The Death of Common Sense

By now you have likely heard the story of the 95 year old, Florida women; stricken with cancer, who was forced to remove her adult diaper while being searched by the Transportation Security Administration.

The TSA continued to remain common sense free and chose to defend the actions of its security goons, releasing the following statement about the incident: "While every person and item must be screened before entering the secure boarding area, TSA works with passengers to resolve security alarms in a respectful and sensitive manner," the federal agency said. "We have reviewed the circumstances involving this screening and determined that our officers acted professionally and according to proper procedure."

The fact that these clowns chose to duck behind “procedure” shows exactly how weak minded the leadership of this bunch really is. This really isn’t brain surgery; it boils down to one very easy to answer question: “How many elderly, wheelchair bound women (or men) have attempted to commit a terrorist attack on a U.S. airliner?” We can even go as far as extending the question to include: babies, small children, and tweens.
The answer, if you have been paying even a little attention, is easy. None. Zip. Zero. Zilch. Nada. So why in the name of common sense do these drooling morons continue to step in soiled adult diapers with an ongoing string of ridiculous, misguided, public relations nightmares? Then rather than seeing and stating that they are wrong, they vainly try to defend their stupidity offering up an empty defense like procedure!
Even more amazing is the media’s willingness to run these stories, but make no ultimate stand and demand that this ridiculousness STOP! Yet if a Muslim cries mistreatment, religious profiling, or the need for religious privacy; for burqa wearing women, the media jumps in with both feet and the TSA is cowed into giving them a free pass at security check points.
It’s time for the American people to step up and demand that this ridiculous abuse of our freedom be stopped in its tracks. In it’s nearly ten year existence, the TSA has not prevented one terrorist attack, it’s long past time to end this bloated government bureaucracy and allow the private sector to take over airport security.
