		<description>Yeah, me too. Since transitioning I have never once not been pulled for ancillary screening and such. Different == scary == dangerous! </description>

		<description>This, so much this. I have never understood the entire point of it all when it would be just as emotionally scarring for someone to walk in and detonate in the line before the scan. And the way the US handles things, it seems like the reaction would be a supplementary security point you would have to get through before you get to the primary security site...

		<description>After I had gone through, there was a small screen on the &quot;safe&quot; side of the unit, and it had an outline of a generic person in scan position.  On that, the crotch was highlighted.  Not, mercifully, my actual scan. Maybe it wasn&#039;t part of the unit and was just right there next to it?  I probably wasn&#039;t supposed to see it, but there was a fair bit of loitering and back and forth back in and out of the scanner while we discussed.</description>

		<description>Word.

Of course there&#039;s the Canadian solution of using documentation anomalies, instead of crotch anomalies, to make it illegal for trans people to fly.

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever. 

If you want a picture of the future, imagine crotch anomalies being inspected --- forever. See? I fixed it. </description>

		<description>Yeah that is pretty interesting.  I like this part:  &quot;.. and my right arm came down and moved away 
his hand briskly.&quot;

He&#039;s unable to take responsibility even for the actions of his own arm and hand.  He&#039;s a natural for politics.</description>

		<description>So THOUSANDS OF POUNDS OF METH make it past the TSA for a little $$, but GRANNIES CROTCH absolutely must be PHOTOGRAPHED repeatedly or FONDLED.  NO EXCEPTIONS IF YOU WANT TO FLY.  

Ill just throw this one out there since most dont even contemplate it in the least.
You know why they are scared of the feeble elderly??  Because they know what it used to be like in America before greed took over and they are so old they dont have a lot to live for, thereby making them an immediate threat. Well either that or some disgusting GILF fantasy...

Hear the one about the 2 elderly ex-agents and a friend of theirs planning attacks on some government place?  They were in a position to truly see the bullshit going on before they retired.  They got caught, but I believe that is the reason they keep fondling the elderly, they are afraid of their cute little wrinkled old faces hiding ill intent to bring down the greedy hypocrisy.   Let alone all the abuse on beautiful women being repeatedly scanned for laughs, and little girls being traumatized by ignorant fat lazy idiots with a little control.  

The TSA reminds me of the morons cops from the 5th element.  They show up and ask what is behind the door, one guy says meat popsicle and is left alone.  

PS I just love it when I spell a word correctly and the spell checker underlines it anyways....(popsicle for instance)-----------------
Technology making us stupid since it was invented...</description>

		<description>If I am not mistaken, the computer systems in these devices generate a certain number of random alerts both to test the &quot;officers&quot; and to somehow keep terrorists guessing. (Never understood that last part, they (if &quot;they&quot; actually exist in significant numbers which does not seem to be the case) intend to die blowing up a large number of Americans and a crowded security area would do just fine.)

The computer  enhanced x-ray machines do this as well.  Random highlights of stuff that require your luggage get dumped out and pawed over.

These are mind-numbingly boring jobs and I suspect someone thinks this helps keep these blockheads on their toes.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If I am not mistaken, the computer systems in these devices generate a certain number of random alerts both to test the &#8220;officers&#8221; and to somehow keep terrorists guessing. (Never understood that last part, they (if &#8220;they&#8221; actually exist in significant numbers which does not seem to be the case) intend to die blowing up a large number of Americans and a crowded security area would do just fine.)</p>

		<description>you mean the highjackers have less credibility because they were not religious nut-jobs, but, seemingly, normal soldiers going into battle? I will have to think about that for a while.</description>

		<description>Can I get a pricecheck for a flight in the USA?

It appears to be, 1 humanity + 1 dignity.

Seems quite expensive.</description>

		<description> There are several fails, even if there was a real reason for an alert.

TSA should be required to construct open areas whose design dampens sound dramatically, so that when a problem is detected, the passenger and screener can walk to the dampened area and talk, but are still where they&#039;re visible to others for ensuring that proper liberties for the passenger are maintained.

TSA should be trained on proper vocabulary.

TSA should use the proper gender staff when even just discussing primary and secondary sexual characteristics.

Of course, I agree with the air marshal statement even more.  I would be surprised if this costs less than the basic metal detector security we had twelve years ago plus an air marshal on every flight.  If they don&#039;t want to pay for hotel rooms for air marshals, they could construct or appropriate space on the airport grounds for barracks that the air marshals could sleep in when their schedules don&#039;t permit turnaround flights.  High end airport lounges manage to be built where they&#039;re quiet, I don&#039;t see why they couldn&#039;t apply the same techniques to sleeping quarters for security personnel.</description>

		<description>At the risk of starting a disagreement here, I was confused by the part of the story where you said you looked over at the screen and saw your image.  I travel a bunch for work and follow these TSA stories quite closely and my understanding and experience is that the monitor that shows the scanner results is never in view of the public.

Was I reading correctly that you were seeing the image of your scan?</description>

		<description>The article&#039;s author now believes Al Qaeda has won. Clearly none of the thousands of other similar stories prior to this were persuasive; it had to happen to someone with whom he had a close personal connection.

As long as people are only swayed by what affects them directly and personally, this bullshit will go on.</description>
