Underwire Bra Makes Flight a Bust [Merged Threads]
From today's SF Gate:
Security bust: Berkeley woman misses flight when bra triggers alarm http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...HVK3.DTL&tsp=1 Note the multitude of reader responses, virtually all of which pan the TSA. Just out of curiosity, what exactly do they do to ensure that someone who says that his artificial hip is what set off the wand really has an artificial hip? Do they make that person strip? Stick a probe in? TSA: Continuing to prove that they can find more and more idiotic ways to violate personal rights. |
So back she went to the ladies room, then through the security line a second time. Walking through the airport bra-less can be embarrassing for a large-chested woman, not to mention uncomfortable. The metal detector didn't beep on the second time through, but then officials decided to go through Kates' carry-on luggage, she said. Nice. Way to win the battle, but lose the PR war. Love this part of the article.... Barry Steinhardt, the director of the ACLU's technology and liberty program, said Monday of federal security officials, "They can't find bombs in checked luggage, and they're essentially doing a pat-down of private parts. This is a security apparatus that is out of control." |
bad, but still not as bad as that story out of Texas where a women had to remove her nipple piercing while all the agents giggle and laughed about it.

The completely immature grade-school kid inside of me is chucking at the use of both bra and bust in the title of the thread.

New sketch for SNL
I can just imagine the SNL character guys (Roxbury guys), working at the TSA.
First Skit: Hey, that girls looks hot. Let's make here take off her bra. She goes through, and they make a "Beep" noise. So, off she goes to remove the bra. She comes back, and they "Beep" again. This time time they make her take another undergarment. Repeat, like you're playing strip poker with ANS. At the end, have them do their moves, and break the glass divider when they whack their heads into it. |

### I notice in the linked article that Kates flies "about once a month." We gotta find her and get her to post on FT. |

The story up to the carryon bag search made sense - but why did they spend 40 minutes looking through her carryon?

What we need is a federal judge with the stones to go against the people who sign his paycheck to provide a major smackdown to the TSA. Not going to happen any time soon. |

Because they were asstards who had the power. Idiot Boy and Skeletor both claim there are no such things as punitive secondaries. This report needs to be crammed down both of their throats.

The TSA has earned the booby prize on this one.
