To JetBlue: My dignity, my rights, your bottom line- The TSA is wrong

Live free or die.
Hi, my name is Nicole. I'm a hard working US citizen and I feel that our rights are being violated and taken away from us at record breaking speeds. Last night, I got to thinking about an upcoming flight I'm taking. The thought of the overly-intrusive pat downs and virtual strip searches of the new scanners made me go into a panic attack.

I'm now reaching out to the CEO and CFO of Jet Blue for help. The airline company leaders are the ones that can make a real difference in helping simple Americans gain their rights and dignity back.

take the bus....you have no RIGHT to fly.

@gbthreegb3 our are incorrect we have a right to fly and fly unhindered and unmolested.TSA violates the 4th and 5th Amendments. Rights are not something a majority rule votes on. They protect the minority from people to ignorant of rights that they follow Nazis just like you do

Under 49 U.S.C. § 40103 : US Code – Section 40103: Sovereignty and use of airspace:

(a) Sovereignty and Public Right of Transit. – (1) The United

States Government has exclusive sovereignty of airspace of the

United States.

(2) A citizen of the United States has a public right of transit

through the navigable airspace

We have had the right to liberty, free and unhindered movement as a birth right. It was first codified into the law in the Magna Carta in 1215 and is still on the books today. Our Bill of Rights 5th and 10th amendments continue in that right. The very word LIBERTY means free and unhindered travel, the going about one;s business as one sees fit.

This was reaffirmed in the court case in Justice Douglas remarks in Kent vs Dulles: Douglas saw in the Fifth Amendment’s guarantee that “No person shall be . . . deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law,” a right to travel:

[snowbigdeal08]

"The right to travel is a part of the “liberty” of which the citizen cannot be deprived without due process of law under the Fifth Amendment . . . Freedom of movement across frontiers in either direction, and inside frontiers as well, was a part of our heritage. Travel abroad, like travel within the country, may be necessary for a livelihood. It may be as close to the heart of the individual as the choice of what he eats, or wears, or reads. Freedom of movement is basic in our scheme of values."

i am Canadian and had to travel through the US by plane. i will NEVER do that again until changes are made to the violations that happen through the security gates. i felt sick, humiliated and scared. i hope everyone who is bothered/offended/scared by the TSA's fear tactics will stand up and speak. it is NOT okay to touch or scan children, especially!

[snowbigdeal08]

@shakaindy because as an individual we have no voice. TSA &c. continue to trample on our rights.

Thank you. This is exactly how I feel. We canceled our trip to Disney this past winter, and we will no longer as a family fly commercial until security is changed to restore our dignity and freedom. It's immoral and really all about control, not security.. We will however, fly charter flights when we can afford it, which do not have this draconian security.

Give me liberty or give me death! Oh! F*ck! Never mind. Just pretend to save my life from an extremely unlikely event of unfortunate situation, Take my liberty, make me naked and grab my balls. I’m happy. Let me go watch some sex of TV and drink some cool-aid.

I think this is a great video! I have to say that I am saddened by the state of affairs that the smart move was to appeal to the CEOs bottom lines to combat the TSAs thuglike gestapo tactics. Because its the right thing to do should be enough but sadly the almighty dollar is god and at the end of the day the only voice that gets these peoples attention.
