[quote]A computer monitor that was checked as baggage caused a security scare Monday morning at Newark Liberty International Airport, prompting officials to shut down part of a terminal for about an hour as a precaution.
The Transportation Security Administration detected the suspicious package at 6:17 a.m. during screening of checked baggage in Terminal A, which is home to American Airlines at the airport, TSA spokesman James Fotenos said.
"To ensure the safety of the traveling public, the nearby security checkpoint was temporarily closed," Fotenos said.[/quote]
STAND ASIDE OR I WILL POKE YOU IN THE SIDE WITH THIS MONITOR!
Can America as a people opt out of the federal Government? Or atleast the TSA?

Unfortunately, stupidity isn't optional.
This airline security crap is getting out of hand... I mean, I understand the worries after 9/11, but seriously, you can't even take lotion on a plane. How am I supposed to get in the mile high club if I don't have my lotion?
Time saving technique; when reading any article about TSA, substitute every word with "DERP".
The TSA, they're nuts about security.

nope. we live under the American flag we Live under the American government.
TSA is the most useless screening process ever invented. They let a guy with a handgun in his laptop case go through, they do shit like this, they have operators jacking off to the infrared screening machines, etc.
And yet, we still have people defending them.
misleading thread title
they didn't shut down the airport; they shut down a security checkpoint
Another successful procedure.

Not if you're gay/bi/lesbian, there's descrimination everywhere it seems. And if you're black, you're subject to racial profiling and general racism. Same if you're anything but American, but that's just how emotions work.
TSA is such a joke, good thing we don't have them in EU
Why don't terrorists just blow up trains or massive cruise liners now.
Al-Qaeda's probably about laughing their asses off about this

TSA should do that with baggage
I woulda thought that FP, out of all places, would be supportive of TSA. I mean, who else is going to touch your package.

Again, this is where I point out I shipped an entire superworkstation in my luggage and all I got was a weird look.

You still pay taxes, we still have laws. In case you haven't noticed, we haven't been following the constitutional rights very well since 2001
You are as free as a bird in a cage. You can eat and sleep, but you can't leave.

Taxes and laws aren't unconstitutional for fucks sakes.

yes you can. It's quite easy to leave the US. It's probably easier to leave the US and assimilate elsewhere in the world than it is for most other cultures.

Well, there IS a John Locke-Style amendment to our constitution in which if the people have complete agreement that the government is not doing its job right and possess the power to overtake it. They may do so.
Unfortunately, everyone being a partisan bastard right now doesn't help

That's weird, I shipped about 8 pipebombs, and I didn't even get a second look.

The US government is not America. They just have a bad habit of making us look bad.

Yeah, even with so many jackasses running the show, they're not even close to the point where they need to be dragged out in the street just yet.
