You Are Now Free to Fly...After I Pat Your Crotch
All this hoopla over the new TSA body scan machines is getting ridiculous. I don't think it's a huge deal. We're supposed to be watching how to make a killer deep fried turkey and spiked egg nog, but instead all we hear is new stories about how passengers are going to protest and boycott over the holiday weekend.
Well, here's a newsflash everyone......you can protest all day long and miss or delay flights all the while the TSA will complete their shifts and go home to have a nice Thanksgiving with their families. Just chalk this one up. Does everyone remember after 9/11 when they were forcing us to take off our shoes? There was public outrage. Now, I (along with almost everyone) just take off my shoes upon approach.
It's for our safety....and if we don't like it, we have a simple option.....don't fly.
So, the next time the TSA gives you a full body pat down because you refused the body scan machine, make sure he buys you dinner first. And remember.....unlike the pat downs at the massage parlor, the TSA pat down doesn't always have a happy ending.
