My Dad after a burrito is now considered a terrorist?

The 'Burrito Bomber'.

Didn't intend to be offensive and after reading it i could see that it was. I have nothing against anyone who is gay, I just don't want to be forced into anyone touching my junk without my consent...and someone who is attracted to the same sex grabbing my junk bothers me even more. Besides, Who says it's not sexual to them?

I've gone through a full body scanner when it was optional because the line was shorter than the standard metal detector and it doesn't really bother me. However, I do feel like it is a violation of my privacy, space, and rights to be subjected to someone sticking their hand inside my pants and grabbing my junk if I refuse to go through the body scanner.

Again sorry for the post... Sometimes I speak my mind when I shouldn't.

I don't consider mine junk.

I just passed through the FLL (Fort Lauderdale) and MDW (Midway Chicago) airports and no nudy-screeners, no hassle. I even joked around with some of the TSA guys.

They are humans, after all. Most are just trying to do their job, even they don't agree with what they are doing.

However, there are some that let a little power get to their heads.

Gently used?

Given the fact that the TSA’s own woeful background checks for their own employees allows rapists and pedophiles to get jobs as pat down agents, will you allow TSA workers to put their hands down the pants of your daughter or wife?

I have to take that site with a huge grain of salt. Anyone who says you have to stockpile gold and food kind of strikes me as a tad alarmist in any case.

But if any of that's true, it's pretty horrific.

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure either but it makes for good news.

They did arrest a TSA screener back in march for a few child sex crimes though.
