No. It is Obama. I realize this is just killing 'progressives' but you need to open your eyes. I flew dozens of times when Bush was in office. I resented having to take off my shoes but it was less jarring than experiences I had in Europe long ago in my backpacking days (tackled, basically, at a remote spot on the Swiss-German border, for breaking a line and stepping across a dainty little chain I mistakenly thought was there for the purposes of forming the queue ) or the indignities one endured transiting through the old airport in Seoul back in the late 80s, when the place was still under martial law .

Klein 2 :
LOL. From the same article:
"Michael Steel, a spokesman for Mr. Boehner, said the Republican leader had neither requested nor received special treatment at the airport security line."
Boehner has pledged to fly civilian, unlike Speaker Pelosi, who had a private military plane flying her and family from SF to DC.
Thinks Princess Nancy gets a pat-down?

And Clinton leftover Norm Mineta, then Transportation Secretary, is why that creation was a mistake.
Michael Smerconish, testifying in June 2004: " Time and again Secretary Mineta has made clear his refusal to consider personal characteristics in the war on terrorism. In particular, I note his Statement to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights on October 12, 2001, and his speech in Rochester, New York on that same date. Secretary Mineta was active in the aftermath of 9/11 in dictating to the airlines his view of the world. In the months after 9/11, the DOT issued several memos to the airlines, warning them against “profiling” passengers. "
Like a typical sentimental Lib he is all about "equal outcomes", in this case a suicidal proposition.
Any condemnation of Al Qaeda? Naaah, that would put Lefty on the same side as patriotic Americans and the rest of the civilized world. Any idea how much air traffic goes through the US each day? Bush was supposed to personally monitor each airport?
Rush "Limpbaugh" ? (Arent we clever.) Talk radio personalities do not write our laws. These measures are from the very top. Obama and his control freak party of Nanny State enthusiasts need to be held responsible for what this is going to do to air travel and tourism.

If you lived through the "Liberal" protest in the 80's of Reagan's proposed missile defense system to see a far Left icon like Obama championing this deal as an achievement of some sort in foreign policy is quite amusing.

Priceless. Yeah, the most "liberal" member of the Senate is going to go to the middle on this? Since he and his administration ordered these measures that would be another admission of failure, like the Obama Care waivers they are now tossing out left and right to any "favored" company or union big enough to raise politically inconvenient stink on the whole mess.

Privatization is the answer to airport security. But that means free markets, free minds, choice, accountability and personal - individual - responsibility come into play, and these are anathema to the control freak collectivist mindset Obama's socialist mentors instilled in him.

What of their consequences? North Korea is as big a problem as ever. WW2 era Nazi propaganda broadcast throughout the Mohammedan mid east is said by some scholars to have been a major factor in the rise of the new rabidly anti-Israel and anti-Jewish policy that govts in that region have made official, e.g. the Hamas Charter calling for Israel's destruction. The battlefields are empty or long since changed, but that is not the same as saying we have peace and goodwill on all sides.

In the end this means more people driving, more pollution, more "global warming", and waaaay more disaffection with the Obama regime, not that unintended consequences ever bother utopians and collectivists.

What - from Saudi, Iran, the UAE, "Palestine" and probably even China, as it flows to Pakistan and then to Taliban and al Qaeda scum in Afghanistan?

Hard to believe the state religion in Pakistan still has apologists on the multi-culti Left in the West, even after something as barbaric as the death penalty for blasphemy.

Texas governor Rick Perry is looking and sounding very presidential :
" How about we take all those TSA agents and put them on the border with Mexico where they can do some security there? That’s where we need security substantially more than in our airports and what we’re seeing out of this bunch. ”

Tougher on his fellow Americans sent to DC and on Arizona than he is on Russia or Iran. This too will backfire.

Klein2 "As the controversy becomes more political, pay special attention to the part, everybody, where some people remain suspect and others are given a pass as loyal Americans. We already have pilots, TSA employees, and rich people on the side of loyal Americans. The rest of us are suspect."
"Rich" people, TSA Union employees and pilots are what - all the same voting bloc?

Luckily, our patriotic progressive betters. always seeking to strengthen America, have developed something called Political Correctness. Since one certain religious group on the planet is far,far more prone to violence than the rest of the world's peoples the US military, law officials, cops, judges and even private citizens are encouraged to use their rational faculties , look into the backgrounds of such people, profile behavior (and even appearance) and then take the steps needed to protect ourselves. Amazing, isn't it! Why, it's like they have read history and discovered that a surprisingly large number of the world's democracies perished more or less from collective suicide dressed up as political movements which would elevate collective over individual, or else from a loss of the values that won freedom from tyranny in the first place.
