I just find this hilariously hypocratic. Do we all remember how the left was screaming that the actions of the TSA was/would be stomping on their rights at airports? Now since we have a liberal President and a 59 vote Democratic powerhouse Congress...(hic), the TSA now seems to have carte blanche in it's security methods. They have been given permission to use body scanners without a yelp. Now they are going to use a mobile chemical detection unit that will detect the nitro from a heart patient or anyone that has fired a gun, down to handling fireworks in the past week. Guess what? The ACLU is onboard with it's use! Now, I am all for anything that will keep terrorists at bay, but what if President Bush and his admin wanted to use this technology? The left would be lining up to tell the TSA "NO! It is against my rights!" Hypocracy is in the definition of liberal. http://www.usatoday.com/travel/flights/2010-02-16-TSA-swabs_N.htm |
