The American Socialist Federation of Government Employees, a branch of the International Union of Civil Servants and Collective Administrators, has launched a formal grievance with the State Committee for the Safety of Public Employees against the USSA's Transportation Safety Administration due to the removal of ‘nude scanners' from State airports.

If the scanners are not returned to all airports, the Union plans to appeal the matter to the Central Committee of the Party, since the union believes the TSA is violating the Civil Rights of TSA employees by subjecting them to increased danger if they cannot closely inspect the nude bodies of passengers.

TSA to remove controversial X-ray scanners

If the inquiry finds that airport employees are at greater risk of physical assault, or stress and anxiety due to fear of physical assault, the scanners may be returned, or TSA agents may be then given the right to strip search all passengers coming through USSA airports.

Although no TSA agent has ever been the victim of terrorism (most terrorism attacks occur while the aircraft is airborne where TSA agents are not stationed), agents are routinely harassed by unruly and rude passengers. Many TSA agents believe that the body scanners are helpful in reducing passenger conflict by putting workers and peasants in their place.

TSA agents have also expressed how viewing the images of nude passengers is extremely gratifying, knowing that the public is cooperating with their personal needs for safety. The union is contemplating, for added safety, scanning all inbound passengers disembarking from aircraft.

Comrades, cooperate with TSA agents! Allow them unfettered access!

Faithfully submitted to the Collective of the People's Cube,

Proletarian Red-noser

Comrade Nomenklatura-climber: Does this mean the exploited TSA workers will be forced to watch only internet porn on government computers during working hours like they use to before the nude scanners were deployed?? Tragic!

This person will be held ... uh, for further ... questioning!

Union rules say it's my turn for the pat down and cavity search.

Removal of scanners will force TSA to strip search all passengers on all flights for our safety. This will result in longer delays, "special handling" will be provided if passengers meet a certain "Terror Suspect Profile" [TSP].
Passengers will be treated like cattle in most cases, depending on the preferences of the agents.Name tags will be removed and agents wear ski masks toprevent retaliation.

Comrades,
Don't forget that the TSA has already made special allowance for 'frequent fellow travellers' in the TSA Pre✓™ Program, which...

allows select frequent flyers of participating airlines and members of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Trusted Traveler programs who are flying on participating airlines, to receive expedited screening benefits during domestic travel. Eligible participants use dedicated screening lanes for screening benefits which include leaving on shoes, light outerwear and belts, as well as leaving laptops and 3-1-1 compliant liquids in carry-on bags.

Given the Dulles Airport Decision, we can soon look forward to preferred treatment for Party membersand others of us with Additional Equality!

I feel compelled, as Commissar of Travel Budgeting, to point out that if the TSA is insisting on strip searching every flight passenger, Comrade Father Prog Theocritus' travel expenses are going to rise exponentially. We must increase our fair share tax on luxury items.

I, R.O.C.K. in the USSA, do hereby protest on the grounds of sexual discrimination!!

As a 100% heterosexual full blooded American male, I find it grossly - and sexually - unfair that homosexual passengers get to be groped by members of their own sex gender, while I, who am not at all attracted to those male TSA hunks, am forced to endure humiliating body searches by them! Fairness and equality would dictate that I, as a heterosexual man (and yes, I admit freely that as a white heterosexual male I have no actual rights) should be searched, fondled, and groped by a woman, giving me the same pleasure in said fondling and groping as what gay passengers get to enjoy!!

Dear Comrade Rock,

I recommend that you join the Party, so that you can take advantage of their Victim Reassignment Procedures offered by the Party's Directorate for Social Grievance Affairs. You could easily be moved into a Native American Bisexual status only a few dozen forms and an outpatient procedure. Plus, the latter will be covered by the Affordable Healthcare Act without a copay!

Comrade Climber, I am, of course - and have always been - of the Party, by the Party, and for the Party.

Nevertheless, I shall look into these "Victim Reassignment Procedures" at my local Directorate for Social Grievance Affairs. Frankly, the idea hadn't occurred to me, as I generally avoid the area around the DSGA building - the lines are ridiculously long and frequently pour out onto the actual street, covering entire city blocks with masses of quivering, fully victimized, humanity.

I shall get in line. AND, I do of course have my ObamaCard™.

Look to Ward Churchill and Elizabeth Warren for fine examples of this procedure (results may vary).

Which may mean an equal distribution of casino windfalls and free dental.

Truly comrades, we are living the good life:

Comrades,

The solution is simple: Just dress up like Mustafa Allahoo Wackbar, cry discrimination and racial bigotry and they'll not only leave you alone, they'll even upgrade you to first class.

GAIA Minister Neytiri Naked Truth Warning to Progressives re TSA Scanners:

As we all know, the TSA has been tinkering with the software controllng the TSA scanners in an effort to eliminate the "nudity" effect of the scanned image seen by our eye-straining TSA Unionn Members.

The goal was to identify the true status of the person being scanned but without creating the "nudity" effect, so the TSA Truth-in-Scanning Division overhauled the software so that the scanners reveal the true status of the person scanned but eliminate the "nudity" effect by re-imposing on the image whatever attire is being worn by the person being scanned.

However, during my last trip through an airport, I discovered a hidden danger to progressives, so I thereby warn all comrades to opt for the strip-search (it can be fun if you just simply approach it in the right frame of mind-- think of being groped by a governmental agent as mere proof of the government's affection for us). Why? Because my scann revealed my true identity, and we can never be absolutely certain that our loyal TSA Scanners' Union may have been infiltrated by a few lecherous Tea-Partiers.
