Is anyone flying....?

Flying across in May via Tokyo-SFO-MIA-ORD and I am super ready for the TSA groping Shaun claims I should fear.

You mean that you didn't just post in a thread last posted in 3 weeks ago and add nothing to the conversation simply to broadcast your travel plans?

EXACTLY
You are so clever.

Flying across in May via Tokyo-SFO-MIA-ORD and I am super ready for the TSA groping Shaun claims I should fear.

Actually, you have a choice. Fear, humiliation, or apathy.

Fear would be an appropriate human reaction to the radiation bath you are forced to take, especially when you consider how many times the government has been caught lying about the risks associated with things they've approved of (such as aspartame, MSG's, Agent Orange, pink slime, asbestos, GMO's, etc).

Humiliation would be an appropriate human reaction to the forced groping you must endure. At least, most people who have a shred of dignity left would feel that way.

And if you don't feel that way? Well, congratulations, you feel no fear or humiliation because you are too indifferent to feel anything. Like the rest of the zombies, you can't feel any self-worth, self-esteem, dignity, sancity, or anything else that qualifies you as a unique human being because you view yourself as a cog in the wheel, a slave with priveleges, a sacrificial animal, a member of the collective whose number one commandment is obedience to authority.

So Norah, which are you going to choose?

Of course, Shaun assumes that you're going to be groped and scanned, which means that you fall into one of his scenarios. Since nobody on this board, including Shaun, has ever been subjected to those things at an airport while traveling around the USA, I think you can just go ahead and disregard his concerns.

In 71 pages of hysterical ranting about the evil government, they've managed to find a meager few examples of TSA abuse. Given the massive volume of people who travel everyday and have to deal with the TSA, I'd say your odds of smooth sailing are pretty damn good.

I was scanned the last time I flew.

Did it offend you? Did it demean you? Were you embarrassed?

Have no fear, Norah...your child is in good hands....

Cops snared 55 Massachusetts men in a sweeping, multi-agency child pornography crackdown — including a Transportation Security Administration officer assigned to Logan International Airport who is just the latest embarrassment for the troubled federal agency.
