Augmented Breasts Will Require Additional Inspection at Airports
TravelGearBlog ^ | September 27th, 2006 | TravelGearBlog

Posted on 09/27/2006 10:34:09 PM PDT by Westlander

The TSA’s changes to the complete liquid ban may require persons with augmented breasts (or other body parts) to comply with further inspections at security checkpoints.

Excerpts from the TSA bulletin effective Sept 26, 2006:

In addition to the above changes, the following guidance is provided to ensure the health and welfare of certain air travelers the following items are permitted…

Items used to augment the body for medical or cosmetic reasons such as mastectomy products, prosthetic breasts, bras or shells containing gels, saline solution, or other liquids; and items exceed 3 ounces or are not contained in a one-quart, zip-top plastic bag, you MUST declare to one of our Security Officers at the checkpoint for further inspection.

So what's next, body cavity searches on every passenger?

I think it all goes to prove that you will NEVER be safe on a commercial airline. You cannot think or expect that the government, the airlines or the poor working joes who scan people and luggage day in and day out, can prevent or protect you from a terrorist action on a plane.

If we can think of a scenario, you can very well bet that it's already in consideration by the terrorists and they have things up their sleeves that normal people haven't even considered yet. I'm a frequent flier so it's not a very comforting thought for me, but it's reality.

You are 100% correct.

It is foolish to think that the government, or the police, or anybody else, can somehow make life safe. Life is challenge and danger, in addition to beauty and calm.

It cracks me up when NASA talks about "making sure the Space Shuttle is safe." SAFE?!?!? HAH!! Right, strap yourself into a tin-can mounted on a pair of huge firecrackers with a tank of hydrogen, blasted to Mach-10, and shot into space... "SAFE"?!?!? What a joke. Astronauts get my vote for guts, every time.

Personally, I like high, fast rollercoasters, I ride a motorcycle, and I hang over the edge of every tall place I stand. I take it for granted that the airplane I'm riding in Saturday might go down, blow up, or whatever. My family's with me, no less. But like you say, it's reality, and staying home in bed with the covers pulled over one's head is no way to live.

My 79-year-old mother had two mastectomies, and she wears a bra with gel-filled cups. No more trips to Florida for her, I guess.

I sincerely hope nobody you love ever has breast cancer, then.

Of course somebody can sneak gel onto a plane. Hell, they can do it easier that fake boobs, with a gel-filled baggie shoved up their butthole -- more room, harder to detect, and if they're going to blow it up it hardly matters which part of the body explodes first, does it?

If I understood the story of the plane plot the gel doesn't explode on its own. The terrorists would sneak chemicals in and then mix them into explosives once on board. So under-the-skin sources won't do unless they are planning a little surgery in the bathroom. Suppositories would work. So would insoles. So would the external prosthetics that women who have had mastectomies often choose to put in their bras.

The way this except reads they are not looking for anything that can't be easily removed and put in a bag (although it would be an embarrassment).

Shalom.
