Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Good for the Muslims!

Whatever you call it, you must admit that they seem to have a lot more of it than we do. We grumble to ourselves about the body scanners, but very few of us seem to be taking anything resembling a public stand against them; the ones who do, as far as I've seen, seem to be hair-on-fire radical libertarians.


Go on. How do you figure?

And also explain why being put on a no fly list is not a violation of their rights.

I understand the overall debate from both sides. Singling out this particular, isolated issue and not involving myself with the global debate, I'll voice this comment.

The Muslims can kiss my ass. I impose a Fatwa against Muslims thinking they can fly US airlines with bombs in their shoes and underwear while trying to dictate how we detect the pathetic pieces of schit.If their law opines Muslims are now prohibited from being body scanned in airports, it's one law of theirs I totally support and I will personally contribute to the placement of body scans in all airports. In fact, I would be cool if Muslims were the only folks singled out for the body scans in airports.
I also impose another Fatwa against Muslims thinking we should give a schit about their laws.
You say my pitch is emotional rather than rational and I say yeah, you're right. Fuggem and the carpets and camels they rode in on!!

Where does the Constitution or Bill of Rights guarantee your right to fly?

Anybody else see the disconnect here?

If the images are automatically deleted, then where did the images at www.tsa.gov come from?

You have the whole concept of the Constitution backwards.

More interesting would be your explanation as to why you erroneously believe it is a right. Indulge me.....your spins provide for a enjoyable escape from reality.

Now all we need is for the Pope in Rome to declare Ex Cathedra that passing through nude body scanners is a mortal sin against public modesty, forbidden to Catholics under pain of excommunication.

Of course there's a right to fly.

To be more specific, everyone has the right to conduct whatever consensual business transactions he likes with anyone he chooses. The Constitution pretends to give Congress the power to prohibit a very few well-specified business transactions, but it certainly doesn't give Congress any power, pretended or not, to tell airlines which fares they may carry and which they may not.

Therefore, it's flatly unconstitutional for the TSA to step between passengers and airlines the way it has.

If the airlines themselves chose to use all sorts of scanning equipment on their customers, that'd be a whole different story: it'd be part of the consensual business transaction. But the State has no authority to mandate it.

I read that in the paper this morning.. Aw, what a shame.. Well, then they can walk.. Or drive... Or stay in their own dang country..

Do you have the right to go to a restaurant or a gun shop?

Yeah, but he won't, because he doesn't have the balls.

PS Recently, a male movie star from India, after passing through one of these, was approached by two female security workers with a printout of his naked body from the scanner, and asked him to place his signature at the bottom. He was quite upset by it, and reported it to the press.

I don't live in Barakistan.
