Worth a Thousand Words

Actually, it's worth one.

No.

Not to me you won't.

I have to believe that is a joke.

Has to be real, no one but tsa would be in the position for a picture. Or wear the gloves, or uniform.

Pity - the guy on the carpet was in a perfect position to take a leak...

Looks like a perfect opportunity to apply Rule 762.

I avoid flying whenever possible, but I'll be going to the Bahamas in the spring, so I have no real choice. My plan is to wear my kilt, and as I am part Scottish (or, as my grandfather used to say "Half Scotch and half water) under my kilt I will be wearing only what the Creator gave me when I was born. And I plan on smiling and moaning quietly as the Transporting Sexual Assault agent fondles me. They want us to be embarrassed and humiliated? Well f**k them, *they* are the ones who are going to be embarrassed.

It's real, all right. This is exactly what I saw done to a WWII veteran with a knee replacement and a letter from the surgeon. They made him get up out of the wheelchair and walk through the metal detector, and then go behind a glass partition where they dropped his pants to his ankles. This was two years ago. His "trip of a lifetime" to Alaska.
We were outbound and I didn't want to ruin his trip, but if this had been done as we were flying HOME...
Everyone who responded to my letter of protest said no policies were violated.
Just rights.
They were not worthy to polish his SHOES.

The Department of Homeland Security and "environmental justice."
Because Coast Guard stations will be impacted by sea level rise as the polar ice caps melt, and so on.
Hey, the government doesn't have to give a RATIONAL excuse for doing ANYTHING anymore.
Saw another article about how U.S. video gamers use as much energy in a year as the cty of San Diego. More energy-efficient game consoles are suggested. The EPA Energy Star program.
What about all our computers connected to the Internet? How much energy "waste" is that? No doubt they have a plan...
