Janet Napolitano Asks for Patience, Cooperation While TSA ‘Touches Your Junk’

In an editorial for USA Today, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano defended new airport security measures, just as pat-downs have come under attack via a viral video of a man refusing to have his “junk” (or his John Pistole, if you will) touched by TSA officers. Napolitano assured travelers that the new Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) units are safe and secure, and described pat-down measures for those who refuse AIT scans. According to Matt Drudge, this means “The Terrorists Have Won!”

To follow up, Napolitano also held a press conference this morning to answer questions about the policies. Video after the jump.

Here’s a clip of the press conference, in which Napolitano underscores much of what’s in her USA Today piece:

Oh, I get it. I'm only posting this because she's a Democrat. If this were Chertoff, and Bush or some GOP were President, I'd be defending the move as an regrettable but prudent move, blaming the war on terror and bad mouthing certain Muslims.


Seriously, who's totally o.k. with any of this ?


Think, before you post.

Matt Drudge uses a 7 year old complaint about our anti-terror policy...just now? He's really on top of it.

I remember when Maher has Napolitono on to talk about this sort of thing, not long after the election.

I didn't like anything she had to say on the issue then either. She is certainly more of the same...a politically safe choice for Obama to cling to the new status quo, so that he couldn't be attacked for being soft or flippant on terror...

his appointments certainly don't represent any of his shining moments.

I had no idea Napolitano was Catholic. Or a priest.

They ask for your patience and cooperation while they touch your junk, too.

I'm seriously NOT okay with this. What's the message it sends our kids? "Don't let a stranger touch you there - unless he's wearing a uniform, or you're in an airport, or he threatens you."

Janet would love to be frisked by a "Bull Dike" named Spike that kick starts her vibrator.

I started a thread with that point not too long ago. What are we teaching our kids? "You need to be molested, because Mommy needs to go on a trip. So please just stand there and take it. It will only be a few minutes."

While you're waiting, you can read this book, ok, honey?:

Looks like it's a movement that's picking up support.

Quote:


Wednesday, November 24, 2010 is NATIONAL OPT-OUT DAY!

It's the day ordinary citizens stand up for their rights, stand up for liberty, and protest the federal government's desire to virtually strip us naked or submit to an "enhanced pat down" that touches people's breasts and genitals in an aggressive manner. You should never have to explain to your children, "Remember that no stranger can touch or see your private area, unless it's a government employee, then it's OK."

The goal of National Opt Out Day is to send a message to our lawmakers that we demand change. We have a right to privacy and buying a plane ticket should not mean that we're guilty until proven innocent. This day is needed because many people do not understand what they consent to when choosing to fly.

Yesterday, radio talk show hosts Neal Boortz and Mike Gallagher both dedicated a good portion of their shows on this issue.


Neal Boortz, who is a self confessed avionics fanatic, as well as an accomplished pilot himself, is continuing the rant today.

The complete disconnect by the TPTB in D.C., regardless of political party, over what the rest of the country wants or is saying, continues to bewilder and baffle.

Remember what we were told, during the formation of the the TSA - "You don't professionalize, unless you federalize "


This is GOVERNMENT. The very folks some think can save our planet and give us FANTASTIC healthcare.

folks, wake up.

If you don't want to be felt up, then go through the machine. What's the big deal?
