Bypass TSA screening by giving more personal information

[rambone]

If you don't want the radiation scanner or the genital pat down, you can bypass airport screenings by getting interrogated and providing the Federal Government with more of your personal information.


4 airports to try risk-based security screening

A select group of travelers may find it easier Tuesday getting through security checkpoints at four major U.S. airports in return for voluntarily providing more personal information to the federal government as part of a new pilot program.The "PreCheck" program is the first big attempt by President Barack Obama's administration to move away from a one-size-fits-all security approach and toward a more risk-based, intelligence-driven model. It comes after complaints about full-body pat downs and intensive searches of children and the elderly.

No thanks.
I already have to answer enough questions when I go through the US customs.
They already ask me if im a terrorist (I allways answer "No") so what more can the TSA ask me?

I dont like the pat down, the scanner, or the TSA.

That's a good response, because I hear terrorists always answer "yes" to that question.

Yes, honest terrorists do anyway.

They also ask me if im a former Nazi (im in my 20s).

Real questions.

I agree that giving the government more info is a loss of liberty. But zillions of people will line up to do it to take the easy road, creating another slippery slope.

My question is how much more intrusive a check do they perform for "preferred flying status" over what they perform for NFA items?

If you're willing to surrender your right to privacy for a suppressor, SBR or Full Auto firearm, where will the people on this board draw the line between what they are willing to do and consider it to be reasonable?

I actually kinda liked the last time a dude from the TSA grabbed my package in front of a large crowd.
Who would want to give that up?
Well on the other hand you get a private interview with that dude and he might ask for your number if you get lucky.

Hard call.

 

[IndySSD]

Hard call.

Interesting (Freudian?) use of the word "hard" after such fond recollection of another man handling your package.

I took Viagra before and moaned when he grabbed me.

Love the t-shirt above. I personally think the pat down is the easiest and safest (for me) and could care less but I understand the concerns.

Eeww

They actually ask:

"Have you been or are you now involved in espionage or sabotage, or in terrorist activities, or genocide, or between 1933 and 1945 were involved, in any way, in persecutions associated with Nazi Germany or its allies?"

And then say tell you that's a simple YES or NO question and that being honest and answering YES will not bring you any troubles ... hum yeah right.Im still going to say NO on this one.

But it's okay if you're currently a Nazi I take it.

"Why do you ask? Are you looking to hire some more?"

I presume giving the salute and shouting Heil Hitler would also not bring you any trouble.

BINGO! You know history!! BTW This was not taught in school (public at least) so where did you read about it.

About 10,000 Japanese nationals (mostly diplomats and military officials) residing in Germany were given "Honorary Aryan" citizenship with more privileges than any other "non-Aryan" ethnonational group.[citation needed] In Norway, the Nazis favored marriages between Germans and Norwegians, in an attempt to spawn a new "Aryan" generation of Nordics. Around 10,000-12,000 war children (Krigsbarn) were born from these unions during the war. Some of them were separated from their mothers and cared for in so-called "Lebensborn" clinics ("Fountain of Life" clinics).[26][27]

Now the neo-nazis have expanded the whole aryan concept to include more people.

I learned this in public school in France.
I guess we study WW2 more than in the US since it's part of our local history.I live not far from the beaches of the D-Day and we even had a few german bunkers around (even inside and under) our high school that we could see from the history classroom.
