It is part of a psychological conditioning to permanently program people into accepting it as a permanent part of daily life.

Remember the Underwear Bomber?

Why did he wait until the plane had landed to set off his underwear?

I have a simple theory regarding this scenario. If the Underwear Bomber had been allowed to detonate his underwear, Mainstream Media would not have had something to show people on TV to scare them into accepting the Full Body Scanners. Think about it. If the Underwear had blowed up over the Atlantic, Mainstream Media would not have been able to keep repeating the words "Underwear Bomber" in your face for several weeks.

Remember how almost every state in the nation was opposed to the Full Body Scanners? Then all of a sudden there was a complete 360 turn around when Mainstream Media began to bombard the public with images of the explosive Underwear.

If there had been no Underwear to show on TV, there wouldn't have been no place for Full Body Scanners at airports.

It was known that the scanners had already been manufactured and were sitting in storage accumulating dust because almost all of the 50 states did not want them.

Original Message A Florida firefighter says he couldn't believe it when Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents gave "intrusive" pat-downs to passengers including kids getting off an Amtrak train in Savannah, Georgia earlier this month.

Lt. Brian Gamble, 38, of Leesburg, Florida, posted video of the incident on YouTube. And the TSA is now apologizing.

Gamble, who also works part-time as a travel agent, tells AOL Travel News he was bringing a small group that included other firefighters and policemen to Savannah for a Valentine's Day getaway. They were among 30 or 40 people getting off the train when he says TSA officers ordered everyone into the terminal.

"They sent us all into a roped-off holding area and said 'Y'all are going to be searched,'" Gamble says. "We were getting off the train. This didn't make sense."

Once in the area, the group was guarded while TSA officers began doing what Gamble says were "intrusive" pat-downs.

When he saw a family with young kids in the lineup, he took out his camera and started filming. He does not know the identity of the family.

"They were in front of us. They (the TSA agents) started lifting their shirts and wanding them."

Gamble's wife, Traci, 38, and a female friend were also searched and he says female TSA officers made them lift their shirts up to their midriffs and patted their bras.

"One guy went through (Traci's) hand luggage and smelled her perfume and made comments about it smelling good. It was just not professional. It was just weird," Gamble says.

"My wife was livid," he adds. "We thought this is silly, we are being harassed by the TSA."
