Its your choice, let them pat you down or whatever they care to cal it, or kiss your chances of ever having another child if your of that age to bare children.

No children means no grandchildren to hold, feed, bath, dressup, hugg and fuss over.

First, I empathize with the victim of these ordeal.

Second, I do not buy into every conspiracy theory I hear about.

However i just don't buy that these pat downs are simply about security.

 

I think many of these policies that invade our personal space and get bureaucrats into close proximity serve to "cow" us, separate us from our bill of rights and accustom us to an environment of less expected privacy.

 

Having grown up on a dairy farm, the parallel is obvious to me.

On the farm, we don't wait until the day we will start milking a cow to get her use to the barn.

A couple of weeks before, she is taken and placed with the currently milking cows.

After she is used to standing with them outside, she is herded into the barn with the rest and given a stall.

Grain and hay are used to distract the animal from its new surroundings.

 

After a while, they are used to going in the barn a couple times a day, standing in a stall,

being near humans, having a restraint around its neck etc.

 

Thus when comes the first day to be milked, animal is already used to humans being around them,

the noises and the security of being surrounded by a calm herd.  And even if they react badly,

they are already restrained. They can't run even if they wanted to.

 

To put this in perspective, imagine going back 125 years and trying "pat down" a real cowboy?

or any woman during the Victorian era? The perpetrator would more likely ended up beaten into submission

or hanged.

 

Our bill of rights says we are to be free of unreasonable and unwarranted searches...

It would take very little to convince me that all of these things are happening to get us accustomed to

further invasions of privacy, encroachments of our liberty and to make us a more manageable "herd" for the ruling class.

 

But cows are just stupid animals. Where is the outcry from we humans... especially we Americans, those of us knowledgeable of Natural Rights, Natural Law, the US Constitution and our Bill of Rights.

 

Further, have all you men just become Eunuchs that you will stand by and what strangers grope your women and children?

 

Jesse V  had it right, refuse to submit... draw the line in the sand now or be prepared to accept the next

degradation they intend to inflict on us in the name of necessity.

 

Between bomb sniffing dogs and devices, luggage and safe body scanning technology and other

technology that could and should be developed, there seems to be little reason for these pat downs

to continue.

 

Those were my thoughts.
