So,
It seems that while I was disconnected from the Internets, there has been some upheaval about TSA's practice of taking naked pictures of men, women, and children and if those people refused to have naked pictures taken, of being fondled and groped by sexual predators wearing magical costumes that free them from the bonds of morality. A couple of my friends have blogged about it, Ron Paul has apparently spoken out several times in the last week about it, and it's in the forums and blogosphere in general.
The media has actually been shocking in the fact that they have been reporting some of the atrocities and lies that have been spewed by the sleazebags trying to quiet the fears of the public who don't want to be photographed naked or felt up by complete strangers.
For instance, the public was assured that the naughty bits would be blocked out so that the perverts in the viewing booth wouldn't see breasts and genitalia. Obviously, if you have one ounce of common sense, you knew at the same instant that this assurance was uttered that it was complete and utter bullshit. You don't announce to the world where they can hide things to board an airplane. You also don't block out the naughty bits after the underwear bomber incident. I am hoping that all of my readers are smart enough to know that when you are put in the "hold up" position (so appropriate, don't you think?) that all of your naughty bits are on view to the sex offender in the booth.
Also, there was the assurance that none of the images were saved. Yeah, well, that's been blown out of the water as well but it also doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that there is a camera on every cell phone today so even if the machine didn't keep the images, the degenerate in the booth could snap pics of anyone he finds pleasing to keep for himself or text off to his friends. He could download them to his computer if he wants so that he can jack off to the image of your 14 year old daughter at his pleasure.
Then there's the fact that with a simple "color invert", you get to see what the deviants in the viewing booth get to see.
Seen here is a "color invert" from the image above. The person that posted this said that he used a low resolution program to tone down the image for his viewers. The TSA will be looking at the highest resolution that money can buy so it's a good bet that they'll be able to count your pubic hairs from the picture that they get to take, keep, and text to their friends.
The fact that everything that was put forth from the TSA is a lie shouldn't come as any kind of surprise. Do you really expect sexual deviants to be honest and forthright.
"Yeah, it takes naked pictures of your kids that we'll enhance, store, and use to get our rocks off on at night, uh, for your protection, of course."
Not exactly the press release that you would expect to hear.
My blogger friends are on the right track with what they are going to do about it, although I would add a couple of extra steps to see if it has better effect. Ron Paul, on the other hand, is giving out the same useless drivel as a solution for the immoral acts done by people in the government - tell Congress that you don't like it.
There are two problems with Ron Paul's suggestion.
1. He's asking you to beg for a little decency from some of the most evil people on the planet.
2. He's asking you to use English to speak to them, a language that doesn't get results.
These are some of the most immoral and violent people in the world and you're supposed to send them an email saying that you don't like deviants fondling your kids and they are going to listen? The rulers of the United States kill hundreds of thousands of people every year. They destroy human bodies, water supplies, hospitals, and entire countries if the price is right. They will support despotic and tyrannical leaders if those leaders will keep the people out of the way and they don't care how the despot keeps the people in check. Compared with the murder of millions of people over the years, what's a little bit of voyeurism? Does being fondled by strangers even move the needle on their shock-ometer?
Do I even have to bring up the track record of previous attempts at begging? Or the "vote the bums out/vote new bums in" strategy to "send them a message"?
With this understanding, that the rulers are immoral and that even within their own framework are considered incredibly corrupt, you know that using the English language, persuasion, logic, morality, decency, and rational arguments is a complete waste of time. The language that they speak is money. You have to pay them to do what you want them to do. The nudie body scanners weren't put in place because they were the best thing or the safest thing or even because they are effective. Lobbyists paid the rulers to enact the laws so that the companies that sell them could make billions of dollars in profit.
This brings up a bit of a conundrum for the average citizen and for the rulers as well.
In order to get what you want from the rulers, you have to pay them millions of dollars. Unfortunately, while Americans do pay billions of dollars, they don't get a choice on where the money goes or whether or not they pay it. The people in the government take the money with intimidation and threats, which completely negates the power Americans would have if they got to choose where their money went. Once the people in the government rob Americans of 50% of their money, there's not a whole lot left over for lobbying bribing people.
On the ruler's side is the puzzle of how to get their hands on some of those billions of dollars without it being way too obvious that they are personally benefiting from the theft of all that money. This is where third party lobbyists come into play. The rulers give a corporation several billion dollars worth of business at the expense of the people that have been robbed. The corporation then gives the rulers millions of dollars in "consulting fees" and "campaign contributions" and other semantic phrases used in place of the word "bribe". This gives the rulers a way to take money from the people they rule and put it into their own pocket. It also adds insult to injury for those that see what's really going on.
You see, while the people are up in arms about strangers copping a feel on them and jerking off to naked pictures of their teenage daughters, the reality of the situation is that those same people are the ones that are funding the offensive actions. The people that are being sexually victimized and having their children abused are the ones that are paying for it. It's far beyond cruelly ironic.
As to Ron Paul's suggestion, unless it's an assignment for your high school brainwashing civics class, I would send your email to someone that might be able to make a difference.
The first step to fixing the problem has been pointed out by my fellow bloggers - stop flying. There are many forms of violence and abuse being handed down by people in the government that can't be avoided but in this case, we can avoid airports. There is some concern that after the next mall or school shooting, that we'll see the implementation of naked body scanners become more prolific but for now, we can deal with the airports.
If you are an adult and want to fly and have no qualms about people seeing you naked or feeling you up, then by all means, go ahead and fly. At that point, we're talking about consensual actions taken by adults. It amounts to prostitution since you are paying them to grope you but I have no problems with that. That's your choice as a consenting adult.
However, if you are a parent and you subject your kids to this form of abuse, that I can't condone. There are countless videos out there now of TSA workers taking clothes off of children and inappropriately touching the kids. The kids are, very understandably, freaking out about having strangers molest them. The parents are allowing this to happen. The parents are helping it happen. The parents are paying for it to happen. The parents are helping to hold these frightened, screaming, wailing, kids still so that a pedophile claiming to be free of the bounds of morality can sexually abuse the kids.
If you do this to your kids, you have no right being a parent. Please, give your children up for adoption immediately to someone that will properly take care of them.
The second step is to speak the language of the rulers or find someone that can speak on your behalf. Instead of sending an email to the people in Washington (who are the most appropriate subjects for RICO that there ever has been) send an email to every airline at your closest airport. Let them know that you will not be flying until they rein in the TSA. Let them know that you are going to pass the word on to everyone you know, that you will blog about it, that you will scream it from the rooftops, that you will stand in front of airports protesting the sex abuse, that you will spread the word in any way possible to get people to stop using their airline company until the abuse stops.
Southwest Airlines is one of the main airlines flying out of Salt Lake City and they have a public forum on their website. Here's what people are telling them:


These three were one after another. This is the topic and this is the message. Nothing else that Southwest (or any other airline) does to improve their service can offset the sexual abuse of its customers.
This is what has to be done. You have to convince all the airlines to spend their lobby bribe money fighting against the nudie machine lobbyists. The laws and the rulers that create those laws are sold to the highest bidder so you have to find someone that will take your side and spend millions of dollars buying politicians and upper level bureaucrats. If you take away enough business from the airlines, they will outbid the nudie business and buy a change in the rules to do away with the sexual abuse of their customers.
Stop flying and be very vocal to the airline companies that you are done using their service until they fix it.
The third step is to come to the realization that there are no double standards when it comes to morality.
You can't write down on a piece of paper that you are somehow exempt from all morality while everyone else in the world has to be moral or you'll taze them.
I have said it before and I will say it again and again. There is no such things as the means justifying the end because there are means. Every mean is an end unto itself. Every end is a means to the next end. People cannot commit immoral acts claiming that it will bring about morality. The sexual abuse of every person that flies on an airplane is in itself creating far more immorality than there would otherwise be. People cannot sexually abuse millions of men, women, and children and claim that they are doing it to keep the victims safe. They are inflicting abuse on victims, plain and simple. They are the biggest threat to personal safety that will seen by passengers all that day.
You know too, that applications to the TSA from sex offenders and pedophiles without criminal records have just gone through the roof. I mean, this is an absolute dream job for them. For their entire life, they have had to live secret double lives, hiding their desires from other people for fear of being called despicable and depraved and being ostracized from society. The instant that the Human Resources representative hands them a bit of plastic, an ID card that has their name on it along with the letters T - S - A, they can come out of the closet. In that instant, when the card leaves the HR hand and lands in the predator's hand, immorality is changed to morality. What they could never admit or do pubicly for their entire lives now becomes a daily event, not just allowed but expected. It becomes a duty for them to violate people sexually, in order to keep those people safe. They can talk about how much they deplore that the world has come to the point where this job is necessary, while they volunteer for all the overtime shifts that they can get their quivering, anxious hands on.
The plastic that goes into those ID cards has to got to be something so special and so rare to give it the magical properties to instantly change morality by 180 degrees. I'll bet they keep the raw plastic for those ID cards in Fort Knox. They would have to, wouldn't they? What if anyone at all could get their hands on this stuff? What if you or I could get our hands on this plastic?
Not that you or I would be sexual predators of course but what if you needed a bit of extra cash for Christmas and you had access to this plastic. You could put your name on it with the letters I - R - S and you would instantly have the "right" to take money from other people through force and intimidation. There are so many 3 letter agencies out there that I'm sure that if you found any of your desires blocked by morality, you could print up some card that would completely reverse the laws of morality for you. Seriously, the plastic in these ID cards has got to be some supremely magical shit and must be one of the most closely guarded secrets of the people in the government.
Back to reality. People cannot do evil and claim that it is good. Well, they can claim it but it is our duty (if we want to make things better) to point out that it's complete bullshit and to stop it where we can. And, in this case, we do have a little bit of power, if only vicariously.
You want the sexual abuse at airports to stop?
1. Stop flying.
2. Tell all of the airlines that you have stopped using their service.
3. Hold every single person to the exact same moral standards and draw attention to any double standards.
