I thought sex offenders went to the slammer and then had to register
their whereabouts after they were released. Why bother? They’re down at
the airport. And they are getting paid to do it!
Do the inspectors have to put in a quarter to view the passengers? If
so, who supplies all the quarters? Oh… let’s be democratic and let the
victims pay for their own “security.” Sorry miss, you are going to have
to give us a quarter so we can check out your… check out your… uh…
naughty bits. The TSA perverts will get to see a lot more than those
nail clippers they’re going to confiscate!
Oh but not to worry. While the TSA dirty old men … and women, let’s be
fair… examine your “features” your face will be blurred out. Oh right!
That makes me feel real secure! It’s not my face I want to keep
private! Come on, they don’t call them “privates” for nothing.
And we thought the pat-down search was humiliating.
Now, I’m no constitutional expert or lawyer. But then that probably
allows me to understand the constitution rather than become totally
confused while seeking ways to reinterpret it to suit some diabolical
agenda. But, it seems to me, security scanners that see through clothes
are mighty close to violating the Fourth Amendment.
Here it is. What do you think?
Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers,
and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be
violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause,
supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place
to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Hm… would you feel secure in your person while standing in a peep booth
at the airport during your holiday trek across country to grandmother’s
house? Do you think see through scanners might be unreasonable
searches? And where’s the probable cause, warrant and oath or
affirmation describing the place to be searched? Do we have to go to
the dirty bookstore to find it? Do you suppose you might feel violated?
Rest assured wayfaring strangers, TSA promises that there will be no
dirty pictures stored in their computers banks. Oh yeah?! Do they think
we’re stupid?
In these days of domestic spying in the Rabidly Paranoid States of
America, it’s only a matter of time before some Democratic Dictator
decides that we need to keep all photos of everybody’s tattoos,
surgical scars, colostomy bags and genitalia on file. One never knows
what evils lurk inside a colostomy bag!
As things are right now, the pat down or peep show humiliation exam is
a random check. Hm… you don’t suppose that attractive women with large
breasts just might be “randomly” chosen at a slightly higher “random”
rate than grandmothers?
Possibly TSA Peep Show Booths will inspire a revolution in fashion.
Let’s go retro and bring back Valkyrie breastplates and chastity belts
for women and codpieces for men… all made out of metal of course.
That’ll put the kibosh on their jollies.
For now, travelers beware. If you’re not the type to display your
“assets” to total strangers, choose the pat-down option while you still
have the choice. Or, better yet, avoid the big airports where TSA is
installing their adult toys, like Los Angeles or Miami or New York or
Washington or Dallas or… pick one. It’s a safe bet they have TSA Peep
Show Booths. Best to fly to Podunk and hitch a ride… don’t forget to
chip in for the gas.
Oh heckers! I’ve got the solution! In the future all airline passengers
will be required to fly naked. There. That should make TSA happy… the
filthy little preeverts!
