    I still like the idea of getting groped with a boner. I won't be subscribing to this crap.

    It's not bribery, it's protection money. You aren't even guaranteed to be safe from the pat-down, as criteria can change on a whim.

    Well it's about time!

    I am so sick and tired of all the poor and middle class scum thinking they can enjoy the same privileges and joys of travel that the wealthy can AFFORD...this should shut them uppity workers up real quick. Can'tr pay, don't play...that's amaerika for ya. Land of the FEEs and the SLAVEs.

    So, regular americans with basic rights get their rights waived but people that pay up get special treatment?

    Were in loopy land.
    I thought only the mafia did stuff like this.

    AMERIKKKKKAAAAAAAAA
    Land of the free!


    I was wondering, could you get some psychologists/doctors note for having a phobia of being raped in public?
    Then if they try handling your dingaling you can slap them with the note and sue the TSA :D
    One can only hope lol.

    Figured I'd bump this thread instead of starting a new one.  
     
    I just came across an article about the TSA has a new 'randomly' precheck approve whole lines of people program.
    http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20140113/15004725857/tsa-granting-expedited-security-checks-to-entire-lines-travelers-undercuts-everything-about-its-security-theater.shtml
     
    The insanity is so clear to see I had to verify this event(s) took place.

    Apparently the TSA employees have become so proficient in their duty that whole lines can be, seemingly arbitrarily, be officially deemed "secure".   Oh, and I loved this article at fox's website:
    http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2013/12/18/tsas-precheck-program-lets-travel-like-vip/
    Being respected as a human being is considered "VIP treatment".  The system is convulsing.  It's attempts to be seen as voluntary is resulting in these mind bending displays of irrationality.
    /end rant

    Bypass our bullshit, only 100$.

    Everybody knows that all terrorists are poor shoeless peasants with dirty towels on their heads. They can't afford $100 so clearly anyone who has $100 to burn must be a good red blooded American. Seems legit to me.

    Buy your own fucking plane complainers. Their company their rules.
