Is it enough for a company to claim that they are committed to: Integrity in everything they do; Respecting the dignity and differences of others; Owning their actions and learning from their mistakes if they’re unwilling to acknowledge their shortcomings and take verifiable concrete action to prevent future occurrences of discrimination and insensitivity of their consumers?

What responsibility has Dollar General taken to address very serious allegations last year, of exploitation of their Suppliers Chinese Workers?

TSA to Retired Army Commanding Officer: There’s Something Suspicious Hanging From Between Your Legs

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

Travelers at Raleigh-Durham Intl Airport report being traumatized by TSA groping. Survivors of sexual assaults feel especially vulnerable–Rape Crisis Counselors say that the “pat-downs” by TSA Agents trigger post traumatic stress reactions, making rape survivors feel that they’ve been sexually abused again.

Tim Ely, a Retired Army Officer who once Commanded Military Police at Guantanamo, Cuba filed an online complaint following a 20 November, confrontation at Raleigh-Durham.

After a TSA Agent groped around his genitals from in front and behind, Ely challenged the TSA wannabe cop to explain what sort of an anomaly turned up on his XXX Naked Body Scan to trigger such an intimate body pat-down.

The TSA Agent told Ely, that the XXX Naked Body Scanner revealedĀ  something suspicious hanging from between his legs.

When is all this insanity going to end? Will the incoming 112th Congress have the fortitude to cut-off funding to the TSA and stop this senseless intrusive screening process?

TSA Agents In Phoenix Abduct Woman Over Breast Milk

Friday, December 3rd, 2010

Stacey Armato says that she was humiliated and confined to a glass cage by Phoenix Harbor Airport TSA Agents and left there for an hour—out of pure spite.

The incident occurred because she had breast milk in containers and didn’t want to radiate them by putting the containers through the X-Ray machine—TSA own rules consider breast milk to be “liquid medication” that may be passed through Security with just a visual inspection.

Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO: TSA Groping Just “Love Pats”

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

Senator Claire McCaskil, D-MO says that sexually assaulting passengers are just “love pats.”

TSA Airport Screeners have no shame and not only should they be criminally charged for sexually assaulting passengers but its time for Congress to do their job and provide oversight to this controversial agency or in the alternative repeal the 2001 legislation which created the TSA—Should President Obama be unwilling to defend the Constitutional Rights of Americans, Congress should consider defunding the TSA and start over.

Amarillo TSA Agents Exposed Woman’s Breasts and Laughed –The Australian

Despite a deluge of complaints over the intrusiveness of TSA Airport Screening Procedures, the Obama Administration has chosen to disregard protecting the Civil Rights of Americans and has permitted the TSA to chip away at the 4th Amendment which guarantees that persons and their property shall be secured against unreasonable search and seizure by the government.

XXX Full Body Imaging Scanners Purchased With Stimulus Money

TSA wannabe cops at LAX doing busy work

Two months ago, Dept of Homeland Security Chief Janet Napolitano with the diversion of Economic Stimulus Dollars–Slush Fund (that was supposedly used to create all those promised “shovel ready jobs” I digress) purchased hundreds of XXX Full Body Imaging Scanners–unsure how they helped to stimulate the economy?

If TSA wasn’t intrusive enough before, their newly established enhanced security groping of passengers and flights crews have been met with mounting resistance.

Who gave the government the right to trample on the 4th Amendment which guarantees that individuals are to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects from unreasonable search by agents of the federal government?

Black Panthers & Election Day

FOX 29 Philadelphia ran into a new Black Panther Party Member, campaigning for Democrats just outside the same voting place where voter intimidation was reported two years ago.

Pennsylvania Election Code says that no one may campaign, post campaign signs or distribute material within 10 feet of the entrance to a polling place.

Why wasn’t this Black Panther instructed to move away from the entrance to the Philly polling place?
