 |  boob checks http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6747931/ This is old news but the significance finally hit me tonight. No more "booby trap" checks are to be conducted at airports because some women have been complaining about it. For those not familiar or those who don't want to read above article, basically part of a standard patdown at airports since 9-11 has been a proceedure where the screener checks the braline of women with the back of their hand. Apperently it's such a problem that the TSA is now taking it out of the set of proceedures. But seriously... what the hell? Lets just tell any would-be bomber where to put their weapon or explosives. We basically made a safe zone and sent it to Usama, wrapped with a ribbon, just in time for Christmas. My bull%%%% detector went off when I read that Hatfield, a spokesman of the TSA, commented that not patting down between the breasts did not weaken security. Of course... silly me, allowing an additional place where something can be hidden, with assurances it won't be patted, is not compromising our security. Why would it? Why even stop there? I mean, I think I don't like even being stopped at the airport for a screening. It's inconvenient and embarrasing and I think being checked without reason to suspect (they check at random too) is violating my civil rights and my privacy. So maybe the TSA should just have the screeners glare at you when you walk by and our safety won't be compromised because any would-be aggressor would get intimidated and %%%% themselves. It's a good idea because being glared at is a normal part of my day and it doesen't offend me typically. This country seems to be affected greately by wishy washy types who like to find something trivial to complain about. If anything the scanning at airports ought to be a little more comprehensive. I notice they don't check between my two unsalted planters. I could easily fit a small plastic knife or suitcase nuke between my enviably sized pendulums. This whole PC thing irritates me sometimes. |
