I will never submit myself to the TSA thugs, not for a ballgame, not for a plane ride. I have not flown since they invaded the airports, and barring some emergency where there is no other choice, I never will.

But what do we do when they invade the malls, theaters, bus and train stations, and what do we do when they set up warrant-less checkpoints on the highways?

The solution is simple. Make the choice. Choose between going through the TSA humilation to get into the game, or not.

If your freedom is more important to you than seeing a bunch of guys hit a ball with a stick, then refuse to go through the TSA goon squad. If you value your ball players more than human dignity, submit to the TSA.

It's a choice that every person who attended the game made. What choice would you make?

You nailed it.

The old slippery slope, the camel's nose under the ten, insert whatever metaphor describing mission creep.

But this really isn't mission creep, they have the escalation of their "services" on us already well planned.

So in reality, it's the good old "boiling the frog" tactic.

The TSA has been in every airport in America since 9/11/01. And during that time there have been 28 million domestic departure flights (it's a fact, look it up) And the total terrorists apprehended during those 28 million departures is ZERO, and the total terrorist acts aboard those 28 mil flight is also ZERO. When the TSA checkpoints at various airports have been covertly tested, the managed to miss 70% of the guns and fake bombs that were being run through.


All these facts, taken together with the massive costs, the incredible inconvenience, the humiliation of the elderly and infirm, the groping of little children, the endless theft of passenger's valuable by the TSA goons, and we should be demanding their total elimination , not allowing them to invade our ballparks.
