TSA Screening and Molestation

We all want to be safe right? We all want to know that when we get onto a plane that our lives are in good hands, but don’t you think that it goes a little too far to have naked images of us taken in order to keep us safe? How about my children? My children travel a few times per year and I don’t want naked photos of them kept at anytime, nor do I want someone viewing them naked even in that moment. Wouldn’t that be called child pornography? Is it just me, or does this seem so bizarre? I’ve read reports that Americans think the TSA new screening and enhanced pat downs are a good idea. What? are you on crack? Why would you think that’s a good idea? Why would anyone think that’s a good idea? It violates us as humans on every level. Rape survivors for one could have a major problem with this type of procedure, which could trigger traumatic memories in him/her. Children who are taught at a young age about not letting others touch you in your private parts are now told to submit to a stranger touching them WHILE their parents watch. It takes away our rights as parents to protect our children from predators, which is MY GOD GIVEN RIGHT, it makes a man stand there and watch helplessly as another man touches his wife inappropriately and he can do nothing about it. It violates us, and we’ve been sold a bill of goods stating that this keeps us safe! Really?

Some may think, “what the fuck is the big deal? who cares woman! as long as we are safe!” Really? You think that is what keeps us safe? It doesn’t! As a matter of fact, we are more unsafe now because of such things. Why are we less safe? Well, lets start with the fact that we have NO PRIVACY! That’s right, no privacy, it is taken from us. How can a person feel safe if their very privacy has been violated? Ok so that’s not so bad right? You can always Opt Out of having that screening, and then ‘thank god’ all you have to do now is go through the enhanced pat down! Oh that makes me feel REALLY SAFE! It will make me feel extra secure knowing that if I opt out of the screening, that someone can molest me instead! Gee I feel so much better knowing that! Bullshit. Major bullshit, hot, steaming and smelling to the high heavens. But what if you wanted to opt out of both the advanced screening AND the pat down? Oh, well at the discretion of the TSA they can file a civil suit against you up to $11,000 for not cooperating as well as denying you the right to fly, even though you already paid for that ticket! That makes me feel SUPER safe, how about you? Don’t you see? You have no safety. There is no guarantee that these machines will keep us safe. Its a false sense of security. The only thing that these machines have done is line the pockets of those who sold them. That’s it.

Maybe it comes down to the voyeuristic nation that we have become. Personally I find it very creepy that others would be looking at me at the airport or groping me. Then again, that’s just me. I’m not fond of others watching me as though I were some sort of lab rat, or better yet as though I were a terrorist. LOL What’s the difference between the TSA stating that these things need to be done to us and to our children, and a pedophile in a car with an injured puppy asking a child for their help? To me, there is none! I’m sorry to have such strong opinion about these things (no I’m not sorry), but pedophilia is pedophilia whether it’s done by some disgusting deviant on the street that just got out of jail, or by a TSA officer touching my minor child or looking at his or her naked body. No DIFFERENCE! It is sexual assault, especially if you are not given a choice. What are your choices? Don’t fly. LOL Then that is the ONLY way you can maintain your safety 100%.
