## About this episode

Santa Clara and San Mateo District Attorneys have issued a formal warning to TSA agents, threatening criminal prosecution for security pat-downs that constitute sexual crimes. This local legal challenge emerges as TSA Administrator John Pistole defends intrusive screenings to PBS NewsHour, while Representative John Duncan exposes the security-industrial complex and Michael Chertoff’s financial ties to Rapiscan scanner contracts.

Representative Ron Paul has introduced the American Traveler Dignity Act to strip federal agents of legal immunity for groping citizens during airport screenings. Meanwhile, the Senate passed food safety bill S. 510, granting the FDA and Department of Homeland Security unprecedented control over the national food supply. Global tensions rise as EU President Herman Van Rompuy declares a survival crisis for the Eurozone amid an Irish IMF bailout, and the extradition of arms dealer Viktor Bout from Thailand to New York triggers claims of a scripted DEA sting operation.

Senator Claire McCaskill coined the term Love Pats to describe physical searches during a Senate hearing, a phrase that quickly became a meme of government overreach. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak analyze the Hollywood murder of publicist Ronnie Chasen and the strange Illuminati symbolism surrounding the General Motors IPO price of thirty-three dollars.

### 4. Free Talk Live, TSA Agent Prank Call (11:48–14:57)

A prank caller identifying as a TSA agent contacted the radio show Free Talk Live to mock current security narratives. The caller claimed that Al Qaeda is recruiting five-year-old blonde children to become "panty bombers" and urged listeners to follow a parody TSA account on Twitter. The hosts praise the effort as a successful PR initiative and name the caller their "PR associate of the week."

### 5. TSA Protest T-Shirts, Conan O'Brien Ratings (14:58–18:38)

The discussion shifts to the public reaction to TSA screenings, specifically the "Don't Touch My Junk" t-shirt trend, which the hosts criticize as a superficial response from "slaves." They also analyze Conan O'Brien's move to cable television, comparing the lower production values of cable networks to major broadcast networks. A comparison is drawn to the decline of the "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" series after its move to USA Network.

### 6. PBS NewsHour, John Pistole TSA Interview Deconstruction (18:38–26:00)

The hosts deconstruct an interview between Margaret Warner of the PBS NewsHour and TSA Administrator John Pistole. They argue the interview was a rehearsed "bamboozle" where Pistole used "intelligence-driven" buzzwords to avoid answering direct questions about passenger blowback. A specific moment is highlighted where Warner makes an assertion about body cavity searches that Pistole simply confirms without further elaboration.

### 7. High-Speed Rail, TSA Surface Transportation Expansion (26:02–28:06)

TSA Administrator John Pistole confirmed during congressional testimony that the agency is reviewing "surface transportation" priorities, including passenger rail and mass transit. This aligns with President Barack Obama's vision for high-speed rail, which he previously marketed as a way to avoid airport-style security delays. The hosts predict that the "security-industrial complex" will eventually implement scanners and pat-downs at train stations and sporting events.

### 8. Lou Parker, TSA Radiation Comparison Claims (28:08–32:04)

KTLA reporter Lou Parker is criticized for a commentary segment in which she claimed that airport body scanners emit the same amount of radiation as a cell phone conversation. The hosts dispute this comparison, arguing that such media reports are intended to pacify the public regarding the safety of x-ray technology at airports like LAX.

### 9. TSA Machine Testing, Johns Hopkins Radiation Studies (32:05–35:57)

A deep dive into TSA safety claims reveals that the agency relies on commercial trade organization standards rather than mandatory government testing for its scanners. While Administrator John Pistole cites Johns Hopkins and ANSI studies, the hosts argue that the specific machines used by L3 and Rapiscan have not been independently verified to adhere to these non-mandatory safety protocols. They express skepticism regarding the long-term health effects of frequent radiation exposure for travelers.

### 10. Claire McCaskill, TSA Love Pats Meme (35:58–39:30)

During a Senate hearing, Senator Claire McCaskill coined the term "Love Pats" to describe TSA pat-downs, expressing her preference for scanners over physical searches. Senator Jay Rockefeller also appeared briefly before leaving to attend to healthcare legislation. McCaskill further praised the Department of Homeland Security for its handling of the H1N1 virus, a claim the hosts find absurd given the agency's primary focus on security.

### 11. Representative John Duncan, Security Industrial Complex (39:31–41:59)

Representative John Duncan delivered a floor speech criticizing the $300 million expenditure on airport scanners, labeling it a matter of money rather than security. Duncan highlighted the role of former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, whose firm represents Rapiscan, the company selling the scanners to the government. He characterized the arrangement as a "sweetheart insider deal" involving former high-ranking federal officials.

### 12. Ron Paul, American Traveler Dignity Act (42:00–48:18)

Representative Ron Paul introduced the American Traveler Dignity Act, a one-paragraph bill intended to remove legal immunity for federal agents who engage in "groping" or taking nude photographs of citizens. Paul argued that the American public has become too submissive to bureaucrats and that buying a plane ticket should not require the sacrifice of constitutional rights. He suggested that members of Congress and the Executive Branch should be forced to undergo the same intrusive screenings as the public.

### 13. TSA Unionization, SEIU Labor Relations (48:19–53:53)

The Federal Labor Relations Board has ordered an election for TSA agents to choose a union representative, though the agency maintains this would not include collective bargaining rights. The hosts discuss Glenn Beck's theory that the Obama administration is using public pressure on the TSA to force unionization under the SEIU. They argue that TSA employees are "lowly slaves" with few other job opportunities in a high-unemployment economy.

### 14. Michael Moore, High-Speed Rail Travel Time (53:54–58:12)

Michael Moore appeared on Bill Maher's program to advocate for high-speed rail, claiming a train could travel from New York to Los Angeles in 12 to 14 hours. The hosts debunk this calculation, noting that even at 210 miles per hour, such a trip would require a perfectly straight line and no stops. They argue that state legislatures would never allow a rail line to pass through their territory without demanding local stops, which would significantly increase travel time.

### 15. National Opt-Out Day, TSA Retaliation Predictions (58:13–1:00:11)

The hosts predict that "National Opt-Out Day," scheduled for the day before Thanksgiving, will result in the TSA purposefully slowing down security lines to punish protesters. They argue that while the initiative is well-intentioned, it may inadvertently provide the "security-industrial complex" with an excuse to demand more funding and faster technology to keep "human resources" and commerce flowing.

### 16. Food Safety Modernization Act, FDA Control (1:00:13–1:03:34)

The Senate passed a major food safety bill (S. 510) with a 74-25 vote, granting the FDA and Department of Homeland Security unprecedented control over the food supply. The hosts link this to the "Codex Alimentarius" standards and argue that the $1.4 billion bill is a distraction from the TSA controversy. They suggest that controlling the food supply is a fundamental method of controlling the population.

### 17. Raw Milk Crackdown, Aspartame Ant Poison (1:03:35–1:07:01)

The FDA and Washington State authorities are reportedly cracking down on raw milk dairies, which the hosts view as an attack on small organic operations. A listener's anecdote describes using aspartame to kill ants, leading to a discussion on the toxicity of artificial sweeteners and the CDC's recent warnings about excessive fluoride in drinking water.

### 18. Ray LaHood, Cell Phone Scramblers in Cars (1:07:02–1:13:39)

Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood has proposed mandating cell phone scrambling devices in all automobiles to prevent distracted driving. This proposal comes as the government begins selling its stock in General Motors. The hosts frame this as another example of the "Ministry of Good for You" treating citizens like "stupid slaves" who cannot manage their own safety.

### 19. No Agenda Subscription Model, Value for Value (1:13:41–1:16:55)

The hosts introduce a new "dollar an hour" subscription model for commuters, suggesting a $4 weekly donation for the four hours of content produced. They emphasize that this "value for value" model is the only way the show remains truly independent and free from corporate propaganda. They thank the executive producers for their continued support.

### 20. Gulf of Aden, Stargate Earthquakes (1:16:55–1:19:40)

Adam Curry revisits his theory regarding a "Stargate" in the Gulf of Aden, noting that 48 earthquakes have recently occurred in the region. He points to the presence of 300 international warships off the coast of Yemen as evidence of a significant, undisclosed event. The hosts joke about fish coming through the portal from outer space to replenish Earth's oceans.

### 21. Ronnie Chasen Murder, Hollywood Whackers (1:19:41–1:25:54)

The murder of Hollywood publicist Ronnie Chasen in Beverly Hills is analyzed as a professional assassination. Chasen, who specialized in Oscar campaigns, was shot five times in her Mercedes with no signs of a struggle. The hosts connect this to Randy Quaid's claims about "Hollywood Whackers" and organized crime syndicates that target wealthy celebrities for their estates, citing Michael Jackson as a previous victim.

### 22. Haiti Cholera Outbreak, Clinton Foundation Finances (1:25:55–1:30:38)

A cholera outbreak in Haiti has killed over 900 people, leading to violent clashes between protesters and UN peacekeepers. The hosts criticize the William J. Clinton Foundation for committing only $1.5 million to the crisis despite raising hundreds of millions. They note that the foundation has failed to publish its Form 990 tax filings for 2009, suggesting a lack of transparency in how relief funds are spent.

### 23. General Motors IPO, Illuminati Symbolism (1:30:39–1:32:31)

General Motors returned to the public market with an initial public offering priced at $33 per share. The hosts interpret the "33" price point as a deliberate piece of Illuminati symbolism, mocking the public's exclusion from the "inside deal" while the government divests its stake in the automaker.

### 24. European Union Survival Crisis, Irish IMF Bailout (1:32:32–1:40:50)

EU President Herman Van Rompuy declared that the European Union is in a "survival crisis" as debt issues in Ireland and Portugal threaten the stability of the Eurozone. Irish officials have publicly denied the need for an IMF bailout, leading to tense exchanges with the media. The hosts explain that the central banking system has stripped individual nations of their ability to control their own currency, leading to a "bad debt dominoes" effect.

### 25. Viktor Bout Extradition, DEA Sting Operation (1:40:50–1:51:31)

International arms dealer Viktor Bout, known as the "Merchant of Death," was extradited from Thailand to New York to face terrorism charges. The hosts deconstruct a CBS Radio report by Charles Osgood, arguing it was a scripted piece of propaganda. They suggest Bout was a "patsy" caught in a DEA sting involving the FARC in Colombia, potentially as part of a larger geopolitical maneuver involving Russia and Venezuela.

### 26. Ahmed Ghailani Trial, Microsoft Kinect Privacy (1:51:32–1:53:45)

The first Guantanamo Bay detainee to be tried in a civilian court, Ahmed Ghailani, was acquitted on all but one conspiracy charge. Meanwhile, the hosts warn about the privacy implications of the Microsoft Kinect, noting that its terms of service allow the company to collect and disclose voice and video data to the government, effectively placing a surveillance camera in the user's living room.

### 27. Home Mail Server, Spam Traffic Logs (1:53:48–1:57:21)

Adam Curry describes his experience setting up a private mail server on a Mac Mini to move away from Gmail and improve privacy. He notes the staggering amount of spam traffic—roughly four attempts per second—visible in the SMTP logs. The discussion covers the technical challenges of residential IP ranges being blocked by other mail servers and the importance of keeping communications away from government-accessible cloud providers.

### 28. Obama Asia Trip, Hillary Clinton 2012 Speculation (1:57:23–2:02:09)

Media coverage of President Obama's trip to India and Indonesia is characterized as a "Great American Apology Tour" by critics. The hosts discuss the "demure" energy of the President and speculate that Hillary Clinton is being positioned for a future presidential run by building her international profile as Secretary of State. They suggest Obama's current political struggles are part of a scripted transition.

### 29. Bill Clinton Republican Praise, FIFA World Cup Bid (2:02:09–2:07:48)

The hosts highlight a media montage showing Republicans praising Bill Clinton's willingness to compromise, contrasting it with the intense vitriol he faced during the 1990s. Clinton is currently serving as the honorary chairman for the USA bid to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The hosts mock Clinton's "shilling" for FIFA, which they describe as one of the most corrupt organizations in the world.

### 30. HR 645 FEMA Camps, Safe Sex PSA (2:07:50–2:12:23)

The "National Emergency Centers Establishment Act" (HR 645) is discussed as a potential move toward creating military-run concentration camps in various FEMA regions. The segment also features a "safe sex" PSA featuring Bristol Palin and "The Situation" from Jersey Shore, which the hosts find bizarre and poorly executed, noting the awkward emphasis on abstinence.

### 31. Lionel WPIX Editorial, TSA School Security (2:12:23–2:15:46)

New York editorialist Lionel delivers a critique of TSA procedures, warning that these intrusive searches will eventually be applied to children in schools. He argues that the public is "assuming the position" by allowing non-sworn civilian agents to conduct searches that bypass traditional Fourth Amendment protections under the guise of fighting terrorism.

### 32. Dave Barry Blurred Groin, Show Outro (2:15:50–2:20:28)

Humorist Dave Barry recounts his experience with a TSA scanner that flagged him for a "blurred groin," leading to an intrusive pat-down. The show concludes with a final warning about the "security-industrial complex" and Michael Chertoff's financial interest in scanner technology. The hosts encourage listeners to participate in "Opt-Out Day" and sign off with their traditional "Shut Up Slave" catchphrase.
