U.S. Airport Pat-Downs Are About to Get More Invasive

March 4th, 2017

Via: Bloomberg:

While few have noticed, U.S. airport security workers long had the option of using five different types of physical pat-downs at the screening line. Now those options have been eliminated and replaced with a single universal approach. This time, you will notice.

The new physical touching—for those selected to have a pat-down—will be be what the federal agency officially describes as a more “comprehensive” physical screening, according to a Transportation Security Administration spokesman.

Denver International Airport, for example, notified employees and flight crews on Thursday that the “more rigorous” searches “will be more thorough and may involve an officer making more intimate contact than before.”

    A complaint soon to be heard in airports across America: “The TSA goon gave me an anal probe, but didn’t even have the common courtesy to offer a reach-around”.

    This crap has nothing to do with “enhanced security,” but everything to do with social engineering — getting the public, and especially the youth, used to being treated like animals in an abattoir. Line up and meekly accept, without protest or resistance, what’s coming to you.

    What a horrifying idea; Society being groomed by abusers, the cross-pollination of Henry Ford, Skinner & Sade.
