TSA is all part of a strategy to cow America. Welcome to our world, Claire. Surprising(?) what our representatives in D.C. don´t have a clue about.

Now when Clare gets complaints about TSA from constituents, she can say, "Oh, I know, it´s awful, I had to go through it too, so we all have to put up with it for safety´s sake."

Remember all those WWII movies showing the constant check of train passengers by the Gestapo? Himmler would be proud of the TSA. Even during the war years here in the U.S., citizens were allowed free travel.

I still can´t beleive people put up with these searches and screenings after over a decade of terrible stories. I flew once after 9-11, in 2005, and will not do it again. If I can´t drive, I won´t go.

How fast things would change if people just stopped flying. The airlines might begin to put pressure on the government. Citizens complaints don´t seem to be doing much. I knew it was trouble to take flight security away from the airlines and give it to the federal government. G.W. Bush was not a conservative.

Poor Claire. She had her own plane but she had to get rid of it for appearences because she had not paid taxes on it. Next thing you know our ruling class will be getting tax payer funded private planes so they won´t have to stoop to being molested by TSA.

What? Didn´t the TSA know who she was??

Every time I´ve flown I´ve been patted down due to an artificial knee and hip. The agents were always gentlemen.

I´m not convinced this system of checks is effective. To my knowledge there has been no serious threat discovered. Yet it is costing billions to keep it going. Israel uses information not patdowns.

There´s people getting filthy rich off TSA equipment purchases and that´s what it´s really about.There´s machines sitting in warehouses that millions were spent on.I´d like to know who got the contract for their new uniforms which costs a $1000 per worker.What country are they being made in and by whom.

Even Lanni Davis had to admit the WH tours being shut down was a dumb idea.Even the dumbest lofo knows we can afford these out of a 3 and a half trillion budget.

I don´t know how republicans are doing it,but they´re making a comeback in public opinion.Obama and the left have gotten too full of themselves.

Aw Gee Claire, so you were a bit uncomfortable?

Not to worry Claire. Plenty of us are very uncomfortable by knowing that dingbats like yourself are in the U.S. Senate.

My sympathy goes out to the poor TSA agent...

Maybe next time she can be taken out of line for a more thorough screening and search.

Claire´s a grandma, isn´t she? She fits their profile. The TSA exists to protect the USA from the menace of senior citizens and three-year-olds. Swarthy young men with bombs and Qurans sail by because, well, they´re scary.

I wonder if Claire admired the new $50 million uniforms we taxpayers bought for the TSA agents?

Five words for you Claire, babe...

Put. Some. Ice. On. It.

What is she, twelve? Tweeting "omg" by a Senator is embarrassing.

This was all predicted in the movie ´Airplane´, where the little old lady is manhandled by the screening agents, while a bunch of gun-toting guys walks on through even as all the bells and whistles are going off.

She was hoping for the male agent

Saw this article late last week about the effectiveness of the TSA in general. Forwarded under the title "No shirt Sherlock!"
