McDonnell: TSA Pat Downs Are ‘Invasive,’ But Ultrasound Bill ‘Respects The Dignity Of Women’

http://thinkprogress.org/health/2012/02/28/433835/mcdonnell-tsa-pat-downs-are-invasive-but-ultrasound-bill-respects-the-dignity-of-women/

In November of 2010, Gov. Bob McDonnell (R-VA) joined the public outcry against the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) security precautions in airports by describing body scans and mandatory pat downs as crossing “the line” in regard “to people’s concerns about privacy” and “beneath the dignity” of air travelers. But just two months later, the anti-abortion McDonnell had no problem violating women’s privacy and freedom to make medical decisions by throwing his support behind a measure that originally required women seeking abortions to undergo ultrasounds in which a wand is inserted into the vagina.

the TSA screener should stick an ultrasound wand into McDonnell where the sun don't shine. Maybe then he'd get the real meaning of the word "invasive."

Even one as simple as ice cream for dessert. I don't want him to have it.
