Testical Squeezing Authority (TSA) Update

paul lorinczi says thumbs up

This week, I did receive my response from Senator Dick Lugar.paul lorinczi says thumbs up

It will be a sad day when Senator Lugar no longer represents the State of Indiana. He is one of the finest men I have had the pleasure to meet. His legacy will forever be a positive one, not only for Indiana, but for the world as a whole. I-465 should be renamed after him. The State should put up a statue to him. He is the only politician I have met in public that was present when talking to me.

I have written to his office many times and always get an answer.

Here is the difference between Lugar and anyone else I have written – he addresses the issue. He does not always agree with me. But, he always addresses the issue.

In the case of my letter regarding the Testical Squeezing Authority (TSA), he says, “I agree that our policies must strike a careful balance between security and individual freedoms and privacy. A number of recently implemented TSA security measures have caused some disruptions, inconveniences, and privacy concerns. Important questions have been raised about the ultimate effectiveness and appropriateness of these procedures.” In the meantime, “I have taken the liberty of forwarding a copy of your letter directly to the TSA and have requested a response.”

For anyone reading this who would like to represent your state in Washington, this is how it is done. (Although, now that my letter was forwarded, I guess my testes will get a squeezing).

Update: Testical Squeezing Authority (TSA)

December 8, 2010 By Leave a Comment

I got my response from Evan Bayh’s office.  I am not surprised by it. On most issues I have written tohim, I always get a form letter. He did not disappoint here. A good old fashion form letter that does not really say anything other than, “I support security and security is important to our safety.” blah…blah…blah…..

Granted, Mr. Bayh is the outgoing Senator from Indiana and I guess eyeing a run to replace our current Governor here in Indiana.

Dear Mr. Lorinczi:

Thank you for contacting me about improving airport security.  I appreciate your thoughts and concerns on this important issue.

Since, the events of September 11th we must face terrorism and move forward to create a more safe and secure world.  We need to ensure that we protect our communities against every possible threat.  It is extremely important to take steps toward improving the security of our nation’s air transportation system.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was created by the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (P.L. 107-71) in response to the attacks on September 11th.  The TSA is now under the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security.  The TSA is now solely responsible for the security pre-screening of passengers and luggage as well as being responsible for Flight Marshals and other security precautions.

Recently, the TSA has enacted several enhanced passenger screening measures in order to address several new security threats.  These measures include the use of full-body scanning technology as well as updated pat-down methods.  As airport security policy continues to evolve, we must carefully balance the need to ensure passenger safety with the fundamental right to privacy that all Americans are entitled to.

Rest assured that I will continue to follow the matter of airport security closely and will keep your thoughts in mind if legislation is considered in the Senate.

Again, thank you for contacting me.  I hope the information I have provided has been helpful.  My website, http://bayh.senate.gov, can provide additional details about my work in the Senate, including legislation and state projects.  You can also sign up for occasional email updates.  I value your input and hope you will continue to keep me informed of the issues that matter to you.

Office of Senator Evan Bayh

Testical Squeezing Authority – TSA

Testical Squeezing Authority – TSA

Thank you SNL for a great laugh.  I was waiting for someone to put a parody up on the whole TSA buzz.  It appears that Washington is taking notice. There has been some agreement in backing down on some of the more aggressive pat-downs. I still think a complete overhaul and approach to the TSA needs to be examined.

It is not a privilege to fly on airplanes. For some, it is their jobs.

Let’s review a few things:

1. 1 year old-12 year old kids are not terrorist threats – no need for aggressive pat-downs.

2. 60+ old men and women with new body parts from Podunkville USA are not terrorist threats.

Chances are, you are looking for a pissed off young person between the ages of 18-35 who have been convinced that 100 virgins are waiting for them at the end of their mission.
