Fascistic TSA another reason to reject public transportation
The more I see government abuse of our civil rights, the more I think the citizenry should reject all forms off mass transit and public transportation. Walk, ride a bike, or drive your private vehicle. The more dependent we become on mass transit the more control the fascistic buffoons have over us.

1. The TSA is not government transit, mass transit, or any kind of transit...
The Transporation Security Administration are the group in charge of security.

We do not have any form of mass public air transit.

So I am not sure why you are taking this stand, since it doesn't exist.

2. Have they been doing gropedowns on busses and trains?
I will protest to Continental (my airline of choice) that they can forget me taking any trips on their airline until the hysteria can be brought under control.

7. Good luck when the oil runs out.
Mass transit is a matter of survival. There are no energy alternatives fully capable of replacing fossil fuels as they decline (which they are already doing); so to have a society anywhere approaching what we currently have, we must become much more efficient at our transportation, and we can't do that without some form of mass transit. Rejecting public transit because of privacy violating TSA searches is cutting off your nose to spite your face. We can fight these measures without giving up a critical element of our successful adaptation to a lower energy future.

8. LOL

Is this a contest to see how many stupid ideas can be piggybacked onto the TSA procedures?

Stay off of those fascistic government roads. Lol

9. This isn't public transit and, if we had decent national public transit, i.e. actual cross country
bullet trains, we'd all be better off.

12. First you'd have to make your own private roads, unless you mean use those fascist public ones?
Good grief. Things are really reaching here.
