something more, to mindlessly accept this kind of behavior as a matter of course, "in our own interest."

This is not good.

My theory.... as the economy

My theory....
as the economy collapses people will want to leave the USA. When people leave they will try to take their wealth with them. When people in hong kong fled they baught diamonds. They were easy to stash. So Yes I believe you are right. This gives the government that much more intrusiveness to search..

People aren't scared anymore. They're just getting more pissed off.

Planes are like flying prison cars...fuggetaboudit.

I wish someone would ask the question

How many Terrorists have the TSA caught trying to get on planes with explosives ? ?

The answer to that question

is too embarrassing for TSA (Thousands Standing Around).

This ensures that the only one to ask it will be Jon Stewart.
