Every time I must travel on an American commercial airliner the TSA torture gauntlet becomes more offensive and demeaning. I simply hate to fly anywhere anymore. They are trying to program us with the idea that the more miserable they make us the safer we are. It’s simply a lie.We can however change the rules and ease the threat considerably. We can end air travel on American carriers for all foreigners from enemy countries. We begin with Iran and Iraq and add countries to the no fly list. Citizens of those countries, even those with American Green Cards can fly the carriers of other countries.
I can just hear the Liberals screaming about this concept. Aren’t these Liberal folks from the same Democratic Party that controlled Congress and that wildly popular Franklin D. Roosevelt during World War II? Wasn’t it the very same folks that detained every Japanese American and forced them into interment camps? This action is not nearly as drastic. These folks from enemy countries are free to fly their own country’s carriers or not fly at all.
If we require passports and valid Green Cards to fly on America carriers, we can curtail movement by illegal aliens too. We can always make exception for one-way passage home for those people here from friendly nations.
Perhaps we can then relax the screening of American passengers to a level of civil courteousness and a pre-9/11 state.

We have never had a domestic terrorist on a jihad or Mission From God to kill innocents. That’s uniquely a radical Muslim thing.
You can say, “But what if” all you want and it’s not going to be the threat these Muslim murders are. This is really quite simple either they have an American passport or they cant board an American plane.
This is not about waiting in line! It’s about our dignity, privacy and liberty! This crap we are doing to ourselves in un-American!
Perhaps the Americans that are too afraid to fly with other free Americans should drive or walk to their destinations.
