And people were outraged, then it became status quo. Now getting fondled by the TSA is passively accepted and hardly anyone writes about it anymore.

- sorcerer-mar 2y agoPerhaps because people can understand the difference between a pat-down and "fondling" and the role that it plays in maintaining physical security of literally every secure location on earth. They're upset about this because, likewise, they understand the role that "hassle and detain people who disagree with Dear Leader" plays in literally every autocracy on earth.
- ty6853 2y agoAh but you don't understand the role this plays in maintaining physical security of literally every secure location on earth, comrade.
- sorcerer-mar 2y agoThe thing about due process rights is that even actual terrorists who openly admit to terrorism get them :) Under the Constitution, it's during due process where the state must prove "the role this plays in maintaining physical security."
- ty6853 2y agoDue process is what, government systematically searching everyone flying internally (often referring large cash for seizure by DEA etc) in the US without due process describing the alleged offense and the items being searched? Americans are frogs being cooked.
- sorcerer-mar 2y agoYou can fly internally without going through TSA whenever you want!
- ty6853 2y agoI guess I should be honored someone made a burner account just to reply these sorts of rebuttals to me while smily facing about terrorists on an article about someone who seems much closer to a benign backpacker.
- sorcerer-mar 2y agoWhat does this even mean?

- ty6853 2y agoI was chained by malicious CBP officers, and much worse, and not only that I am in debt for it. Maybe it influenced me. The very thought of this happening to benign tourists makes me upset. I don't think anyone should be in a good mood reading this.
