TSA forces breast cancer survivor and flight attendant to whip out prosthetic breast - Polidicks

[QUOTE=SgtCr4zyAlt;26164646]why don't you just strip everyone naked and stick a probe up their assholes while you're at it you crazy moron. what fucking country do you live in because apparently it hasn't invented privacy yet.[/QUOTE] Because that's a bit over the top, Maybe that's necessary if they have shown signs that they might be carrying a bomb. Having a pat down and having to remove a breast (I am assuming it's in a room where only the female security officer can see it) isn't too much. She's just whining.

[QUOTE=SgtCr4zyAlt;26164758]so that means everyone with fake tits is going to need to go through this stupid shit? you're pretty insane.[/QUOTE] .....can I volunteer for that job? "...hmmm, nope guess you are right, these feel real!"

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;26164698]How many people would cut off their testicles and replace it with a thermonuclear device? One? Guess we have to examine everyone's testicles now before a flight. [editline]19th November 2010[/editline] someone could sneak a retarded person into the plane with a bomb in their brain we must order cranial examinations of everyone immediately![/QUOTE] How many people can fit a thermonuclear devise where their testicles are, be realistic.

[QUOTE=GunFox;26164117]Whereas our fourth amendment rights are more important than a hundred plane loads of passengers. If you want to trade freedom for safety, move to the UK. It's a perfectly valid desire, but it is not the basis for the United States.[/QUOTE] Hahaha what? Nice one making it sound like freedom doesn't exist in the UK

[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;26164950]Hahaha what? Nice one making it sound like freedom doesn't exist in the UK[/QUOTE] that's how he rolls

Fuck you, TSA. [QUOTE=Kingy_who;26163854] The woman was dumb anyway, If she didn't wan't more radiation going into her body, why the flying fuck is she flying.[/QUOTE] Breast cancer survivor. Cancer survivors are susceptible to a relapse. New scanners cause radiation. Radiation causes cancer. Gee, I wonder why she refused the scanner?

[QUOTE=Leon Trotsky;26164963]that's how he rolls[/QUOTE] yeah of course because we don't have guns that means we're a police state sorry forgot that it's black and white like that

[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;26164950]Hahaha what? Nice one making it sound like freedom doesn't exist in the UK[/QUOTE] No, don't get me wrong, the UK remains plenty free, it's just that we pull in different directions and view the purpose of our governments in a different fashion. While I disagree with that mindset, I understand the desire and it wasn't intended as a negative comment. Though I do understand how it could be interpreted as such and I apologize for that.

[QUOTE=GunFox;26165069]No, don't get me wrong, the UK remains plenty free, it's just that we pull in different directions and view the purpose of our governments in a different fashion. [/QUOTE] the US isn't "freer" than the UK, which is what it seems like you're saying

[QUOTE=Kingy_who;26164174]I live in the UK.[/QUOTE] he's just another guy who assumes [B]everyone[/B] he meets is like him and is an american

[QUOTE=Anteep2;26165354]he's just another guy who assumes [B]everyone[/B] he meets is like him and is an american[/QUOTE] He was talking about the system like it applied to him. You are right and it was a silly assumption, but the mistake is easily understood, given his comment.

[QUOTE=ZekeTwo;26163947]Isn't it a different type of radiation? I don't see why you'd get more xrays from the sun at altitude as you would on the ground, you're still under the earth's magnetic field.[/QUOTE] Different kind (gamma instead of xray) but not less dangerous. If she was really that much concerned about getting cancer again, she shouldn't risk the flight at all. And by the way, what were they supposed to do? What if she DID have a bomb in breast prosthetic? They couldn't scan her because she was a scared of radiation, so they had to check the obvious abnormality in some other way. What's even that traumatizing on showing somebody in complete secrecy your prosthetic boob? It's not like they could take pictures or something. [editline]20th November 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=SgtCr4zyAlt;26164758]so that means everyone with fake tits is going to need to go through this stupid shit? you're pretty insane.[/QUOTE] So you are saying that there should be completely uncheckable zone because of ethical taboo (which I am not even sure why it exists)? People who are willing to suicide on the plane can very easily sacrifice a piece of flash for it. Get a decently prepared charge packed into a prosthetic, refuse the scan which is your right, and nobody has anything to force you to show your prosthetic. That's like the most fucking simple way of bombing a plane with zero risk.

you need [I]complete[/I] control if you want to stop these bombings etc, or you might as well have a small amount of control, you gotta have a system that is one way or the other

This isn't news. It's some woman's unfortunate experience.

I can't wait until Facepunch finds something new to bitch about. [B]"HEADLINES AT 10:00: PARAMEDIC FOUND TO BE SATANIST WHO HATES PUPPIES! FORUMS ENRAGED!"[/B]

[QUOTE=Anteep2;26165967]you need [I]complete[/I] control if you want to stop these bombings etc, or you might as well have a small amount of control, you gotta have a system that is one way or the other[/QUOTE] Or perhaps we can act like adults and realize that a plane is no more a valid target than a coffee shop, transit station, or train. By acting like a bunch of scared little children we do nothing but embolden the people trying to hurt us.

sad

The terrorists have achieved their goal, to strike terror so that there must be these strict rules which harm the innocent.

Another day in the life of the Transportation SturmAbteilung I suppose.

lol this is the cost of our so called freedom. We fight and die for it but when shit starts affecting them they are ready to bitch and moan.

Why did you perma Warhol? [editline]20th November 2010[/editline] It looks a bit suspicous when you perma someone while you're debating with them

Warhol wasn't debating. And he's done that shit before.

[QUOTE=starpluck;26168818]Why did you perma Warhol? [editline]20th November 2010[/editline] It looks a bit suspicous when you perma someone while you're debating with them[/QUOTE] He has a long ass history of flaming and his debates typically end in insults (however he backs up what he says with decent evidence).

[QUOTE=Erebus.;26168949]He has a long ass history of flaming and his debates typically end in insults (however he [b]*mostly*[/b] backs up what he says with decent evidence).[/QUOTE] Even he's posted flamerants before, see this topic.

[QUOTE=Warhol;26164467]Points you ignored: A: the USAPATRIOT B: The fact you just flat out lied about the US C: claimed the US has never done anything remotely unconstitutional in the name of security D: You are an ignorant fuck [highlight](User was permabanned for this post ("Perma'd again. You were warned." - GunFox))[/highlight][/QUOTE] Nice job GunFox, you are the worst fucking moderator in existence.

That post would have gotten him a 3 day ban in any other topic as any other user by any other mod. Warhol has repeated this action across a period of time. He ran out of warnings. He was perma'd. I see nothing wrong, just people siding with the one they agree with. EDIT: Well, nothing wrong except it was perma. But that may have just been loss of GM.

I don't even agree with Warhol, I just love him. He was open about his beliefs and ALWAYS only insulted when the situation warranted it

[QUOTE=Tetracycline;26169037]I don't even agree with Warhol, I just love him. He was open about his beliefs and ALWAYS only insulted when the situation warranted it[/QUOTE] That was not a situation warranted. He pretty much jumped straight to "ignorant fuck" in the second post. GunFox did not react insultingly to his first. [editline]19th November 2010[/editline] To be fair, I'd have gone with a 5day for repeated infractions. This did not warrant a perma, but he did need a regular ban at least.

Goddamn, surprised that didn't happen a long time ago. I agree'd with him the majority of the time but shit he was obnoxious. "Fuck this, fucking fuck fucker shit asshole" "Lol no i'm not angry you moron"
