No, laughing about vibrators = unfairly exercising your unequal power over passengers.
What's next? Laughing when someone removes a prosthetic arm and puts it through the x-ray, because it's got metal in it? Laughing when someone's pants fall down because they had to take their belt off before going through the WTMD?
When I sit in a classroom, I expect my teacher not to laugh at me, even when I ask a stupid question (which I do a lot). When I go to my physician, I expect him/her not to laugh at the condition of my body, even though I ain't exactly Brad Pitt. When I go to the bank, I expect the tellers not to laugh at me when they see the pitiful balance in my bank account.
I expect you to treat me, and my personal items, with respect and dignity. And, believe it or not, your employer expects the same.
