Nov. 19, 2010 - "John King, USA" , CNN
Congressman Ron Paul faces off against Fran Townsend, CNN National Security Analyst and former Homeland Security Advisor to the post-9/11 Bush Whitehouse. Paul argues against the current TSA airport security measures as being invasive and a broad government overreach. Townsend holds that it is a necessary policy for upholding safety in the face of terrorism.

On Nov. 17, 2010 Congressman Ron Paul presented a bill on the House floor in an attempt to curb the invasiveness of TSA search requirements.

"I prefer Dangerous Freedom Over Peaceful Slavery"

This is simply a violation of the 4th amendment. I want to see some Probable cause before they take anymore pictures of Americans. Plain and Simple.

The constitution reins supreme on this issue.

I'm with The Congressman 100%. The woman is a typical no-brain hypocrite government employee. Here goes our tax dollars... going to feed these big mouth brainless people. Dr. Paul said it from the beginning about the possible solutions how to deal with these. But instead of listening, she used fear as excuse to protect us to keep us safe. Only thing they are protecting is their job. Hypocrite and bureaucrat!

I am perfectly OK with all this IF - AND ONLY IF - all government officials, PERSONALLY, must accede to these procedures - IN FULL VIEW - of the other travelers. No short cuts, no exceptions for ANY official, elected or otherwise.

Level playing field anyone? Paul is right. At least on this.

I would rather have a dog poking his nose up my crack then some TSA thug touching my junk.

IF a terrorist wanted to suicide bomb americans, they would just do it, if terrorists wanted to go derail a train, there is absolutely nothing that can stop them, they would go out onto a remote area of track and blow that sucker over... There are all kidns of illegal heavy duty weapons in america... terrorists would have made a giant bomb by now and could have killed so many people, my question is, why does it only happen in a manner that fits agenda of all this tyranny!
