I'm on my way to Vegas right now for NAB so I saw this while catching up on my Vegas news:
A Britney Spears drag star contends the Transportation Security Administration is guilty of a double standard: Why were his silicone chicken cutlet breast enhancers a screening issue when women routinely "roll through airports with them?"
Derrick Barry said he was turned away at McCarran International Airport on Friday because the cutlets exceeded TSA's liquid limit of 3.4 ounces for most carry-on items.
[...]
Barry said he was bounced back and forth and held up for an hour over the issue and nearly missed his flight to Tampa, Fla., where he had a gig Friday night.
The
whole article is here.
Mr. Barry makes the point that many women are allowed to pass through security while they're wearing these "cutlets" in their bras. (Though we've all read the stories of cancer survivors being harassed.) I certainly accept his claim that he was subject to extra harassment because he was a man.
(And why bother imitating Britney Spears!? Why not someone with talent?)
