The very idea that an American could defend them selves with out the government terrifies the left. That is why Palin terrifies them. The left is afraid Palin might convince others that they can learn to survive without the government holding their hand 24/7. <br />IMO, The Obama administration is not going to let the TSA back down.lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05329025378677523718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-88027790255858149852010-11-22T13:06:21.702-05:002010-11-22T13:06:21.702-05:00We tried calling our airport to ask if they would ...We tried calling our airport to ask if they would consider privatizing security, as we will now be driving whenever possible, rather than flying. You cannot speak to a live person, nor leave a message. We spoke with the Airport Visitor's Center and were told we were "wasting breath" talking to them. Tried calling USAir, but you cannot speak to a live person with a comment; you have to send email. Tried to email, but you must have specific flight info in order to email. So, there is no way to actually speak to someone at our local airport or major airline. USAir rep agreed that there is no way to leave a comment other than about a specific flight.DavidsonGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07916703010402808300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-39287790163183975942010-11-22T12:15:58.851-05:002010-11-22T12:15:58.851-05:00When I read the title of the post I had to laugh o...When I read the title of the post I had to laugh out loud, I was only in second grade when the first Gulf War occurred and even I know who Baghdad Bob is.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042717342913703372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-12164521328338887632010-11-22T11:48:49.728-05:002010-11-22T11:48:49.728-05:00The Left has won.

There are people on both sides defending and deriding the TSA.<br /><br />No one who knows me would ever accuse me of being a liberal. I'm a 2nd Amendment, Pro-Life, Repeal Obamacare, Never voted for a Democrat in his life (and never will) conservative. <br /><br />I gave the reasons I think the military story is fake. There is no evidence that the story is true. The only report is from Redstate. I think the person that posted it was lied to.<br /><br />Now, there is evidence that this is a story from 2004, and at that point fingernail clippers were prohibited, so it might be from then. But then we still have the problem of military personnel carrying weapons on board a commercial flight, or TSA screening a military/charter flight, neither of which happens.alSeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15059179169575457244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-44399383582695161612010-11-22T11:14:06.475-05:002010-11-22T11:14:06.475-05:00"It's like the recent military story wher..."It's like the recent military story where the soldier had his fingernail clippers taken away.

My husband has had fingernail clippers and cigar clippers confiscated, while wearing both uniform and civvies. Not fake.<br /><br />I'm surprised he didn't get arrested for the manner in which he communicated his disdain. (e.g., "So, I'm supposed to ask the pilot to insert his finger so I can subdue him and seize control of the plane?!?!" Senior officers tend to get a little snippy when their integrity is impugned.)<br /><br />The woman waving the next "customer" through the scanner wore such a welcoming and charming expression, no?
