Wow, this one makes me mad.

There are a few comments there that whine, "...but it's for our saaaaafety!", but most of the comments range from laughing at the ludicrous, pathetic TSA, to being pissed.

there was a good comment by gloria about the brandenburg gate
what should we call MHT?
checkpoint charlie
or "Checkpoint Mike"
checkpoint MHT

Hmm... sounds like a sign that needs to be placed... "Now approaching checkpoint Charlie. Prepare to present your papers."

This sign would work as well:

Once I got to MHT really early in the morning... and there was nobody there.  Literally, I couldn't check in for my flight cuz no employees had shown up for work yet.  All a terrorist has to do is set his alarm clock earlier than the TSA.

Heh. I thought of that when reading a Carlos Miller article this week. After that nutjob shot at the outside of the Texas capitol, the place was swarming with news teams. Some DPS troopers took great exception to one who shot some B-roll footage while not in the "official news zone". While insisting that he produce his DL or other ID (for having the nerve to stand in a public place), They tried to block his camera and cover their faces with their Stetsons.

exactly
i guess that shows there are no people that want to bomb the building, or they wake up late
do they inspect your fist of death before you can board the plane?

[Lloyd Danforth]

Probably, just divert their eyes from it.

Here is my a list I came up with of ways to peaceably resist these searches.  What are *your* ideas for effectively opposing this?

Some easy low risk ones first:

Get video whenever you see or experience a search.  be open, inform authorities you're audio taping.  call porc 411 whenever you learn of a search underway.   vector activists to the scene.  maybe I or others can get video too. or you could set up a spot demonstration.  maybe you could have a sign or two ready to go for this purpse.   you could set up a pre planened  protest.

another thing I tried before discovering video...was to walk deep into  the airport and stand there with a sign protesting security procedures.   i handed out leafelets to folks who approached me then backed out slowly when cops ordered me out.   

if forced into a search try complying slowly.  ask questions....who what where when why.

You can reduce your number of outgoing flights.  Just cancel certain trips.   you didn't want to be away from new hamsphrie anyhow, right? you didnt want the governemnt to get all that tax money did you?  and you didn't realliy want to be four hundred dollars poorer, did you?  if possible...just skip the trip.   if therer's somewhere you really need to be... try being there less often but for a longer period of time.  that's what i do. I limit flights , no more than two per year.   avoid last minute bookings to reduce the amount of money they get out of you.
these steps willl amount to a partial boycott.

if you for some reason cannot take any risk at all, there are still steps available.  write down everything you see and post it to one of the liberty oriented web forms in new hampshire.   

if you want to be even more effective you can always drive up  and decline to submit.   just dont do this half cocked and dont be rude.

see the video descrip for this clip....if you want  a relativeliy full list of your options. 

i do have some questions regarding the exact protocol the authoritarians will impose .... maybe you can answer them for me.   what woudl constitute an inspection?  a search? would they serach inside vehicle cabs?   trunks?   engines?   would they use special devices of some kind?  Will they be purchaseing new equipment at taxpayer expense?  would they arrest an approaching driver for having marijuana in her glove box?   her trunk?  what would they do if a driver arrived at the terminal but refused to consent to a search?   these are questions you can help answer if you run into a search.

Hey, if they don't search everybody coming to the airport, somebody might hijack it to Cuba. 

More sekurity theatre. Laugh at the fools. Don't take them seriously.
