I guess the story of the moment is how all of our privacy is being violated by TSA patdowns. Some douchebag from San Diego went all political about it at the airport and its a top story. The thing is, if you just kind of go with the flow you won't have problems. the only ones who have problems are douchebags like this who make snide comments and try to start shit. http://www.cnn.com/2010/TRAVEL/11/15/california.airport.security/index.html?hpt=T1 He's just like the "don't taze me bro" douchebag from 2 years ago.
I've gone through the air shooting one before. that was trippy. I remember when they had that swine flu shit in mexico, I had to go through some kind of walk through x-ray shit that measured your body temperature and you could see the outlines.....pretty crazy
I thought it was odd, but the past year I've been regularly asked by TSA why I am carrying a zucchini in my pants. Guess I know why now. Creepy stuff.
Then just stand there for a while and pose and preen with a big ass smile on your face and your hands on your hips. "Excuse me sir, please move along..."
Back to the topic of thread, you just know the douchebag who didn't get on the plane will also blame Obama if a terrorist gets through TSA and blows up a plane.
TSA is a fucking joke. Last time I was at the airport waiting for my fiance, I saw at least six or seven of the guys standing around shooting the shit while a long line was trying to make its way through the checkpoint. Fucking government jobs.
and 70's, and 80's and 90's and 00's... As for me, I'm not wild about having an x-ray machine check me out but I'd rather have that then someone copping a feel. It's pretty pathetic that we have to do this though, considering how poor the technology is to detect shit.
The same-gender pat down seems open to legal action for several angles of illegal discrimination based on sex, and IMO is nothing more than government sanctioned sexual abuse. The nude screening of flyers should be prosecuted under the many applicable existing invasion of privacy and child pornography laws. The constant lying by the TSA and Homeland Security does nothing to bolster their case, as it has already been demonstrated they lied about the quality of images screeners see (NOT shadowy forms, but actually much closer to the high detail of a Penthouse Pet Centerfold). Pedophiles and perverts are scrambling to apply for jobs as screeners and will soon be the dominant workers in the field. Will you let them screen your 5 year old daughter? Or would you rather they fondle her crotch?
