Now I'm getting pissed. NFL in cooperation with DHS orders enhanced pat downs.

[Hugo Chavez]

Under the new "enhanced" pat-down procedures, the NFL wants all 32 clubs to search fans from the ankles to the knees as well as the waist up.... The more thorough searches will spell longer lines for ticket-holding fans seeking entry to games... The league hopes fans will be "patient," says spokesman Brian McCarthy, and arrive earlier to games to avoid long, punishing lines.

I was looking forward to taking my daughter to football games, guess that's out  I was planning on going to a few games this year, not now.  I'm not letting some stranger touch my wife or daughter.  It won't be long before you can't do shit without some asshole security nazi wanting to touch your junk.

"Sir, thank you for cooperating with TSA regulations, but this is the 6th time you've been through security. You really don't need to come back here anymore."

NASHVILLE INT’L AIRPORT — A Wyoming man walked through a TSA checkpoint with a raging erection on Tuesday, daring TSA officers and even fellow passengers to give him an invasive pat down.

“I’m next,” Warren Kelvin, 34, screamed as he pushed to the front of the security line. According to TSA officials, Kelvin had ingested two Viagra and wore sweatpants without boxers for his Southwest flight from Nashville to Phoenix.

“I thought he was carrying a baton in his pants,” said Amanda Watershed, second shift supervisor of the A Terminal at Nashville International Airport. “Nope… That was his penis.”

Even though TSA officials allowed Kelvin to initially pass through security without the controversial pat down, the passenger on more than one occasion got back in line until he felt that he had been thoroughly inspected. Kelvin finally got the invasive pat down by 38-year-old officer Duncan Allbright after 80 minutes and four trips through security.

“Even after we let him pass through he kept walking out of the terminal and getting back in line,” said Watershed. “Finally, Duncan had to bite the bullet for everyone and do a thorough screening of him in a private [security] room.”

Allbright, a 14-year veteran of airport security, announced his retirement shortly after Kelvin boarded the plane. “I’m going home to take a shower and make love to my wife,” said Allbright as he got into his car. “This job isn’t for me. I’ve suddenly lost my passion for touching strangers.”

U.S Homeland Security director Janet Napolitano dismissed concerns that more TSA officers would quit or that more travelers would take similar measures to get their “jollies”. “I am hoping this is an isolated incident. If flights were a lot cheaper, I could see more people doing this,” said Napolitano, “but with the cost of airplane fuel rising, I don’t think $560 roundtrip is a bargain price to get fondled.”

Calls to TSA headquarters went unanswered, as everyone there is just exhausted.

That's a gag article, didn't really happen.

[Hugo Chavez]

hope the nfl enjoys the increased lawsuits and drop in ticket sales from this.

[Bindare_Dundat]

That is seriously fucked up shit.

[tu_holmes]

This is stupid... absolutely stupid.

Ticket sales won't plummet though... most people are just too stupid to care.

oh.  ... shit.

[Hugo Chavez]

really think so?  I don't think they'll "plummet" but go read through the comment section under the usa today story.  Other negative articles about this are hitting sports sites where at least half the comments don't look very positive tward the new rules.  I won't go now, I'm sure there will be others.

This is the way it will work out, if 5% less buy tickets, they'll just bump up the price to cover that loss.  So you'll pay more, probably more as the cost of screening will go up too. People will miss kickoff really pissing off more people and they'll be extra pissed that they have to show up early and wait through long lines.

I'm getting really sick of all this bullshit and Big Sis has said the goal is to eventually get this going for all shopping malls, concerts, trains etc...  The day is coming where you won't be able to travel anywhere without having to show your papers, be questioned or interrogated, scanned or felt up or some combo of those.  Doesn't sound very American to me. 

[Soul Crusher]

I'll report back later.   Going to JETS game.

[tonymctones]

dude after all the shit that has happend at games lately they were going to do something. They arent strip searching you, or making you go through a scanner. At Reliant they already made you go through a metal detector...

who cares about a metal detector.  I'd be fine with that.  What the hell is the point of searching you from your ankle to knee anyway?  What's that going to do?  The guy with the taser got trough with the increased pat downs in place.  Oh yea, it's one thing after another.  It's only a matter of time, they'll bust some dude with a dud underwear bomb and it'll be TSA style searches all the way just to watch the game.  The works.  What is to far?

Tony, what do you mean "after all the shit that has happened at games lately"  aside from the taser, what's all the shit you're talking about?  Pat downs won't stop fights or stop people from shooting eachother in the parking lot.  What has happened lately that pat downs will fix?

[240 is Back]

ah, but people can be drunk for these patdowns.

i welcome the cool stories that come out of this one!

Nothing different than any other week other than a chopper hovering around

so last year they were already patting down from ankle up at that stadium or are you saying they did not pat down from ankle up this time.  There's video showing they are at other stadiums.

really nothing different from last year, but the low circling chopper from 3 hours before to two hours after, and during the game, was noticeable. 

as for the pat down - I saw more security than usual, but the pat down itself was pretty much the same. 

BTW - game sucked.   jets steamrolled the jaguars.

Just saw an article from that game where others said there was no difference other than they were asked to take out their cell phone.  Other stadiums saw a difference.

I think they backed off a bit after the overwhelming negative response to the USA today article.  As time goes along, the searches will no doubt get more invasive, that is if Big Sis gets her way.

Iv'e been to several games in Denver after they started the waist up pat downs but all they ever did was check what we were bringing in.  Never had a pat down.  I really don't want to take my family if someone is going to be running their hands up and down us to get in.  I'll skip going this year and see if this gets worse or better.

Look at the comments and comment ratings in this article:  NFL and teams probably saw this and backed off a bit:

seeing so many drunk assholes around, I really am not too upset.   I almost got into a fight w the assholes next to me who were drunk.  assholes bounced their football into my grill once.  No prob.   bounced it next to my car, no biggie, and then hit one of the girls I was with. 

I walked up to the dude and said in front of all f his boys "bro it does not take much to not be a complete douchebag , catch the fucking ball".   His boys laughed at him and he started acting up at me and blamed his kid for bad throws.   I told him since e had a kid around, just move down a bit and all was cool. 

it's full of a lot of drunk dopes.    Its not Al Queada that scares me, it's Uncle Al and Cousin Joey that piss me off about NFL games in person.

I agree, people drink too much at games and that's a big source of problems that happen.  The NFL frisking ankles is not going to do anything to stop that though.  In 10 years, they could have X ray machines, full pat downs with groin check and behavioral interrogators at stadiums and still be encouraging drunken behavior at games lol...

The pat down shit doesn't do jack to address that.

3333, do you agree that patdowns don't do anything in preventing drunks from causing problems?  I know you said that you're not upset about this (the issue at hand) because of all the drunk assholes around the games.  But it seems that people get drunk freely before entering and freely after entering.

Drunks w knives, brass knuckles, and guns in a football arena probably not too good.  Also, they try to stop people from brining in shit to toss at the players.   Used to have a problem w people bringing batteries to toss at players.
