Can you please do something about those pesky strip-searchs at the airport next?
I see nothing wrong with those security procedures. Being that I have a pacemaker, I cannot go through metal detectors so I am always having to have a pat-down done in order to go through security checkpoints.

As I see it the only ones that should be exempt from going through the security scanners are those that have a medical exemption with the proper documentation.

Now need to back on topic concerning the thread, everyone does.

We have a 4th amendment right from unreasonable SEARCH and seizure. The TSA could easily follow the El-AL model and search only those people whom they have a reason to search allowing the rest of use our "peace and quiet enjoyment."

Let's not turn this into a political discussion. We know where that will end up.

I will refrain from any further posts in this thread regarding our freedom.

The same place as the BillGates thread? (I'm still a little lightheaded from that one. That was some good $h1t)

Post Season

In my fine state we have a 2 class system for basketball (Class A & Class B). Our Class B has district, then region, then state tournament. Our Class A systerm (bigger school districts) have Region then State tournaments. This year I received my 4th State tournament of my career. In the past I have worked more Class B basketball and have had 3 state tournaments, but this year I received the region and state for Class A. I must admit I am excited . I work quite a bit of JUCO and NAIA basketball, but haven't been able to secure a Class A H.S. tournament until this year.

Weekend is coming. So, maybe after his team plays again, we will get another chance to agree with him.

I have flown El Al and in and out of Ben Gurion airport. And let me just say there were PLENTY of screeners I wish would have chosen me for a pat down!

And now, the thread has come full circle............

I might not have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night or played a Dr. on TV, but if I've paid attention over these many months, I sure as heck know allot about this guys medical history.

I was clarifying why my thinking is what it is concerning the question asked.
