Obama likes it when the TSA feels up your crotch.
Doesn't this sound familiar? A president asks his appointed, serve-at-his-pleasure subordinates to back him up in saying that what he's doing is legal, necessary, and indeed the only way to protect America. Where, oh where have we heard that before?
Our system is broken. Apparently all we can elect to high office anymore are good-looking twits who can read well off teleprompters.
The president, while noting that he didn't have personal experience with the new security measures, said he understands "people's frustrations. He said he's asked TSA for assurances that "what we're doing is the only way to assure the American people's safety." He said that he has also told the federal agency's administrators that they must consider whether there are "less intrusive" ways to obtain the same goals.
