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 Administrations (TSA) security precautions in airports by describing body scans and mandatory pat downs as crossing the line in regard to peoples concerns about privacy and beneath the dignity of air travelers. But just two months later, the anti-abortion McDonnell had no problem violating womens 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."
