Now how is grandma goint to travel without fear of being body-slammed or strip-searched (unless, of course, she is wearing a burqa, in which case she will be escorted around the detectors by armed guards protecting her 'privacy')?

Only Ron Paul is offering deliverance from this tyranny.

Either she submits to being classified as a potential threat, thereby meaning that TSA has probable cause against everyone traveling, and thereby submits to search for the simple decision of using public transportation, or....

(unless, of course, she is wearing a burqa, in which case she will be escorted around the detectors by armed guards protecting her 'privacy')?

...or give this a try. Seems to work in the airports.

Hey -- how come it is that when I go into a doctor's examination room, I see a sign that says I have a right to have a chaperone of my choice present...but if TSA wants to search me, that doesn't apply?

I hope everyone realizes that despite my facetiousness, I'm serious about this subject. In order to travel, you must admit to being a (potential) criminal.

Bureaucracies are like viruses, slowly infecting everything.
