Before playing with my genitals, TSA should...

Let's face it... none of us (well, none of us passengers at least ) like the idea of TSA being obsessed with our genitals. But here we are, and Mr. Pistole seems to have a fetish over groping little boys.

Anyway, if TSA is going to insist upon either peeking at or playing with our genitals in the near future for us to fly, I think that a few more policies should be adopted by the organization to help make the flying public feel more comfortable with the process. I suggest the following, to start:

1. Each passenger should be allowed to select the specific screener at the checkpoint to provide the screening to him/her.

2. Each screener should have to divulge their sex and sexual preference to passengers before they are screened.

3. Each screener should have to undergo a rigorous psychological examination annually. If not passed, then the person is dismissed from the agency. This examination will be designed to detect sexual deviance/irregularities, tendencies to steal items from passengers, and bribability in each individual.

Additional thoughts?

Any excessive touching is grounds for immediate dismissal.

I really do feel for those who have survived sexual assault being faced with the choice of either genital groping or being leered at to simply travel by air.

Does anyone on here watch Dexter?

There was a great scene in last night's episode where a character who had been badly sexually abused received a thorough pat down at the airport. I thought she was going to lose it for sure. I can't begin to imagine what a sexual assault survivor must feel with all that unwanted touching.

I just saw this. I found it to be spectacularly realistic.

What does the sexual preference of the screener have to do with anything? I'm GAY and I don't necessarily want another GAY MAN touching me if I don't feel comfortable with it.

Personally give me a STRAIGHT screener and watch the fun insue as I have fun with him as he's touching certain areas of my groin
