Lori Dorn, the wife of Laughing Squid's Scott Beale, recently submitted to a backscatter scan at JFK airport. The TSA pulled her aside for a breast patdown, even though she stated she had breast implants in place after her bilateral mastectomy. Of course, that didn't stop them.
They didn't even let her take out the Device Identification Card that would could have explained where the implants came from and their medical purpose. No. Instead they humiliated her in public

Who even feels like flying anymore? I’ve been avoiding it...
Lori Dorn
Yeah, my wife wants to go on a trip, but I keep coming up with driving trips. Why haven’t the airlines stood up for their customers at all.
I have too. But soon I’m not going to have a choice. I can foresee a minimum of four flights that I’ll be forced to take.
In January I’m going to have spinal surgery and I’m going to have two long rods implanted in my back.
For the rest of my life, dealing with TSA gets to be a lot of fun...
Whoop.

This needs to be one of our conservative goals, right after Bozo care repeal, shut down the TSA and let the airlines handle their own security. This is one of the biggest mistakes Bush and the boys made, along with the frickin’ Homeland Security dept. We need to disband that one too, along with the EPA and the BATFE. Just for starters(No, I didn’t forget the dept of Ed.).
Me too....on my last vacation I drove 28 hours rather than fly 6.
In today’s world, I have resolved that if I can’t drive there, I won’t go there. There’s plenty to see and do in the good ole US of A.
I love getting off the interstates and driving the back roads of this great and beautiful land.
It’s helps that I’m retired and now have time to do this, though. I realize everyone can’t.
>>Why havent the airlines stood up for their customers at all.
Because people are still flying for vacations and business trips. You aren’t a human being to the TSA or the airlines.
Haven't flown since 2006. I might belt somebody if I did.
Who doesn't think TSA has its own zip code in hell?
Because you don't bite the hand that allows you to stay in business.
Yes and nothing is going to be done about it. I am waiting to see what a Republican President does about TSA. I have a $10 bet with myself that the answer is “nothing”.
You need a whole bunch of politicans of the people to accomplish that. A we have are political elites to choose from. It would take a revolution on the level of 1776 to right this ship.

Comply With Me
Comply with me, before you fly away
Remove those shoes and take a cruise
Through my peekaboo X-ray
Comply with me, I’m your friendly TSA
Comply with me, you domestic coach class bums
If you opt out I’ll just give a shout
To my icy-handed chums
Comply with me, bend over here it comes
Once I get all up there where your hair is ticklish
I’ll just fish
Got my wish
Once I get all up there you’ll be squirming like an eel
You may squeal
At the feel
When we’re together
Proctology is such a lovely trade
I’ll show you love with my rubber glove
Try not to be afraid
I’d be a perfect gentleman, if you had just obeyed
Comply with me, I’m GS8 pay grade
Janet Napolitano says to spread ‘em wide
Have you tried Astro-glide?
Janet Napolitano knows your clothes are off
Head aloft
Turn it and cough
When we’re together
Don’t crack wise or I’ll ruin your whole day
Please don’t frown when I pat you down
It alerts the CIA
It’s perfectly legal practice except at Gitmo Bay
Comply with me, comply comply
Comply with me, obey, obey, obey!
Check out the security risks on that one! Yeah!
I hear you. We live in PA, took a New England cruise out of NJ, and it didn't require flying. It was great.
Wow, a long drive...
Nice! You get a "gallows-humor bump"!
Well girl, I’d say it’s about time you made it to WV. We may be poor, but we got more of God’s beauty than anybody.
