Mick Jagger approved.

h/t the notion of the Gadsen - Junk mixup to Dan Collins, who asks, "Would you allow Mary Katherine Ham to touch your junk?"




Why, sure! But not whilst standing in line to board a sealed, airtight aluminum cylinder. Can't we find a bunk?

Just don't fly. It's that simple, Americans! Starve the junk-fondling beast, TSA. If we stop flying, the airports will opt to bring in private security, booting out Janet Renapolitano's thugs. We shrink government AND boost the private sector; what's wrong with that?

John Galt doesn't fly American anymore.

UPDATE: Colorized. Which is better ?

John Pistole, Janet Napolitano's right-hand 'man' in charge of the TSA, has submitted to a full-body scan and released the image to me. Says Pistole...'There's nothing wrong with this new backscatter scan. As you can see, it's somewhat flattering; we'll start selling these to our customers as an option after they pass through my airports, much like some high-speed roller coaster operators do. It'll help defray the costs of prosecuting non-compliant sorts like this San Deigo terrorist John Tyner, likely.'



Here's John Pistole's newly-released full body scan.


When I asked Janet Napolitano to send me her full-body scan, she declined, saying 'Oh, that's just for the little people. We high-level sorts will never need to go through those dangerous machines. Rules are for you, tiny person, not for me.'

She hadn't seen John Pistole's scan at the time, obviously.

Over the top. The TSA, as commanded by Janet Reno Janet Napolitano, has gone too damned far. There's a palpable resistance forming against the groping and harassing and just plain un-American scanning and grab-assery these thugs are conducting at airports today. This report from San Deigo...

A male agent (it was a female who had directed me to the backscatter machine in the first place), came and waited for me to get my bags and then directed me over to the far corner of the area for screening. After setting my things on a table, he turned to me and began to explain that he was going to do a "standard" pat down. (I thought to myself, "great, not one of those gropings like I've been reading about".) After he described, the pat down, I realized that he intended to touch my groin. After he finished his description but before he started the pat down, I looked him straight in the eye and said, "if you touch my junk, I'll have you arrested." He, a bit taken aback, informed me that he would have to involve his supervisor because of my comment.

Read the rest of that entry, that has amassed 2500 plus comments as of this morning.

We Won't Fly dot com.
...

The Plan is Simple

1. If you absolutely, positively must fly, opt out of the scanners. Do it to protect your health and privacy.
2. If you can avoid flying, don’t fly. Hit the airlines in the pocketbook until the scanners and gropers are gone. Make the airlines work for us.
3. Raise holy hell. Register your disapproval of the scanners and gropers to your airline, your hotel and all government officials who claim to work for you. Educate your community.

Let's make this as noisy as possible, shall we? Because Janet Napolitano, and her controller Obama, are just damned wrong and stupid to subject Americans to this nonsense when who we are looking for is obvious, but protected by our own political correctness. We are looking for young Muslim men ages 17-40, period. Anyone else is likely exempt.

So, make your voice heard. Stop this madness, stop the Napolitano - Obama thugs in the TSA.

Tough choices. You leave your impoverished but beloved homeland to come to the United States, where you have an opportunity to work harder than many of the overly-privileged US citizens want to work, for less money than those citizens will get out of bed and turn off the TV for. All is fine until the jobs dry up, and those US citizens who didn't want work suddenly do. Oh, and the cross-border drug runners mess up the good thing: they bring unwanted crime, murder and mahem, drug lord despotism. And the migrating hordes despoil the terrain. Oh, and don't forget the Aztlan, MEChA and LaRaza movements, groups desirous of reconquista...

1) We are Chicanas and Chicanos of Aztlán reclaiming the land of our birth (Chicana/Chicano Nation);

2) Aztlán belongs to indigenous people, who are sovereign and not subject to a foreign culture;

3) We are a union of free pueblos forming a bronze (Chicana/Chicano) Nation;

4) Chicano nationalism, as the key to mobilization and organization, is the common denominator to bring consensus to the Chicana/Chicano Movement;

5) Cultural values strengthen our identity as La Familia de La Raza; and

6) EPA, as a basic plan of Chicana/Chicano liberation, sought the formation of an independent national political party that would represent the sentiments of the Chicana/Chicano community.

Now, the Hispanic community is galvanized by Arizona's daring move to usurp the power of the Obama administration, Governor Jan Brewer was forced to sign the bill into law because Obama and his DHS chief, Janet Napolitano, have had ample opportunities to defend the borders of the very state where Napolitano was once governor, but no! there were other pressing issues that came first: healthcare, climate change &c. Defending the borders of this county, hah! What, do you think that's in the constitution or something? Meanwhile, Phoenix became the Kidnapping Capitol of the United States.

Democrats and leftists are seizing this opportunity to decry Governor Jan Brewer's desire for law and order. San Francisco, the "Sanctuary City" that isn't, is calling for a boycott. They also smell votes, these Democrats; the illegal aliens, if given the vote, will naturally vote Social Democrat. Not that they are moochers, hell no, and I'll bet most Hispanics aren't default criminals, but you know the stick-carrot routine. The moocher - looter attractant scent is the natural lure for our modern far-left Democrats.

May 1, May Day, is a worldwide socialist holiday. Naturally, these sorts will join with the inflamed aliens and all will come out to protest and demand; you'll see Mexico's flags, but not Mexico's stringent laws. 

Obama has a golden opportunity to run with whatever he can get using Rham's Corollary. I remind you that we are facing a foe skilled in the Alinsky methodologies, and Rule #8 is “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Which means, if it seems we’re getting traction with laser-like focus on, say, financial issues, then the focus will change; because of Rule #7 “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”. It takes only a news headline to defocus to another, foe-friendlier, topic; using the Rham Corollary “Never let a serious crisis go to waste.” A good right-now example is this passage of Arizona's illegal roundup law. We see Global Warmalism (a weakening issue for Obama) tabled and his next moocher-vote-attractor “Immigration Reform” come to the forefront.

At best, we'll get reform. Democrats will get more voters. At worst, we lose ground.

This, seen at protein wisdom, is illustrative of Games Presidents Play and the Consequences of Poor Choices. Darleen Click...

To expand, I suspect that Barack Obama, child of privilege and born “black” into a left-dominated culture that fetishized him, grew up feeling entitled to his good fortune, regardless of real effort. His whole life he has had people scrambling to do for him, to see him as “the first black [fill in]” so as to be able to say to themselves “see what I did? I helped achieve this so I’m proving I’m not racist.”

Obama wanted healthcare “reform” but handed it off to Pelosi and Reid. Indeed, he bristled at any dissent, so much so, he cut off communication with Republicans on the issue last March. “I Won” Obama feels entitled to unquestioned deference — along with media facetime on his terms and whims. Just let him eat his waffle or make his tee time.

Abdulmutallab shouldn't have assumed a seat on any commercial flight, especially one bound for Detroit from Amsterdam, given the warning signs he had displayed. We knew this kid was trouble. Wheels didn't turn; people didn't act. Top Management must pay for this.

Janet Reno Napolitano should go. Today would be just fine, Janet, for a nice resignation letter. Or, if Barry has the ballz, a (fuzzy?) cowboy boot to your ass.

Dick Cheney...

"As I’ve watched the events of the last few days it is clear once again that President Obama is trying to pretend we are not at war. He seems to think if he has a low key response to an attempt to blow up an airliner and kill hundreds of people, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if he gives terrorists the rights of Americans, lets them lawyer up and reads them their Miranda rights, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if we bring the mastermind of 9/11 to New York, give him a lawyer and trial in civilian court, we won’t be at war.

“He seems to think if he closes Guantanamo and releases the hard-core al Qaeda trained terrorists still there, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if he gets rid of the words, ‘war on terror,’ we won’t be at war. But we are at war and when President Obama pretends we aren’t, it makes us less safe. Why doesn’t he want to admit we’re at war? It doesn’t fit with the view of the world he brought with him to the Oval Office. It doesn’t fit with what seems to be the goal of his presidency – social transformation—the restructuring of American society. President Obama’s first object and his highest responsibility must be to defend us against an enemy that knows we are at war." [emboldenings mine]

Good to hear from a real man, one who knows what's needed.

Listen up, Barry. You're supposed to take charge, make the right decisions, have the buck stop at your desk. A good start would be booting Napolitano.

Or yourself.
