Its "Resistance" at LAX Terminal 6 last week. Lets see what it will be this week in ORD and LAX as well as LAX and SFO and ORD next week. This circus makes me laugh and cry at the same time.

As soon as you say a word accurately describing male or female genitals, including use of the word "genital" itself, a clerk is trained to immediately escalate the encounter. You might as well have said "bomb" to the clerk. Pretty soon, you are talking to a suit or a cop.

At LAX this AM, the term was 'til I reach your crotch. As it turns out, my balls prevented him from getting that far. 
I was also offered the option to get groped in private. What the F is this all about? Is this a new thing to reduce the number of gropings on you tube?

Man, my two year old son knows the word "penis," most recently used when he was having trouble putting on his underwear and shouted, "OH NO, MY PENIS!" Can't wait to see what happens if he ends up being groped at the airport...

"In private". That is, with only TSA perverts watching through peep holes.

There's quite a distance between your legs and torso. If it happens to me, I might ask the clerk, "When you say torso, do you mean this?", and then do my best Michael Jackson crotch grab and pelvic thrust. Might even throw in a good Yeehee! or Oooh! for effect.

This reminds me of a moment I recently had at ORD, in which I think I may have inadvertently come off as "creepy." I opted out, was getting the pat-down, and noticed that the pat down was a lot more thorough than on my previous journey in July.
I said, "Did you guys get more training or something? Because this pat-down is a lot better than the last one I had." That comment earned me a weird look and an uncomfortable, "I don't really know."
That SO wasn't what I meant. Criminey.
