The guy filming is acting like a jerk. But private jerks don't scare me. Government thugs do. I'm sure King George thought Sam Adams, Patrick Henry and Thomas Paine should have just shut the hell up and OBEYED. They were such JERKS. Gregor -

The problem is, that while his overall point that our government is ignoring true terrorist threats and wasting time looking in the wrong places, possibly even in an attempt to 'dumb down the public and get citizens used to excessive control', is completely wasted by the fact that he purposely caused this situation himself by going out of his way to draw attention and act like a jackass. The truth is, he WANTED to draw this response and he did everything he could to invite it. In my opinion, he's no different than the Flying Imams, purposely staging suspicious events to draw a response, in order to prove a point that is then invalidated because of the fact that it was all staged. What is your suggestion? Are you suggesting that there should be NO security at airports? No bag checks? No searches? Are you suggesting that guys walking back and forth with a video camera filming security agents doing their job and asking absurd questions should be allowed? Really? This dude's game is no different than MSNBC staging fake incidents at NASCAR events. http://michellemalkin.com/2006/04/04/nbc-staging-the-news-again/ It's no different than when Green Helmet Guy is producing his famous fauxtography. http://michellemalkin.com/2006/08/10/fauxtography-watch/ If this doofus anarchist truly believes it's a good thing to allow people to go roaming around airports filming security checkpoints, then he's off his rocker. I don't really appreciate that security was pulled away from their watch to respond to some anarchist attempting to prove that security checkpoints at airports are really some undercover conspiracy to traffic child pornography or something. He purposely acted like a jackass in order to cause alarm, and then blamed security for doing exactly what they're trained to do, which is to stop crazy people from possibly killing us. Yes, he's a crazy person, or at least he acted like one. Honestly, if I had been walking by at the time, I would have probably been arrested for punching the $^#@^$## in the face. GROW UP! You embarrass us all and make sincere efforts to fight government overreach much tougher. This guy is a clown.

Their attitudes got worse once they gave them badges. I've had a few encounters where I've had to ask for the police to intervene due to inappropriate searches of my belongings. I've never had the body scanner as I've always refused it which all passengers have a right to do. What the public needs to do is demand a pat down search in a private room and shut down the lines instead of using the scanners.
