for our ever-vigilant friends at that stellar brain trust we like to refer to as the Transportation Safety Administration!

exercise them daily!

Found here, via LeeAnn’s:

A new line of clothing for flyers features the 4th Amendment printed in metallic ink!

There are also kid’s clothes printed “Read the 4th Amendment, perverts!”
Love it.

Rocky Flats Gear also sports a line of underwear to protect your nether regions from radiation and prying eyes. I like the fig leaf design; very biblical. >;-D

has been clear from the start. They are completely and totally inept.

And we have numbfucks like Norman Minetta and his asinine comparisons to thank for it:

Not to try to single out young males with these characteristics for extra attention — more extensive searches and questioning — is folly. It ignores, among other things, the successful Israeli experience securing El Al from attacks.

But adopting something along the lines of the Israeli system would require a tough-mindedness, and instead of tough-mindedness, we have Norm Mineta. On the issue of profiling, Mineta’s ignorance appears to be nearly invincible.

Mineta’s Japanese-American family was interned during World War II. He implies at every opportunity that by standing in the way of ethnic profiling, he is preventing a similar enormity today. “A very basic foundation to all of our work,” he says, “is to make sure that racial profiling is not part of it.”

Instead of all the bullshit we are subjected to now post-9/11, we should have taken a cue from the Israelis and El Al right from the start. But what the fuck do they know?

Personally, I think letting the TSA grope and probe the First Family is a splendid idea.
