Full disclosure, I don't really have any sources to back up the assertion I'm going to make. This is entirely conjecture, and is biased due to that fact. It's really a stray thought that stuck in my mind.
Call me crazy, but I think the reason we're seeing stepped up TSA searches, despite the rather robust outcry of the public, is to scare people into staying where they're at.
Hear me out.
A family was planning on taking a vacation to Italy, or some other place that requires travel by air. Now, because the TSA is actively sexually assaulting every person who gets within reach of their disgusting fingers, that family decides to say "fuck it" and instead of leaving the country and seeing for themselves how things are, they stay where they're at, where the media can tell them how the rest of the world works.
I was thinking about this because I wanted to leave the country for my birthday, but I changed my mind when I say that police departments across the country had been warned to prepare for increased sexual assault complaints.
It's not a matter of rules for thee, not for me, even though that definitely applies to the government.
It's a matter of keeping the citizenry penned into this country so that they can exert absolute control over us.
Thoughts?

I agree with you. If the tsa makes traveling unappealing, I can see why people would want to stay where they're at. This, along with travel bans, may be designed to keep us in and others out. Why are they trying to keep us here? who knows. But it does seem like there is an effort to keep us where we are.
