Reply #128: I am hurt for that woman and for the children and the men

[sabrina 1]

and other women who have been subjected to this abuse. The woman was clearly devastated, she was crying as any women so abused would be doing. To see her called 'stupid' because SHE was abused? Who would expect their own government to do this to her? That is what is upsetting.

I am devastated at the way the left has abandoned this fight against these policies, WHICH WE FOUGHT successfully under Bush for SIX YEARs, and it took a Democratic president to undo all that work and permit, no institute, since it is Janet Napolitano who is responsbible for putting those machines in place, these vile policies, and then to tell the public he is sorry, but that's the way it is?? While he admits that his own family will never be subjected to these abuses.

What kind of man or woman would allow these abuses against the elderly, the disabled, children, women, men?? I have lost all respect for the man. And for anyone who attempts to excuse this.

And no, we do NOT have to go through this in order to fly. We can do what the pilots did, what the 'don't touch my junk' guy did, and others, and simply refuse and make a fuss, and call the police at the airport, and then sue. Anything rather than act like sheep with no will of our own.

A general strike against those machines just for one day, would end these vile disgusting, abusive policies. And no, it would NOT mean privatizing them. It would mean no matter who is in charge of them, so long as they are at the airport, people will not fly.

Several lawsuits are now filed against the TSA and I hope there will be many, many more. I don't know what happened to this country. Are people really so easily scared into giving up all of their rights? I find THAT to be frightening, because when they give up their rights, they are giving up all of our rights. That frightens me far more than the minute possibility of dying by a terror attack.
