Back in October I wrote about about this woman who wouldn’t let her privates get fondled at the Denver International Airport and was banned from boarding the plane because of it. Well looks like this could be happening at an airport near you.
BostonHerald.com: Travelers passing through Logan International Airport this holiday may find that their private areas aren’t so private anymore when it comes to pat-down searches at security checkpoints.
Transportation Safety Administration officials say increased concerns about bombs being hidden on a person’s body require more intensive torso searches, and women’s breasts and the genital and buttocks regions of both sexes are not off-limits.
Really what increased concerns? Have we seen this happening a lot or even starting at all? What won’t surprise me is people will just go with it. They think all this makes them safer and they think that the threat is so bad they will submit to anything asked of them.
Here are some of my favorite quotes from this article:
``We really need our passengers to be our partners and to think about what they’re wearing and what they’re packing,'' TSA Northeast Security Director George Naccara said yesterday.
Think about what we are packing? I don’t want some dude touching what I am “packing”.
Naccara said travelers can decrease the probability of a secondary search by wearing form-fitting clothes...
So ladies dress sexy and you might not get fondled. Oh wait…hmmm.
Naccara said the secondary searches are conducted by TSA employees of the same sex as the traveler, and travelers may request they be taken to a separate room.
Same Sex as the Traveler huh, what will they do about homosexuals? Well honestly I would rather it be opposite sex myself. I’m not too hip to some dude touching my…well in the words of Security Director George Naccara “what (I’m) packing”.
``We want people to know what to expect,'' Davis said, adding that security officers who conduct the more intrusive secondary searches have been trained to tell the passengers where they plan to search before they do it.
Not that it really matters. And if you say “no” it gets you nowhere. Just bend over and take it people and don’t make a sound. (sarcasm)
