now the horror is in the interminable news loop, an' thousands
of others suffered too.
I wuz groped two weeks ago.
By the TSA.
In Birmingham.
Because I wuz wearing a skirt (they said).
Now they's gropin' ever'body who doan wanna be a porn star. Decline naked shots wif' the body scanner?
Git in the grope line.
Ain't gonna shiver ya' none by givin' details of ' the indignity, the places an' depth of the violation.
"Mam, I'm real sorry, but I need to pat you here," the chile of 25 or so said. Her face was scarlet.
"Is this a new procedure?" I as't.
"Yes'm," she mumbled. Pat. Pat, slide, pat pat, sliiiiiide. Latex fingers probed whar' no woman has ever been.
I drew a shocked breath, "This ain't seemly, Honey," I said.
"No Mam, it ain't. I am real sorry. Now I need you to turn this way, Mam."
"Why'd ya pick on me, jes' wonderin'?"
"Well, you have on a skirt."
"An' thas terrifying attire'?"
" I am so sorry Mam."
Iffin' I'd 4 workin' brain cells and an ounce of energy left that late afternoon, I'd have swirled mah skirts around, marched downstairs, rented a buggy an driven the 11 hours home.
Barrin' an emergency, it may be a long long time afore I git on a flying cattle car, cause I doubt Uncle Santa will put a NetJet card in mah stockin'.Mark Steyn commented on this new putrefaction of civic life. He suggested we's busy profiling
things instead of people. Can things turn jets into terror weapons? The "shoe bomber" and the "underwear bomber" as if pair of BVDs could blast a building to bits.
"What happens when a woman goes aboard a plane with her implants filled with jello explosives? The boob bomb. Then will TSA insist on squeezing every set of mammary glands that boards a plane? What if we get an ori-fice bomber?"
People. Please.
WHAT?
What will it take for Americans to resist this descent into utter madness.
What will it take?
