Feel Me Up ButterCup!
Author: The InExperienced Expert // Category: What’s going on in our Crazy World
As I perused the internet for Black Friday Specials, Yahoo.com greeted me with a link to an article entitled “More TSA horror stories have emerge while agency ponders what to do.” If you have been living under a rock or have been paying attention to the media from a far like myself you might have heard of the new peek-a-boo machines installed in various airport throughout the country. These machines give TSA agents a scan of your body to verify no weapons are concealed. Because of various complaints of the invasive machines that can make the guy with a small pecker or a girl with breast cutlets in her bra blush a thousand times over, the TSA has decided on a pat down as a opt-out to the “I See You” machines.
As it is in the nature of Americans/humans to always find something to complain about, many people also seem to find a problem with the opt-out because they are being felt up by random strangers (maybe the TSA should introduce their name and hometown to break the ice -sorry bad sense of humor). It’s these very same cry babies that make me wonder what they had to say about the various terrorists that have attempted and failed miserably. What exactly do they want the Gov to do?!?!?!?! Some of my favorite quotes from this article were:
• "They don't understand the importance of the electronic scans. They're wrong about the scanners' safety. And from the standpoint of dignity, their advice is insane. If you opt out of the scan, you'll get a pat-down instead. You'll trade a fast, invisible, intangible, privacy-protected machine inspection for an unpleasant, extended grope. In effect, you'll be telling TSA to touch your junk." – a quote from State’s Williams Saletan. (LMFAO can you imagine an ad by the machine that says “Let us touch the junk in your trunk” while “Baby got back” is playing in the lobby?!?!? – Sorry I digressed again serious face mode -_- )
• "It is not comfortable to come to work knowing full well that my hands will be feeling another man's private parts, their butt, their inner thigh," wrote one male agent. "Even worse is having to try and feel inside the flab rolls of obese passengers, and we seem to get a lot of obese passengers!" Another added that most of the travelers the agency deals with "have a problem understanding what personal hygiene is." – random TSA Agents commenting on the “beauty” of their job
• “In short: Thanks a lot, bin Laden!” – A basic sum up from the writer of the article and most valid point yet!.
I choose to laugh because more or less this is what we have come to. There are millions of things people can find wrong with the measures the gov has taken already, but it’s when they don’t do anything at all that we feel the most violated. Suck it up and just realize that we are living in different times, my safety and the safety of everyone else is more important than that quick 5 second flash that the pervert by default will get while just doing his/her job. I hate being touched by anyone including people I know, so I sympathize with those who feel violated by the “opt-out”.
