A shameless repost...

And, in the absence of capturing Osama, while TSA continues to molest Americans at the airports this holiday season, I contribute the Woman Traveler's Carol (to the tune of "I'll Be Home for Christmas") -- the scansion isn't perfected yet, but here goes:

THE WOMAN TRAVELER'S CAROL

You'll be groped for Christmas,
If you choose to fly.
Friendly skies are friendlier
If you're not a guy.

You'll be groped for Christmas,
Just you wait and see.
TSA found T&A
Underneath their tree.

If you scream in protest,
You will miss your flight.
You'll be groped for Christmas,
Or jailed for Christmas night.

(As that radical Ben Franklin said, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.")

And what liberty is being given up, praytell? One can choose to fly and undergo security measures that will ensure the safety of oneself and other passengers on a plane, a vulnerable transport....or choose not to fly.

I've really come to hate flying. I only fly when I absolutely can't avoid it. I did fly to Idaho last summer when my mother had surgery - it's an 11 hour drive, and my back can't take it anymore. last time I drove to Idaho and back, I was bedridden with pain killers and muscle relaxers for 3 days.
