Monday Levity--SNL Spoofs TSA

It's going to be a tough week, so we'll start out on a humorous note with the gang from SNL and their way too damn funny take on the not so funny TSA groping.

BTW, has anyone noticed the push by MSNBC on the morning news to help cover for the TSA and proclaiming that "the public is over-reacting" about the whole thing?

Big Sis and John "Peashooter" Pistole must have sent them a memo.
(Video reloaded after earlier "issues." Universal has blocked some versions of this bit, now you have to sit through an obligatory commercial before the fun starts.)

  5. Okay seriously though....from the web in response to "over reacting" especially what the kids are going through from this madness:

    Ken Wooden is a former journalist and author of the chilling and important book "The Children of Jonestown."

    His experience covering the Jonestown story and seeing the hundreds of children's coffins that came back from Guyana motivated him to create a training company that teaches children how to identify and protect themselves
    from predators.

    I asked him what he thinks of the TSA's policy of commanding its employees to strip search and conduct full body "pat downs" of small children.

    I specifically asked him his opinion of the TSA
    advising that young children be told that these officially sanctioned intrusions of their bodies are a game.

    Wooden's answer follows...


    === The TSA has crossed the line ===

    As a national child personal safety expert, I submit the TSA
    crosses the line when it allows the patting down of children for
    security reasons, cloaked as a game.

    The most recent Gallup Poll on childhood abuse revealed that in just one
    year, more than a million children were sexually and physically abused.
    Along the same lines, the American Medical Association has referred to the
    rape and sexual exploitation of women and children as a "violent and silent
    epidemic." Men increasingly reveal how they were sexually assaulted in
    their youth, by a rainbow of sexual predators, usually someone they knew.

    Given that background - and the number of survivors that have been sexually
    abused and exploited - it is beyond comprehension how the Homeland Security
    Agency's TSA can conceive of such insensitive and invasive security checks
    on our children and youth. Even worse, they want to depict pat downs of
    children as a game! As an investigative researcher/reporter who has
    interviewed well over a thousand sexual offenders, I can document that one
    of the favorite ploys to lure children and youth into sexual abuse is to
    disguise it as a "game."

    How can experts working at the TSA be so incredibly misinformed and
    misguided to suggest that full body pat downs for children be portrayed as a
    game?!To do so is completely contrary to what we in the sexual abuse
    prevention field have been trying to accomplish for the past thirty years.
    Such policy could essentially desensitize children to inappropriate touch
    and ultimately make it easier for sexual offenders to prey on our children.
    This policy is also incredibly insensitive to the countless victims who have
    already been traumatized by unwanted touching in their lives and could be
    re-traumatized by such pat-downs.

    In my judgment as a lifelong journalist and child advocate, such unapprised
    actions by the TSA borders on criminal negligence and, legally speaking,
    "deliberate indifference to the future emotional well being of millions of
    victims and the potential for far too many more young victims."

  6. NOTSA--

    That's heavy stuff. Might have been better on the other post about TSA.

    This was just meant for giggles about a bad situation.

  7. The media is taking a huge turn on this one, MSNBC & CNN both are in a condition the masses to accept mode. Some of them are blaming it on the republicans scheme to go against Obama.
    What the hell, that's worked before.
    MSNBC had a TSA guy on with the man whose urostomy bag was messed up. He looked like a goon, said little, but did say that we should all just "accept it."
    Accept my middle finger salute jocko.
