It seems some airport security staff are more interested in looking at what lies underneath women’s clothes rather than respecting passengers.

Amy Sullivan, senior editor of Time magazine, was at a security checkpoint in Miami Airport on Tuesday when she opted out of passing through a backscatter scanning device - described by experts as a 'virtual strip search'.

12. "Unreliable"? You think the DM fabricates lawsuit stories? You're the knee-jerk responder here.

6. Larry Craig would love a job with TSA.

He'd probably do it for free.

7. It's a perversion in the same school as the sexual perversions in Gitmo & Abu Ghraib,

Both are meant to demean, humiliate, and demoralize, in essence, breaking down the victim in order to make them more compliant, IMHO.
