I wonder what would happen if after you got padded down you turned to the guy who did it and said something like:
"Can I ask you a question? Who grows up with the dream of having a job where they get to play with other men's junk all day?"
When he gets mad call him a homophobe.
The end of privacy
I'm currently refusing to fly because I wouldn't be able to resist doing something to piss them off probably more than I should. Things I've considered:
1) loudly faking orgasm upon contact with my junk
2) stripping completely naked in the middle of the checkpoint screaming "if you want to see it here it is you son of a bitch"
3) teabagging the TSA agent when he crouches down in front of me

They also presumably suffered through years of medical schooling. I'm halfway convinced most TSA employees would fuck up spelling their names.GORDON wrote:Argument for it I keep reading over and over is "Well you let your doctor touch you, this is just like that because it is their job."
And I only see the doctor a few times a year. & it's pretty much ONE doctor, not a legion of incompetent rent-a-cop security rejects who couldn't make the cut for meter maid or traffic cop.

At some point after 9/11 it became the shoes.
The first time I had to take my belt off was late 2008. Your mileage may vary, but that was my first time.

Hands down pants? Is this a joke?

Recently saw on the news...
Apparently, airports can opt out of using TSA personnel & hire out to private security firms. Less than 20 do so. The MSP airport is considering becoming one of them. I'm cautiously optimistic.

My emphasis. I'm sure they'll approve all the apps, too. Real quick-like.
an airport may submit to the Under Secretary an application to have the screening of passengers and property at the airport under section 44901 to be carried out by the screening personnel of a qualified private screening company

Democracts back stripsearches.
"Mr. Pistole, you're doing a great job," Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat and chairman of the Senate committee overseeing air travel, told TSA chief John Pistole, a former FBI agent who's had the job since July. For emphasis, Rockefeller added a few minutes later: "I think you're doing a terrific job."
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Minnesota Democrat, admitted right away that "I have been a fan of the advanced imaging technology." American air travelers, she said, "have to understand that this is being done for their best interests and their safety."
Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat, suggested that the public outcry was a problem of education: if Americans learned more about the TSA's new procedures, they wouldn't object to the new searches.
It's not me, it's someone else.

Why lately does this shit always come down to "If the people weren't so stupid they'd be fine with it; I guess we just need to use smaller words?"
"Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid."
All the Congressional folk get their own private jet-type things to fly on, don't they? Do they even fucking remember what it's like to travel via normal shitty passenger airliners?GORDON wrote:Why lately does this shit always come down to "If the people weren't so stupid they'd be fine with it; I guess we just need to use smaller words?"Sen.

Good.
As a general rule of thumb, all government personnel (with the exception of front-line military troops or emergency personnel responding to a crisis) should be required to deal with the lowest level of shit they put their citizenry through. And I'm including the President in this.
I want to see how Obama feels about the TSA after scans of Sasha and Malia get leaked to the internet. Probably not so good.
