Answer, never, because he actually is working toward creating his HopeyChangeySociety where anyone, anywhere can be 'patted down', i.e. groped and violated by any agency He designates. When anyone dare record the event, and publicize it, they become targets of intimidation by thugs. The gropers are doing His bidding, creating an atmosphere where any and all understand that they have no expectation of privacy. They are just grooming the targets for more violations later.
John Pistole, that paragon of courage, was on every morning news show trying to spin this thing to Kingdom Come, with Washington jargon about 'flexibility', 're-examining procedures', etc.
Remember, he's a Jargonista, one who views language as nothing more than noises to be made in order to get one's way. Words do not have intrinsic meaning, and individuals have no intrinsic dignity. This is the same guy who, in very blunt language before a Congressional committee declared last week that this is going to be the policy, and no one will change it. Those words, he meant. He just assumed nobody was paying attention last week.
This week, the HopeyChangies discovered people are in fact, well, paying attention. And posting incidents like the following, a strip-search of an eight-year-old boy in Salt Lake City, who did not set off a scanner alarm, and who understandably was reluctant to have a stranger grope his private parts. That made him suspect in the minds of the agents of the TSA.
Sickos.
This was posted by the college student who witnessed the incident, and made the video. Read his description of the incident, and the attempts to intimidate him in the wake of his recording of the outrage.
This is our future, unless we stand up and scream NO NO NO. Never.
Not me. Not my spouse. Not my aged parents. Not cancer patients with ostomy bags, who are left soaking in their own urine, without aid or apology. Not breast cancer survivors, with surgical wounds still healing (like a good friend of OS's, who won't likely be flying and taking that risk.)
And certainly not my children.
NO.
What part of NO does that narcissist in the White House not understand?
TSA claims this is preventing another 'underwear bomber attack'. Not, it's not. It's about refusing to do realistic, hard work, to keep known dangerous people off flights. The Underwear Bomber had warning flags all over him. His own father had contacted US authorities at a high level to warn them his son had become a jihadist. He flew from Africa, paying cash for his ticket. In the interests of political correctness, the authorities refused to question him and search him.
That's what happened. The Obama Adminisitration are now using it as a pretext to crack down on the culture, to make it as unfree as possible, as quickly as possible.
Letterman's Top 10 list tonight covered this scandal, and it was devastatingly funny. OS will find and post it as soon as possible. One earlier joke in the evening, though, said much: The TSA is getting so many complaints about their agents groping children, that they've begun transferring them to other parishes.
That about says it.
There is so much more to say. But it's late.
Tell your friends, call your Congressman, tell the airlines you'll be driving instead.
