Re: TSA and venues other than airports
I just took a trip to California and back, and I drove specifically so that I wouldn't have to deal with TSA. Flying would have been cheaper, with current gas prices, and I could have spent 3 hours each way flying, instead of 3 days driving outbound and 4 days returning on the highways.
I chose not to fly because I refuse to allow government pen-pushers dictate how much shampoo I can carry on a plane, and I refuse to allow government thugs to juggle my junk or fondle my wife's breasts. Period. My private parts are not a threat to the national security, and tickling them won't make the nation safer.
Janet Napolitano is a weazle, and she is exactly the kind of bureaucrat who would have been comfortable in Soviet Russia. I'm actually surprised she got elected dog-catcher in Arizona. Perhaps the state level is the limit of her competence.
I am not one of those who advocates for, or relishes the idea of, any kind of armed revolution against the federal government. But if one ever does happen, it will be the Department of Homeland Security and TSA policies that pushes things over the edge. Right now, I fear less the tyranny of Congress, the presidency, or the courts (although all three are bad enough), than I fear the tyranny of faceless officialdom hiding in the bowels of a bureaucracy which is dedicated to the the daily erosion of our personal freedoms. Homeland Security and the TSA are where that particular nest of vipers happens to be ensconced at this time. Both agencies are in drastic need of reform, along with BATF.
