There has never been an explosive found on a flight from one U.S. city to another, Pistole acknowledged. But, he pointed out, domestic terrorists exist — Timothy McVeigh, Eric Rudolph and Ted Kaczynski, for instance — and there are people who want to do the government harm. While America is “fortunate” that such an incident has not occurred on a domestic flight, he said, it could conceivably happen….”

Believes isn’t good enough. His unsupported belief should not reult in naked pictures of travelers or the elderly, infirmed and young children being molested, sexually assaulted and criminially humiliated by underpaid glorified security guards who have yet to stop one bomber.
The underwear bomber among them.

These scans and gropings are a waste of time, money and resources. All they accomplish is terrorizing the men, women and children of the United States more than Osama Bin Laden ever did.

If they are so harmless the TSA cheif whould go through it several times a day to prove how harmless it is. He should also submit to a groping an sexual assault by TSA employees on his way to and from work to demonstrate how un-invasive it is.

Obama, stop shotting yourself in the foot with this kind of headline.
It makes you look weak to constantly be begging and pleading with big business.
they will never be happy with anything you do.
Get some pride and tell them how it’s gonna be and stop asking for their approval.
who is in charge, you or them?
right now it sure as hell looks like them.
It also looks like you care more about them than you do the people who supportered you.
Cut it out already before you cost the entire Democratic party every single one of its seat, you incompetant moron!
