Safe from Raquel Welch's Bustier

From New York Post - Page Six

"Raquel Welch escaped the Oscar madness in LA only to get held up at the security checkpoint at O'Hare in Chicago after her black Dolce & Gabbana bustier set off the metal detector. Welch was in town to tape "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and promote her new book, "Raquel: Beyond the Cleavage." The star was patted down by a TSA agent for several minutes in a clear, square box in full view of waiting passengers. The agent eventually blamed the problem on the boning in her bustier. "She probably isn't going to fly in a bustier anymore," said Welch's spokeswoman."

This is needlessly intrusive enough. But, could you imagine what would have happened if they put her through a stripsearch machine? My guess is that we would already have conclusive evidence out on the "internets" whether or not the images can be saved or recorded on a cellphone camera.

For her age, she looks fantastic; objectively, she's still not at all shabby.

I'm sure my wife would love to look like her when she hits that age. I wouldn't mind, either - and I was never a huge fan of Raquel Welch, even.

Glad to hear that TSA is keeping the American Flying Public safe from her EEEEEEEE-vul bustier!

Date on the pic is 2009. Raquel still looks great.
