    Yes, TSA is a terrorist organization. Its entire purpose is to frighten travelers for political purposes — the very definition of terrorism — by subjecting them to unwanted and unjustifiable searches of their property and persons, sometimes assaulting them sexually or otherwise in the process, sometimes abducting them.

This is the dumbest thing I've read in weeks. It's the sort of idiotic hyper-exaggeration that makes me never want to read any piece from this website again.

I genuinely don't understand the anti-TSA argument, if someone with sense wants to take a moment to lay it out for me. If we didn't screen people who got on planes, how would we stop people from bringing guns on board? I don't particularly want to fly in a plane that has a potentially hostile firearm bouncing around.

EDIT: I have to go further and question whether any of you who shared this article actually read it. Seriously.
