How to Shorten Your TSA Rub Down

November 20, 2010November 22, 2010 John 9-11, 9/11, hijacking, Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff, Pat Downs, Rub downs, Security, TSA, x-rays

Finally people seem to be waking to the ridiculousness of the TSA’s “security theater” at the airport gates, just not before Micheal Chertoff, former head of Homeland Security, got to sock away a nice retirement package from selling us taxpayers the bogus x-ray machines. Don’t want to go through those, then get yourself a rub down from a TSA agent, but I’ve found a way to get through the rub down pretty fast.

November 16, 2010November 17, 2010 John AFTAH, Groping, Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, Pat-Down, Peter LaBarbera, Porno Pete, same-gender, TSA

As I picked up my rental car here at Dulles Airport Monday morning, Janet Napolitano, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, was on C-Span Radio trying to defend TSA’s ridiculous and overly intrusive pat downs and use of the prono-x-ray machines. I noticed she kept talking about people who opt out of the backscatter machines can get a “same-gender” pat down. She kept saying “same-gender” over and over.

New Poll at Deep Sand-The 60 Vote Requirement

March 20, 2010March 20, 2010 John Cloture, Filibuster, Poll, U S Senate

As most of you know, the United States Senate has a cloture rule which requires at least 60 votes to end debate to then vote up or down on the bill itself. It is important to note that the Constitution says nothing about the rules of the Senate, and does not require such a super-majority. Should the rule be modified to require a lower threshold for cloture, or eliminated all together? Tell us what you think in our poll.
