I think everyone I know (including my mother and father) has been manhandled by the TSA since last October. Including a friend who is an anchor person on a local Fox station, who had a very public battle with cancer, whom the TSO recognized and KNEW he wasn't a terrorist... but he got his junk touched anyway. Must have been very exciting for that TSO to fondle the jewels of a TV personality. My Facebook explodes about once a week with TSA hate stories just from people I know personally.

Another friend of mine is in a fairly popular rock band (double-platinum albums in their 18 year career). He did a USO tour in Afghanistan and Iraq about 18 months ago, on the front lines... security at the bases in war zones weren't as invasive as they are at the airport. He's really tired of having his musical jewels handled too.

Let's hope something happens soon... I'd like to take a vacation to someplace warm where it doesn't rain 300 days a year. But not until I can be assured some half-wit in a blue uniform isn't going to be rooting around in my bra for god knows what kind of treasure.
