This is just beyond absurd. They won't profile Muslims for fear of discrimination, but they are telling all women what kind of bras they can/can't wear?! If they actually start checking for this, there's going to be trouble. And no, I will not put up with bra checks in the 'name of safety'. What about the name of decency and common sense? Can you even imagine a woman being asked to remove her bra because they're afraid she could make a bomb with it? I joked a while ago that we will soon be required to strip down and fly naked or in a government-issued paper gown (after an x-ray and cavity search). If things keep going down this road, my joke won't be far off from reality.

Even El Al doesn't take it that far.

LazAir would be a hit, baby.

Now, apparently well-endowed women will become the next "profile" victims.

Don't all these padded bras violate 'Truth in Advertising' laws?

A girlfriend suggested I go to a bar with her without a bra under my tight shirt, but I declined. Just looked toooooo sleezy.

Make anyone who wants to fly:

A) Renounce Allah and Mohammed.

B) Eat bacon.

C) Fart towards Mecca.

and D) Wear a pigskin blanket and lifejacket.

If you fly a great deal go to a TSA office and let them do a background check on you and issue you a special fly card.

When did the gov. start doing that, and if so is it taking place in all states?

Why couldn't they just use the actual implants as explosives?
Wait a minute...that's almost a serious question...)

don't laugh. there was a Nip/Tuck episode where girls got huge breast implants filled with cocaine in South America and then the drug lord forced the plastic surgeon to remove them when they got to the US!

Not that I've ever needed a gel bra, but I understand it's to make a woman appear more endowed. Sort of false advertising.

Well then what about the other scenario, a 100+ degree day and they start to boil.

That's all well and good for females, but what am I to do with my penile erection pump? I had it installed just before Viagra came along and because it operates on 10W30, I'm not allowed outdoors when it's 15 degrees Fahrenheit or below. Now, I can't even fly anymore unless I first drain my crankcase.

Just Damn
