"If you're not willing to dress in a way that leaves nothing to the imagination you'll be sorry." Once they have us all frightened into spandex-only airport outfits it'll be that much easier to ogle the young women. This directive, like the others, will be unevenly applied to those young women that screeners particularly want to watch being humiliated and felt up in a public place.
I agree.
The TSA website makes clear (and has since it debuted) that security doesn't demand a certain type of dress.
Perhaps the TSA should publicly admit the truth:
The TSA does not require any particular type of clothing, but failure to wear tight or body-hugging clothing greatly increases the odds that a screener will fondle your breasts and genitals.
Can't be too safe, after all.
THANK YOU, Stone.
Thank you very much.
