It's been coming since the coining of the phrase 'politically correct.'

My daughter and her family just visited and they had to go through the scan and body search and it was very demeaning. That *has* to be against the Constitution. What's next? Cavity searches? When is enough enough? What are we doing? Dave |

Dave My understanding is that it is an either/or situation. IE, IF you choose NOT to do the body scan, THEN you must get the pat down. One or the other, no exceptions, or you do not fly. It may be that something different is happening at Logan. Security there certainly has had its problems over the years. I will be coming and going out of there in the next couple of weeks so I'll get a look see myself to compare with what is done in SeaTac. I watched that video you posted. Those 2 Blonds really worked that story up into a big deal. But if I am not mistaken the story was covered by the Non-Fascist media weeks ago. By the way, it is pretty normal for countries to weigh in on court cases that they believe effect their citizens. The US does it all the time, and it is normal diplomatic practice for the country where the court is located, to facilitate access. The USA does it because we want the same access when the interests of our citizens in other countries are involved. You may not have been aware of this but you were also protected by such arrangements formalized for military personnel in what are known typically as "Status of Forces" agreements. Real reporters and adult media take account of such things even when it is a slow news day. But then they are not controlled by a foreign robber baron, intent on overthrowing a sitting President thru fostering a seditious Fifth Column of hecklers, impatient for Daddy President to make all the problems go away right now.

You know better than that. Status of Forces agreements were meant to protect U.S. Forces from the courts of the country they were serving in, *up to a point*. If you assaulted someone, or committed some other crime, you were tried by the military and not that country's court. This has nothing to do with SoF. BTW, I know of a CT chief (my supervisor in Japan) who killed a Japanese citizen while DUI. He was tried in a Japanese court and served 5 years in a Japanese prison. Dave |

Dave Dave I think your comments make some of my points as per the Arizona situation. IE that it is SOP diplomatic procedure that Faux News is hyping.) And in a more humorous vein, Hey since Rupert's screaming Blonds of Faux News are always pointing at our roofers, their office cleaners and gardeners as "INVADERS," (after they pay them off the books of course) , maybe a Status of Forces Agreement is exactly what Arizona needs. (Laugh, it's a lame assed joke.;+))) And do not assume that folks of my persuasion do not agree that the border situation has needed fixing for a long time. And lets be honest, it is time to take this work out of the hands of the beltway bandits. But that is not a lib/con issue, and attempts to make it that should cause you to at least question the motives of the Rupert's Rightard Fifth Column. Dave |
