No Pat Down Feel Up for John Boehner ~ He just smiles and gets the TSA escort

Fri Nov 19, 2010 7:23 PM EST
politics, boehner, pat-down, tsa-butt-probe, prison-style, feel-up
By Acapulco Kevin

John Boehner's sister in the bar that John and his family grew up in and work in. What kind of people hang out in bars every single day? Think about it.

John Boehner shouldn't be searched but this old woman needs a boob massage? Imagine that.

Needs to be butt probed, x-rayed and given a prison style pat-down feel-up from the biggest, ugliest TSA guard.

The New York Times reported "As he left Washington on Friday, Mr. Boehner headed across the Potomac River to Reagan National Airport, which was bustling with afternoon travelers. But there was no waiting in line for Mr. Boehner, who was escorted around the metal detectors and body scanners, and taken directly to the gate."

Airline pilots have been getting screened by the TSA. Old ladies obviously not terrorists get the "pat down feel up" but John Boehner just walks on by.

Who feels your nutsack before you fly your own airplane? If terrorists were going to bomb us they would just buy personal planes and dive bomb targets. How freaking smart does an idiot have to be to pull off bad stuff and stupid @!$%#?

They haven't been doing it. And we are not safer because George Bush and his crew added dozens of overlapping intelligence services. the "underwear bomber" made a dramatic final call to his father that he found so alarming, the father approached Nigerian officials who took him directly to the CIA's station chief in the Nigerian capital. They were warned several times and not one of the overlapping spy groups managed to keep him off an airplane.

I do not believe the USA is under such imminent threat from terrorists. We were just fine before 9-11. You don't think it is really easy for people to launch nukes at the USA? No matter how safe you think you are ~ YOU ARE NO SAFER. And you are no less safe then you were on September 10, 2001. I was there then and many years before and I am here with all of you now.

Boo! Did I scare you?

I really don't care that Boehner walked on by the scanners and I don't think you or I should be treated any differently. No one should be subjected to molestation by the Government and being irradiated should not be an option.

I do feel that if anyone should be getting mandatory screening it is a public servant. Drug dealers are moving a lot of dope and cash, how many are politicians?

John Boehner was handing out checks on the house floor to buy votes and probably needs to be butt probed, x-rayed and given a prison style pat-down feel-up from the biggest, ugliest TSA guard.

If he isn't going to be searched you sure as hell shouldn't be.

Boehner is a boner that is obvious. I don't think politicians should be treated any differently and unless you are the president you should be required to fly on commercial airlines just like the rest of us.

Politicians are being busted for illegal activities all the time. They can't be trusted any more than any other American human. Anal probe and scan them all.

It just proves that those elected Teapublicans believe they are above the real Americans. I wish all the voting Teapublicans would have to watch him walk through while they wait to get their "Junk" fondled.

I would amend that to say that they can't be trusted as much as any other American human.

Let's dispel with partisan slant and cut to the raw fact. This demonstrates that there is a deliniation between the ruling class and the rest of us. The ruling class is not just republican, Harry Ried would get similar treatment. I would like to see a politician at a minimum show solidarity by insisting on being treated like anyone else, or ideally take up this issue on the floor and get this trend stopped and rolled back. I don't expect any will, though, why would they?

The sexual mollestation of our citizens in the name of security is the lightheaded parakeet in the coalmine. When the patriot act was enacted and the erosion of our liberties ratcheted up, institutionalized, and pursued with reckless enthusiasm in an overt way unseen before, civil libertarians speculated how it would go down. Now, we are coming to a focal point. When the government officially, physically, and symbolically "breaks the plane" by actually putting their hands on you in this manner, on children even, we are at a tipping point.

With all that is going on, it's hard to prioritize, but this one should shoot to the top. Joblessness, yes, desructive fiscal policy and mounting debt, certainly, but this is the revokation of liberty, the loss of the soverignty of your body. There's little left after that. Your mind often goes first as demonstrated by those that dutifully line up to be x-rayed or felt up.

If this battle is lost, the war for our liberty is lost. From here on in it will be defeat after crushing defeat and the best we can hope to do is slow the march to a repressive police state. This is the big battle and it must be won. Government must be pushed back on this issue and I am not confident it's possible. If the sight of little kids getting touched and traumatized in the same manner that a child mollester would, the only difference being by direction and under the umbrella of state authority cannot wake up America, we are absolutely, unequivocally and totally screwed.

If he was a Democrat I would call a spade a spade.

It is what it is and John Boehner is a lobby dollar back handed buy the vote deal man. A perfect example of someone needing a good scanning, public rub down feel up and a cavity search.

I like this article. I hope you do too. Cheers.

Once the members of our corrupt Congress start to feel less entitled, start to feel what their constituents go through, there might be hope, but I'm not holding my breath.

well this what those libs wished for when they sssoooo objected to profiling....now we have to treat everyone equally and pat down kids and grandmas because we are not wanting to admit that the terrorist plane bombers have ALL been young ARAB men....not one grandma, pilot, stewardess, kid or congress person has attempted to strap a bomb onto his crotch or shoe.....

as far as boehner not getting the " TSA treatment ", it is ludicrous for us to think that he would NEED too..or that pelosi NEEDS to by pass it by flying in her taxpayer air force jet filled with booze.....time for some common sense in all this...yah politicians feel that they are the ruling class and all us "enemies, tea partiers, astro turfers, and taxpayers, freeloaders, and voters" should be subjects......but don't just call out boehner, the dems have been doing it quite freely also...pelosi NEEDS her plane because ______?

Well, you know he is a higher human being, as he was created with a more advanced formula than the rest of us, something about the refined cell structure fueled by a colorless liquid produced by fermentation of sugar and starch – way up there in the hydroxyl category, and all.

Apparently Boehner is safer than the rest of Americans.

It is far more preferred for the United States TSA and the police to harass and beat up on women.

(A longtime minister's wife and mother of an American soldier that served for 20+ years teaching Sunday School and other various and in very safe community groups, student of the law and other critically unimportant things like that)

(Sarcasm - but who cares)

Rock on, America.

Maybe he can just go back to the expensive corporate Air Force Jet Nancy has to avoid the pat downs.

You do realize that universal cavity searches for all is the result of the Liberal agenda to NOT profile likely suspects. Since we are all "created equal", we all get the cavity search.

You voted for policies like this. Take it like you own it.
