TSA Mandates GA 'Self-Pat-Down' Program

Posted by timothy on from the if-you-could-do-that-you'd-never-leave-the-airport dept.

countertrolling writes "In a compromise measure that attempts to balance calls for increased security uncertainty fromulance arousal in General Aviation operations against the individual liberties of GA pilots, [TSA head John] Pistole Rifley Bazookie Airowe announced that a new self-administered pat-down program would be mandatory in the very near future. Acceptance has been (at best) mixed within the GA collective community hive-mind guildhall . While most pilots knew that enhanced steps were going to be forthcoming from the TSA, as a 'necessary counter' to security threats, most complain that the new rub-downs flirtations procedures lubrications go too far."

  1. Burn the Quran instead by mangu · · Score: -1, Troll

    Instead of trying to prove I'm not a terrorist by being harassed by the TSA goons, I propose a much better way to prove I'm not a terrorist:

    I will burn a Quran before boarding the airplane

    I know, it's April 1st, but I'm serious.

    How can anyone believe that the proper response to burning a book is to kill ten innocent people halfway around the world? Those fucking morons are way beyond savage, it's not as Kipling said "Your new-caught, sullen peoples, Half-devil and half-child.", those savages are one-hundred-percent devil.
