I think reading George Orwell is a requirement for TSA employees who write this rubbish up.

How about a 900 number? In fact, I think Miss Cleo helped out on the Behavior Detection program.

"Groin" was being used at LAS on Wednesday. Seriously, how hard is it to use the correct terminology? BTW, they did not get anywhere near my "groin".

That's probably because she did not know where your groin is located - it's somewhere around your "resistance" but just where exactly was unknown to her.

^ She apparently thought is was somewhere near my lower stomach and just above my knees. She was walking herself through a checklist and used the term when her hands hit both places.

I hope none of these people are in school studying to be doctors. We're all in serious trouble if they are.

Go to Key West EYW. You'll get your "resistance" karate chopped twice.
