Congrats on the white privilege.
90% of TSA workers I encounter are black. So if you have a problem with TSA, you got a problem with your own kings and queens brother man

It's funny the people who tout socialism, and big government are the first to cry when it involves them.


Kind of like how the people who claim to be conservative and against big government defend a bunch of bureaucrat minions indiscriminately molesting people because 'security '

Rye said she was worried about the effect the security checks could have on sexual assault victims.




There seems to be a notion floating around our media that people should be protected from things which are similar to negative events (such as sexual assault) which people may have experienced. I am not sure if these are arguments made from a good place but the results are pretty bad.

Even for victims of significant trauma the method of overcoming the trauma is gradual introduction of the topic and similar exposures to reassure the former victim that nothing bad happens from discussion or encounters which are similar in some way. When people mythologize and pathologize a negative experience they actually make it worse, rather than help them just go on with their lives in a normal fashion.

This has become truly ridiculous in some cases - for example law schools in which people are trying to shut down teaching rape law out of concern for people who might have been sexual assault victims. Great, now people are going to be less able to deal with the abstract topic of rape and unaware of the rape laws they would need to master to defend or prosecute the people involved in alleged victims or perpetrators.

I remember when this board was heavily against the nude screening system.

TSA gate agents don't decide who to randomly screen do they? It's on your boarding pass.

Had a buddy whose hand lotion set off the hand swabs at LAX when we were flying out of there from a wedding...they thought he'd been handling bomb making materials

He had to go into a private room and strip down into his boxers and his checked bags got pulled off the flight and didn't make it back on

Yet, he didn't call the media. He just kept on living his life.

I try to be hard when I go through the TSA fondling. It makes it incredibly awkward.

This was purely random screening.


And who were the people who said targeted screening was too "racist" and "xenophobic" and demanded randomness be added in?
