[link to www.usatoday.com] Napolitano: Scanners are safe, pat-downs discreet As part of our layered approach, we have expedited the deployment of new Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) units to help detect concealed metallic and non-metallic threats on passengers. These machines are now in use at airports nationwide, and the vast majority of travelers say they prefer this technology to alternative screening measures. AIT machines are safe, efficient, and protect passenger privacy. They have been independently evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, who have all affirmed their safety. And the weapons and other dangerous and prohibited items we've found during AIT screenings have illustrated their security value time and again. Rigorous privacy safeguards are also in place to protect the traveling public. All images generated by imaging technology are viewed in a walled-off location not visible to the public. The officer assisting the passenger never sees the image, and the officer viewing the image never interacts with the passenger. The imaging technology that we use cannot store, export, print or transmit images. If an anomaly is detected during screening with AIT, if an alarm occurs after a passenger goes through a walk-through metal detector, or if a passenger opts out of either of these screening methods, we use pat-downs to help detect hidden and dangerous items like the one we saw in the failed terrorist attack last Christmas Day. Pat-downs have long been one of the many security measures used by the U.S. and countries across the world to make air travel as secure as possible. They're conducted by same-gender officers, and all passengers have the right to request private screening and have a traveling companion present during the screening process. In the last two weeks we have also implemented a number of measures to strengthen our defenses against an attack using cargo shipments to the U.S. It really is! I never drink water, fish fuck in it.

A few of the blog comments from the article/poll. Ms Napolitano, you are a public employee. Appointed, not elected. As such, you have never had to ‘prove your worthiness” to have such a position. As titular head of TSA, you are the one whose face the public places on TSA. Your article in USA Today speaks of the ‘safety’ of the AIT systems. As an engineer with experience with X-ray systems (E.G.&G. Astrophysics, Los Alamos Labs), I can state that your information is absolutely incorrect. Ionizing radiation is to be avoided at all costs, and the effects are cumulative. You state “The imaging technology that we use cannot store, export, print or transmit images.” That is a blatant lie. Those functions are built in, originally intended for system diagnostics, they none-the-less are active and functional at all times. “commitment to be one step ahead of those who seek to do us harm.” This is a lie. It is a knee-jerk reaction, not a pro-active solution. Anyone familiar with pyrotechnics technology would tell you that there are easier, faster, more efficient and less invasive techniques for PREVENTING ‘nasty’ devices from getting into airports, much less on board aircraft. M. Napolitano, you have repeatedly demonstrated your lack of understanding of the basic situation, preferring to build a cadre of poorly-trained, inept, and often criminal employees rather than adopting the proven techniques and technologies that provide Israel with the safest air travel in the world. In short, Madame, your pandering to your group of pedophiles and perverts, calling them ‘professionals,’ only makes you look, well, like a Madame, of the lowest caliber. Pity. One would have hoped more for you. Are your parents proud? Unless I have to travel farther than a six hour drive, I will drive. Nowadays, I have to show up two hours early, stand in a 45 minute line, submit to a groping, not bring my regular shaving kit, wait for hours in uncomfortable chairs until the plane leaves. Then I sit in a tiny, cramped seat with no leg room, pay extra to check any baggage, and then walk another 2 miles once the plane lands to get to the ground transport. I only fly any more when I absolutely have to (probably 12 times a year). Guess what, the terrorists won. It really is! I never drink water, fish fuck in it. W.C.

Robert Ingersoll "If anyone wants to know how God feels, it's a warm light as if the sun is poking through dark clouds and lifting your spirits with pure joy." |

These people are simply criminals and should be locked up for life. Yep, let's see what they've done so far in the way of GSE's and agencies. How Many GSEs Exist? At present, there are seven GSEs. Three of the GSEs — the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (Farmer Mac) — are investor owned; the others — the Federal Home Loan Bank System and the Farm Credit System — are owned cooperatively by their borrowers.8 What Are the Differences Between GSEs and Agencies? GSEs are instrumentalities, not agencies, of the United States. This distinction is both legally and administratively important. The federal government’s control over an institution differs significantly depending upon whether that institution is an agency or instrumentality. An agency (as defined in Title 5, Part 1 of the United States Code) is managed directly through the federal management hierarchy. As a general rule, an agency is subject to all general management laws and regulations provided in the United States Code unless it is exempted from such coverage either in its enabling statute, or by virtue of being part of an exempted class of agency. Thus, an agency is subject to federal appointment of its senior officers (often requiring Senate confirmation), to civil service and federal procurement laws, and to the federal budget and other direct federal management controls, unless exempted. An instrumentality of government, on the other hand, is a privately owned institution not subject to any of the general management laws and regulations unless so indicated in its enabling legislation (charter). An instrumentality may be assigned limited prerogatives in its charter (e.g., immunity from state taxation) normally associated with the government’s sovereign authority. In return for this limited assignment of governmental powers, an instrumentality cannot, on its own authority, alter the charter or conduct activities contrary to the intent of the charter. Thus, a GSE is supervised, but not directly managed, by the federal government. Today, GSEs primarily act as financial intermediaries to assist borrowers in housing and agriculture. Although they are privately owned, they benefit financially from The following 8 pages are in this category, out of 8 total.

Yup, just a single move in the bigger game. Movement is set to be restricted severely, I believe. The TSA violating multiple constitutionally protected, creator given rights (Amendments 4 & 5 jump out); "truck" scanners in Georgia (all vehicles next?); Amtrak already is government controlled so rail travel is already suspect. What does that leave? Boats? Here's where I'll get called crazy but I feel the Carnival Splendor incident was the opening act in the script to take down the cruise industry. Unlike Pastor Manning, I don't believe it was a terrorist/pirate attack but the ship may well have been intentionally sabotaged. Now is the time of year that a lot of cruise providers will be announcing cruise schedule and ship assignments for next summer and this "flameless fire" will be fresh in the minds of many would-be travellers.
