But it would be very unfortunate if, should they win this battle, passengers abandoned the quest for more decent traveling conditions.

Groping toward Gomorrah

Orange County Register
by Steven Greenhut

11/21/10

The Transportation Security Administration knows with 100 percent certainty that John Tyner, the 31-year-old Oceanside man who refused to submit to one of those embarrassing body scans or be searched by TSA groin-grabbers during his recent attempt to fly from San Diego to South Dakota, poses no security threat to the United States or anywhere else. He is not a terrorist, just a citizen frustrated by the growing intrusiveness of TSA screening procedures. Nevertheless, after Tyner refused to complete his screening process, a TSA official told him that the agency is likely to sue him. If it did, Tyner could face $11,000 in fines and a possible ban from air travel ? not because he did anything wrong, but because he refused to submit to the authorities, which used to be a proud tradition in our society...
