According to Janet “Big Sis” Napolitano, Homeland Security Secretary, the intimate, intrusive actions that average Americans are experiencing at the hand of the TSA in our airports could be put in place on buses, trains, and boats.

Big Sis’ excuse is that [Islamic] Terrorists will continue to look for cracks in America’s security, making tighter security standards necessary.

Appearing Monday night on The Charlie Rose Show on PBS, Big Sis said:

[Terrorists] are going to continue to probe the system and try to find a way through.

 I think the tighter we get on aviation, we have to also be thinking now about going on to mass transit or to trains or maritime. So, what do we need to be doing to strengthen our protections there?

It is no coincidence that she made these comments one day before one of the nation’s busiest travel days. She made these comments in spite of a widespread public outcry over newly implemented airport screening measures that involve intimate body scanning and pat downs.

Of course, Napalitano justified the new security measures as necessary to the stopping of terrorists. Funny, Israel does not use them, and they are a prime target, also.

In response to the question: “What will they [terrorists] be thinking in the future?”, Napolitano said that her agency is now looking into ways to make other popular means of travel safer for passengers and commuters.

Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, introduced legislation this past September in favor of testing of body scanners at some federal buildings.

The nekkid body scanners are already being used at a Florida Federal Courthouse, where some 35,000 images have already been saved.

John Pistole, who heads the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), has been hitting the cable News channels defending the new measures.

On Monday, Pistole said that while he understood everyone’s concerns (yeah, right), the new measures would remain in place.

Members of both the House and the Senate have complained that the public should have been informed before the pat-downs and body-imaging techniques were put into practice.

Because of the outcry by American citizens, any move to implement new security screening measures for other modes of mass transportation is going to be met with a lot of resistance.

According to Big Sis, we just need to analyze the poor widdle Islamic Terrorists and try to figure out what makes them so mean:

The long-term is, how do we get out of this having to have an ever-increasing security apparatus because of terrorists and a terrorist attack? I think having a better understanding of what causes someone to become a terrorist will be helpful.

We don’t know much. (I’ll say.) If you were to try and devise a template about what connects this terrorist to this terrorist and how they were raised and what schools they went to and their socioeconomic status, or this or that, it’s all over the map.

I’ll give you a clue…STUDY ISLAM AND PROFILE.

I think there’s some important work that’s being done on that but…the Secretary of Homeland Security cannot wait for that.

This administration, time and time again, has shown that they perceive the American public as a bunch of ignorant sheeple, to be cared for from cradle to grave and led around by their shepherd’s crook.

The Administration did not announce these new security measures, because they thought that Americans would just passively go along with them.

Remember the story about putting a frog in a pan of water and placing it on a stove?   The story explains that if you turn the heat up gradually, the frog adjusts to the conditions and stays in the pan, until it is eventually par-boiled.

That’s what is happening to us, America.  Obama and his bunch expected us to simply adjust to these new security measures without saying a word. 

Between the unwanted usurpation of America’s wishes that is Obamacare, to Obama’s new touchy feely Draconian Security measures, he and his administration are attempting to lead the country around like a bunch of ignorant sheep.

What they did not count on and still do not understand, is the American spirit.  We are a stubborn lot, or in Biblical terms, a stiff-necked people.

The spirit that flowed through our pioneer ancestors, still resides in the people of this nation.  That’s what sets us apart for other nations.  That spirit of freedom that caused America to be carved from a hostile wilderness, the faith that Americans can overcome any obstacle that is thrown against us, thanks to the inalienable rights bestowed upon us by Our Creator.  Our rights do not come from some totalitarian idiot who insists that we share our wealth and give up our freedom for the greater good of the state.

This Administration can double-down on Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals all they want.  They can preach government expansion and anti-capitalism until they are blue in the face.  The American people have awakened and aren’t buying it.  Please reference November 2nd, 2010, if you do not believe me.  That’s why President Barack Hussein Obama’s popularity has hit 39% in the Zogby Poll this week.

And that’s also why the symbol of our country is not a frog.  It’s an eagle.
