Sexy Time at the Airport
So, I had to fly out on a business trip recently. I noticed that they funnel everybody through the machine that xrays your clothing. So, I assumed the surrender pose and got zapped. Then, afterward I really got groped good. My private parts were lifted and fondled. They looked down my pants, squeezed my thighs, even swabbed my hands. They even made sure there wasn't a terrorist between my buns. I felt so safe afterward! But, as I walked off with my shoes in my hand and my belt undone like I just had a tryst in the back of a cab it dawned on me, "Hey...our borders are wide open. HEY!"
To keep us safe and then they go and hire as many Muslims as they can at airports across the USA with a fed $25,000 bonus per hire.
I no longer fly
Patting me down like I was a spy.
I'm too old for this kind of stuff,
I had to cry, Alright - enough!
But what really caused me too much pain,
Is when they wanted to confiscate my cane.
So that is why,
I no longer fly,
Flying is something that I will pass,
And if they don't like it -- they can kiss my -- credit card.
your buns but let the door to the house stay open
all night -- not just unlocked! . it results from scatterbrained
logic in life without grounding principles, IMHO -- we
have "any means to an end" folks piecing our lives
together from components which do not integrate
into a coherent philosophy. . Rand is spinning in
her grave. -- j

(Yes, thats a dream to replace the current nightmare.)
A pretty airport security checker groped me at TPA in late 2001. It only lasted a few seconds, and she seemed uncomfortable. They had just increased security. She was at a separate pre-screening area. There was no male present. I think they had scrambled to add at least the appearance of more security after the Sept 11 attacks, and part of that was a pre-screen with a metal detector wand prior to main security. It must have been responding the metal in my zipper, and she didn't know how to handle the situation besides patting me down.
I recently went through the TSA assault line too.
I had basically the same treatment. Under any other circumstance I could have had the person arrested and prosecuted. I don't think I am going to fly again anytime soon. Perhaps I should get that pilots license I started and then gave up on years ago when my parents sold the plane...
You are right; illegals are treated better.
Respectfully,
O.A.
On our last trip, one female agent seemed determined to accuse my wife (who uses a wheelchair) of being a suspected terrorist, claiming her hand swabs showed explosive residue, and claiming she "failed" the subsequent pat-down. She was about to take her to a private room for a strip search when a phone rang, and the agent was ordered to let us through. The other agents seemed relieved, but she was furious. It takes all kinds.
...and who do we have to thank for this? Not Obama! Not Clinton! Bush and Cheney, yes! The republicans!
BTW they are not x-rays. Hey are millimeter wavelength scans that penetrate clothes and reflect off slightly thicker stuff.
Also BTW, overseas they do not worry about gender in the pat downs. Sometimes you get lucky!
So I happily did not. (Metal spoons were a favorite utensil for shiv conversions).
As for any groping, don't know about a certain five officers who were caught and fired for having sex with inmates during my 21-year-career
Only one of those officers was of the opposite sex.
Oh, the wonderful memories to look back on during my retirement years!
The whole thing lasted only a few seconds, less than $1 worth if we consider the going rate to be $10 per 200-second song. lol. I laugh about it, but it marks in my mind the 90s coming to an end. Technology was going to end war and make us all rich. That dream came apart fast.
America's finished. You all do realize that, right?
I don't fly in or out of the US anymore. Not even a layover or enroute stop.
