Obama Orders Billion Dollars In Security Strip-Search Scanners – TSA Agents Check Passengers’ Genitals – Why?

He Never Lets A Crisis Go To Waste

WorldNetDaily’s Bob Unruh reports today that Barack Obama gave instructions to the Homeland Security Department to spend one billion dollars on purchasing airport electronic body scanning equipment – the same devices that conduct de-facto strip searches for viewing by TSA personnel. The alternative to the strip search is a pat down search that includes touching of the passengers’ genitalia. So, what’s really going on, folks? Here’s Unruh’s story in its entirety:

Some brief excerpts I’ve culled are here:

“…”Legislation has been proposed to mandate full-body scanners and make them the primary screening method in all U.S. airports by 2013, but Congress has yet to act on it,” John Whitehead, president of the Rutherford Institute, wrote in a new commentary…”

“…in the wake of the bumbling underwear bomber’s botched Christmas Day attempt to blow up a Detroit-bound plane, Obama directed the Homeland Security Department ‘to acquire $1 billion in advanced-technology equipment, including body scanners, for screening passengers,'” he continued…”

“…”We’ve gotten tons of e-mails, mainly from females about the invasions of the body scanners,” Whitehead said. “In one case, a mother [told how] her 12-year-old daughter was pulled out of the security line, and [TSA] did touch her breast and vaginal areas.

“This is an unreasonable search and seizure,” he said…”

Perhaps. The Courts are the final arbiter of what constitutes an unreasonable search. My question is, what lies beneath the obvious here?

As airlines passengers we have two choices, both of them very unpleasant and demeaning – humiliating might be the appropriate word: Virtual nudity or having TSA agents’ hands on our private parts – perhaps down inside our pants, as one pilot in Unruh’s story described. Here’s what I believe could be in play:

1) Will these policies discourage people from flying? I believe they will. I, for one, refuse to participate in the madness and will not fly anywhere.

2) Would a significant loss of profits from decreased air traffic put the airlines into deeper financial trouble? I think so.

3) If the airlines industry were to financially collapse, would Obama consider seizing it and nationalizing it? We already have the deceased General Motors and Chrysler Corporations as precedents.

4) Could this airport security gambit be one part of the over-all scheme that Obama is working to induce a total collapse of the economy? If you listen to Rush Limbaugh’s theories, you can begin to believe that all of this current economic chaos is deliberate and part of the larger plan – to create a catastrophic failure of our financial system and plunge us into complete disorder.

So, yes – I can believe that Obama wants to bust the airlines industry, too.

About John L. Work

John Lloyd Work has taken the detective thriller genre and woven an occasional political thread throughout his books, morphing what was once considered an arena reserved for pure fiction into believable, terrifying, futuristic, true-to-life “faction”. He traveled the uniformed patrolman’s path, answering brutal domestic violence calls, high speed chases, homicides, suicides, armed robberies, breaking up bar fights, and the accompanying sporadic unpredictable moments of terror - which eventually come to all police officers, sometimes when least expected. He gradually absorbed the hard fact that the greatest danger a cop faces comes in the form of day-to-day encounters with emotionally disturbed, highly intoxicated people. Those experiences can wear a cop down, grinding on his own emotions and psyche. Prolonged exposure to the worst of people and people at their worst can soon make him believe that the world is a sewer. That police officer’s reality is a common thread throughout Work’s crime fiction books. Following his graduation from high school, Work studied music and became a professional performer, conductor and teacher. Life made a sudden, unexpected turn when, one afternoon in 1976, his cousin, who eventually became the Chief of the Ontario, California, Police Department, talked him into riding along during a patrol shift. The musician was hooked into becoming a police officer. After working for two years as a reserve officer in Southern California and in Boulder, Colorado, he joined the Longmont, Colorado Police Department. Work served there for seven years, investigating crimes as a patrolman, detective and patrol sergeant. In 1989 he joined the Adams County, Colorado Sheriff’s Office, where he soon learned that locking a criminal up inside a jail or prison does not put him out of business. As a sheriff’s detective he investigated hundreds of crimes, including eleven contract murder conspiracies which originated “inside the walls”. While serving on the Adams County North Metro Gang Task Force and as a member of the Colorado Security Threat Intelligence Network Group (STING), Work designed a seminar on how a criminal’s mind formulates his victim selection strategy. Over a period of six years he taught that class in sheriff’s academies and colleges throughout Colorado. He saw the world of crime both inside the walls and out on the streets. His final experiences in the criminal law field were with the Colorado State Public Defender’s Office, where for nearly two years he investigated felonies from the defense side of the Courtroom. Twenty-two years of observing human nature at its worst, combined with watching some profound changes in America’s culture and political institutions, provided plenty of material for his first three books. A self-published author, he just finished writing his tenth thriller.
