WTF, As soon as I post one story concerning the TSA, a new one pops up.

 

TSA superviser also supervises prostitution.

More ammo for why they need to be disbanded

Heck with the TSA, the French Lingerie models in the Paris Musee sidebar immediately distracted me from the article http://www.myfoxdc.c...e-stunt-011212. One thing I noticed, they're awfully skinny and the blue one's bottoms ride quite high. I've got to say, I've been to that particular Museum, Musee D'orsay and never saw that! (Seen here:

)

while you can all easily come to the conclusion that I know TSA is scum and needs to be disbanded. I personally would not use this as one of the reasons. There is no reason that prostitution should be illegal. It is going to happen no matter what, so all we are doing itmaking it unsafe and loosing tax revenue off of it.

While I understand your point, I will have to disagree that this should not be used as one of the reasons. The TSA keeps saying that they hold their agents to high standards and that they're the "last line of defense" as stated by the head of our homeland security.

 

Not only is it a hypocrisy and a tremendous waste of taxpayers dollars, it also poses a serious risk since such TSA officers are too busy thinking of ways to break the law instead of focusing to keep the airways safe.

 

So, if you have a loved one that's about to board a plane, please don't tell me that you'll entrust their safety to a pimp daddy with a shiny badge.

+1 for liking freedom! If they wanna get payed to screw then let them.

 

I think it should be regulated though, I would like to be the first to apply as an inspector.

Whatever your view on the morality of prostitution, it is currently illegal in the majority of states. While it is illegal, anyone who is in a position of power, authority or security and participates in it is vulnerable to coercion and blackmail.

It is illegal under the supreme law of the land for the government to infringe my ability to keep weapons, but they do. Does that mean they are vulnerable to coercion and blackmail as well? Legal, illegal...it's all a gray area these days.

Read this on FB and thought it was a good story to share.

As the Chalk Leader for my flight home from Afghanistan, I witnessed the following:

 

When we were on our way back from Afghanistan, we flew out of Baghram Air Field. We went through customs at BAF, full body scanners (no groping), had all of our bags searched, the whole nine yards. Our first stop was Shannon, Ireland to refuel. After that, we had to stop at Indianapolis, Indiana to drop off about ...100 folks from the Indiana National Guard. That's where the stupid started.

First, everyone was forced to get off the plane-even though the plane wasn't refueling again. All 330 people got off that plane, rather than let the 100 people from the ING get off. We were filed from the plane to a holding area. No vending machines, no means of escape. Only a male/female latrine.

 

It's probably important to mention that we were ALL carrying weapons. Everyone was carrying an M4 Carbine (rifle) and some, like me, were also carrying an M9 pistol. Oh, and our gunners had M-240B machine guns. Of course, the weapons weren't loaded. And we had been cleared of all ammo well before we even got to customs at Baghram, then AGAIN at customs.

 

The TSA personnel at the airport seriously considered making us unload all of the baggage from the SECURE cargo hold to have it re-inspected. Keep in mind, this cargo had been unpacked, inspected piece by piece by U.S. Customs officials, resealed and had bomb-sniffing dogs give it a one-hour run through. After two hours of sitting in this holding area, the TSA decided not to re-inspect our Cargo-just to inspect us again: Soldiers on the way home from war, who had already been inspected, re-inspected and kept in a SECURE holding area for 2 hours. Ok, whatever. So we lined up to go through security AGAIN.

 

This is probably another good time to remind you all that all of us were carrying actual assault rifles, and some of us were also carrying pistols.

 

So we're in line, going through one at a time. One of our Soldiers had his Gerber multi-tool. TSA confiscated it. Kind of ridiculous, but it gets better. A few minutes later, a guy empties his pockets and has a pair of nail clippers. Nail clippers. TSA informs the Soldier that they're going to confiscate his nail clippers.

 

The conversation went something like this:

TSA Guy: You can't take those on the plane.

Soldier: What? I've had them since we left country.

TSA Guy: You're not suppose to have them.

Soldier: Why?

TSA Guy: They can be used as a weapon.

Soldier: [touches butt stock of the rifle] But this actually is a weapon. And I'm allowed to take it on.

TSA Guy: Yeah but you can't use it to take over the plane. You don't have bullets.

Soldier: And I can take over the plane with nail clippers?

TSA Guy: [awkward silence]

Me: Dude, just give him your F**K**G nail clippers so we can get the F**K out of here. I'll buy you a new set.

Soldier: [hands nail clippers to TSA guy, makes it through security]

 

To top it off, the TSA demanded we all be swabbed for "explosive residue" detection. Everyone failed, [go figure, we just came home from a war zone], because we tested positive for "Gun Powder Residue". Who the Hell is hiring these people?

 

This might be a good time to remind everyone that approximately 233 people re-boarded that plane with assault rifles, pistols, and machine guns-but nothing that could have been used as a weapon.

 

Can someone please tell me What the hell happened to OUR country while we were gone?

Sgt. Mad Dog Tracy

Pretty interesting, except "nail clippers" have been allowed for years now. Nail clippers with a blade within are not. Is that what the TSA was referring to?

 

Minor point, I guess, with all of the other strange things brought up in this post. Maybe this FB posting is just dated a few years back? Returning military personnel should just be allowed to skirt the whole screening process, IMO.

This story IS NOT TRUE and is a common Internet rumor. Please research before posting random crap from FB, etc...
