thanks much for the welcome exbayern. Yet is it not the case that it isn't the thread that is absurd, but rather it is the recent behavior of the TSA in this area that is simply incomprehensible. I no longer fly as a result of their invasive policies. My college age "children" (ok they're now young adults) take trains to and from college on semester breaks (a LOOOONG train ride, btw) because they, being female don't want to be felt up or looked at naked by some creep in a booth and endure radiation whose safety is not even known yet. No matter how much people like Dr. Eyecue claim to be clinically disinterested, just like your gynecologist. That's rich.

Now, I don't want to beat up Eyecue just because he has an opinion different than mine. I just want him to know how violated I and my family feel, and that is a pain that will probably never go away even after he and his kind STOP. And I want him and his kind to know how firmly we are resolved to stop these filthy practices of the TSA. Napolitano and Pistole claim travelers are "Getting used" to it. WE will never accept it.
