- Below is the USMC message regarding the
"search" done on a US Marine casket escort detail at an airport.
-
- I think we are in serious trouble when
the flights folks are on/going on are being "protected" by idiots
like these. There probably won't be any news coverage on this, unless the
media thinks they can make President Bush look bad by reporting it.
-
- The TSA, like the BATF, is a rogue agency
populated by total incompetents. They need to be disbanded for actions
such as this.
-
- Subject: Fw: TSA Morons!!
-
- This is enough to make ones blood boil!!
