My father sent me a picture the other day of a very old Mexican woman who had been stopped at an ICE checkpoint. She appeared to be fairly normal, until she was screened. She had what appeared to be more than 75 pounds of heroin or cocaine strapped to her body under her clothing. Imagine the damage that could have done had it been semtex.
My goodness gracious,
TSORon, you're correct. I know I for one sleep better at night knowing every. single. one. of. us. must prove to the satisfaction of TSA employees that we are not terrorists.
After all, every time my testicles are rubbed, I'm grateful 75 pounds of semtex can't get by the fancy Junkatron and TSA standard genital rub.
Then I hear about people like
Minnetta Walker and realize those 75 pounds of semtex will still get on a plane, even though people like you make me relive the horror of my father's touch. Thanks for being an upstanding human being.
Here's a fact for you to chew on:
There is a far greater proportion of thieves, pedophiles, rapists, and lazy people who don't do their job at TSA than are terrorists in the flying public. You want to treat us all as guilty until proven innocent, turnabout's fair play.
