Yeah, but I'm sure everything is on the up-and-up. Politicians tend to be very honest people, especially ones from Chicago.

Of course, the owner of the company who makes the backscatter machines being a personal friend to the President and accompanying him on vacations probably doesn't have anything to do with that.

Do you have some supporting documentation on the personal relationship?

I'll have to dig it back up, but it was documented a while back when Obama went on that huge overseas vacation and everyone was all up in arms about the price tag. The backscatter guy was one of his personal entourage that joined him on the trip, then the scanners suddenly became mandatory at every airport in America. Like I said, I'm sure it was strictly coincidental and there was no corruption involved in any way.

I'm sure there haven't been and won't be any political contributions coming from those folks, either.

Well....so much for common sense.

Before the Tuesday's scheduled vote US Attorney John E. Murphy wrote to Joe Straus, speaker of the state House, Senator David Dewhurst, president of the Senate, and Patsy Shaw, secretary of the Senate, basically reprising the Constitutional argument. But Murphy went farther, suggesting that if the bill were passed the TSA would have no choice but to cancel flights going into Texas in the interest of public safety.

Big Brother has spoken....and he's told us all to sit down and shut the fuck up.

America. Fuck Yeah. :/

I'll still wait for confirmation of the "facts" before coming to a conclusion, thank you very much

The one thing that is clear regarding both Democrat and Republican presidents: Both are more than willing to sell out the American public's rights for their private agendas.

Hardly. I found that in less than 10 seconds. It neither mentions a 'personal friendship' between the two, nor does it remark on the two of them going on 'vacations' together. It discusses a Presidential trade visit to India.

Shmike is right, I remember this shit.
