TSA strikes again

[Alex & Rachel 78]

I don't like people unjustly searching through my property. There's no reason government agents need to check inside my luggage. They have the technology to scan packages and ensure the things they don't want in there aren't in there. They don't need someone physically going through personal belongings.

The problem with this whole process is we pay them to do so. It's still beyond me why anyone checks luggage when they fly. Take a carry on only. Ship what you can't carry.

Cut the TSA out of it.

Flying this summer, my checked-on luggage was left alone, whereas I was selected at random to have every square inch of my carry-on luggage searched.

They will soon.

Oh, and don't forget to stop in and make a report about your neighbors.

Yeah that hotline the TSA set up should really help matters.

You can't say bomb in this thread.

Also shouldn't say sex toy. Change it to an 'attitude adjustment helper'.

In all seriousness, that's what those things really are.

I remember talking with my wife a few years ago about my frequent masturbation. "Why you play whis zis so much? You like child whis toy!" I informed her I was the only one in my family that was gainfully employed, not taking anti-depressants, not always mad at the world, etc. She asked, "And you wanna say it's because of zis?"

I stopped for a few days.... she helped me get started again.

Coupled with chocolate, I'm not sure why anyone has problems.

Well I was thinking more along the lines of the woman using the 'attitude adjustment helper' but what ever floats your gears.

Vibrator quip gets US airport security agent in hot water

AFP – 5 hrs ago

A US airport security agent who found a vibrator in the baggage of a transatlantic traveler, and then advised her in writing what to do with it, is facing disciplinary action.

The US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) said Wednesday that a handwritten note that lawyer and blogger Jill Filipovic found in her checked luggage was "highly inappropriate and unprofessional."

Filipovic tweeted a picture of the note, which read: "Get your freak on girl." Under the image, she added: "Just unpacked my suitcase and found this note from TSA. Guess they discovered a 'personal item' in my bag. Wow."

"TSA quickly launched an investigation and identified the employee responsible," the federal agency said on its blog.

"That individual was immediately removed from screening operations and appropriate disciplinary action has been initiated."

Filipovic lives in New York. Her Twitter account indicated Wednesday that she had flown to Dublin to talk about feminism, sexual assault and abortion at Trinity College.

On her Feministe website, she recalled another airport experience, a few months ago, when "an agent in Cameroon pulled a tampon out of my bag and manhandled it for a while before smelling it and then asking me what it was."
