"If you touch my junk, I'll have you arrested". That is what some kid told American Airlines at the security checkpoint. Now, I haven't flown in quite awhile, but apparently extensive pat downs including the inner thigh are getting to be more common amongst airline security personnel. One kid has become something of a hero by saying no to it all and saying he'd charge the people with sexual assault if they did so. Eventually they agreed to refund his nonrefundable ticket but warned him if he left he'd be subject to a $10,000 class action lawsuit. He left anyway and has made his cause very clear to the rest of the world.

Personally, I think this is ridiculous. I haven't traveled anywhere in a long time, but I had no idea airports were doing this sort of thing. I can understand that since 9/11 things have gotten bad, but this is ridiculous. Terrorists are not going to be hinding bombs up their peehole nor attaching antrax to their chode. In my opinion, such extensive searches ARE sexual assault, regardless of what the law may say on the matter. I actually applaud the kid for having the dignity to stand for what is right and urging a boycott of the airline industry until this sort of behavior ends. The customer is always right after all.

If we just kill everyone at checkpoints, think of how many terrorists we'll get! Think about it, no more terrorist attacks.

Infact if we kill EVERYone there will be no more war, violence, hate, racism, rape or Mtv.

It's not like a terrorist could, I dunno BE the pilot and all this security was USELESS.

Look, last time someone tried a terrorist attack the passengers beat the fuck out of him, I think WE are the best tool against terrorism, not molestation and taking a peek at my weeny.

I heard about that too, it's honestly really dumb. I mean seriously, those security guards are just doing their job.

(continuing ranting)

The airport security is here to "protect" us?
No motherfucker, WE protect YOU! Treating hard working patriots as terrorists, it's just absurd.
I've even seen people coming back from war getting frisked, those who RISKED THEIR VERY LIVES to protect this freedom that we've lost.

I hate TSA, I hate it so goddamn much.

I could EASILY get past airport security with plastic explosives, I mean I've snuck small amounts of drugs past these retards (No offense to the handicapped) I didn't even sweat.

And what is THREAT ADIVOSORY? Should I be advised to be threatened?

This is ridiculous. Any terrorist worth his salt would have the bomb inside his actual body, possibly by surgery, and have it on a timer.

A timer eh? What if his flight is cancelled/delayed? I suppose he could at least take out those TSA tards then.

Kid? he's 31 according to the article.

Free pats on the banana? Oh goodie, can't wait to get on the plane on Friday!

It's the airports job to pat you down, the least you could do is let them do there job...

I admit. I fly so much for the patdowns mainly.

YES! If we could just get attractive people to do these (and are ready to feel alot of hard on's and erect nipples) I'd tip them every time.

THIS COULD WORK!!!

Good for him, we need more kids like him in this world.

I don't see why he made such a big deal out of it, but whatever, he's kind of an idiot for it, but he's funny as hell.

I haven't flown in five/six years. They didn't pat me down then but I don't want to chance it. I wouldn't want someone I don't know touching my boobs or crotch! And there would be hell to pay if they tried on my children. The full body scan should be more than enough.

When I flew last they destroyed a lot of stuff in my bag. I had brand new underwear still in the package and they cut the package with an exacto knife, which cut right through three pairs of underwear. I called and bitched.

No, we need more people who can adapt to a situation and make the best out of it.

No, people that adapt are the problem. If everyone were like him, the airlines would never get away with it. The problem is with people who just roll over and let it happen so they get away with it. All that is required for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.

Yea, things have gotten bad since 9/11. Since security has tightened up, terrorists have been trying more discrete methods of sneaking explosives onto planes. You know why they started getting more invasive in their pat downs? (Which not everybody undergoes anyway...) Because surprise surprise, terrorists HAVE gotten explosives onto planes by hiding them in their crotch area.

So tell me, would you rather have a hand near your package for a fraction of a second, or the plane you're in crash into the ground?

How fucking insecure about your penis size do you have to be to refuse an security pat down?!

What if you get an erection?

They call for a second opinion to make sure it isn't the barrel of a gun. Which means you get felt up again! Two for the price of one!

I wonder if I can persuade them into checking three times or more. Oh well, I'll find out on Friday.

I'm sure if you say something suspicious you'll be quadruple checked. Just loudly moan "This gunpowder feels SO GOOD against my genitals!" after they check you the first time.

The guy didn't do it because of "principles" or any of that BS, he just had a small willy and didn't want to feel embarrassed. I guarantee if he was well hung he would merely have winked at the security guard when he patted on his knob.

Seriously though, the guy's an idiot. It's a dick, get over it. They security guard is doing his job not copping a feel.

This kid was right to be angry but the airport was right to search him

with known threats being able to enter one of their airplanes, security is getting real tight, they are not looking for money with these searches but safety, if this child is uncomfortable he needs to get the fuck over it, the manner was not truly sexual but more in a way where it is just a quick pat to make sure there are no explosives, drugs, or other banned contraband. This act is truly important to look out for the safety of the passenger himself, the other passengers, the crew, and others.
