Video: Our government frisks innocent, 6-year-old girl

Posted on April 13, 2011 by kwilder

KW: If you watch this video — which it is hard to do — you will see how the techniques the TSA uses to convince the child to succombe to this search, and feel assured, could be modeled by any child molester. This is very bad for our children, and our country. (In some places […]

Yesterday’s Speedo Is Today’s Introduction…

Posted on November 24, 2010 by kwilder

It’s still a little early to see whether National Opt Out Day will affect the TSA screenings, or give a message to the Obama Adminstration and Homeland Security about Americans’ right to travel in dignity. Though, there is an interesting story about a meeting on Capitol Hill on Monday, which makes me think the politicians […]

Posted on November 17, 2010 by kwilder

Time to make big changes with air travel

Posted on December 28, 2009 by kwilder

It is amazing, the narrow box which elected officials, security officials, and the media use to evaluate what should be the response to a terrorist nearly blowing up another airplane.
