Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

A PSA from the TSA courtesy of SNL.
I thought we could all use a brief respite from all things Sarah Palin just for a moment.
After all I have to watch that crappy show of hers later and I need to an infusion of comedy to help soothe my fractured psyche.
Well, Gryphen, I thank you for watching the spectacle so I don't have to and look forward to your comments. But, I think you deserve more than humor to fortify you for that ordeal... I would need a liquid double, for sure!
If you think that TSA is bad wait until you see what they do to the next audience at the DWTS show.
The "white powder" threat is A HUGE ALERT. Bristol is the daughter of a former candidate for high office. A Republican big wig that is on the list to run of President of the United States of America. The "white powder" attack threat towards Bristol is enormous. Homeland Security is a must. This is one of the more important celebrities to honor DWTS, her fans must be safe. They have no choice but to TSA the studio audience at DWTS.
DWTS will have better security shake downs than TSA.

Question is: Which plane would you rather board. . .the one filled with passengers who have gone through the Gropester. . .or the one that is filled with passengers who just got a polite pat-down?
I am traveling to visit family for Christmas. I received an email from my sister letting me know that her airport has the xray body scanners and the "enhanced body search". The buttons on her jeans and the wire in her underwire bra set off the xray scanner, so she got the full body molestation groping.
I am not looking forward to security checks. I have 4 metal plates and 16 screws in my upper jaw. If a metal button sets off the alarm, why will my jaw do?
I really feel for victims of sexual assault having to endure the physical grope-down (I refuse to call it a patdown). The TSA grope-down is more invasive than a police search!
I have no doubt that the "enhanced body search" will be successfully sued and declared unconstitutional. But this is going to be a mess.
Edit to add: Just checked the TSA website. Those with medically implanted metal (hip replacement, metal used to surgically stabilize broken bones, etc) will get the privileged of a grope-down! TSA recommends that you tell them about any surgical metal or implanted devices before being scanned.
For those with breast implants: you are still safe. The saline/gel used in breast implants is still allowed on airplanes even though most implants contain more than 3 oz for fluid! ;o)
The show bomber made us take off our shoes.
ReplyDeleteThe underwear bomber made us get frisked and felt up.
I am waiting for the next bomber that puts the C4 in his rectum... then the TSA agents will become "proctologist"
Bend over and spread your cheeks!
Hilarious!!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness I'm not traveling this Holiday season. I don't think I can stand TSA agents groping my stuff.

ReplyDeleteThank you for making the sacrifice. You watch it so we don't have to. It's hard to even get through the clips.

8:15am said "The show bomber made us take off our shoes."
ReplyDeleteNo. The SHOW BOMBER made us shoot up our televisions. http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20442933,00.html
The shoe bomber made socks & sandals defacto for travelers, and caused fashionistas worldwide to have nervous breakdowns. :)

ReplyDeleteI vote for the Gropester.

That's right - just toss out the Bill of Rights.
ReplyDeleteIt's for your own good.
It's not as though anyone evil could ever come to power and misuse that power to abuse you...
right?
11:36: well, if it's safety I'm looking for, I won't be satisfied until every passenger--and pet--gets an anal exam!
ReplyDeleteJeffrey Goldberg has a clever idea to incorporate digital prostate exams and mammograms into the screening devices http://bit.ly/9CLLKs
