Conor, I have very long hair.
I got a hair comb made by hand in South Africa, that helps poor women get money by doing native crafts. I can fit all my hair into a bun that is held in place by this very nice beaded comb.
Even though I went through the X-Ray machine, the TSA forced me to undo the comb and remove it. My carefully plaited hair fell down around my shoulders. Then the agent poked through my hair with her blue rubber gloves like she was a school nurse looking for cooties.
I wouldn’t mind if this prevented tragedy, but the TSA has never stopped a single terrorist in their entire career.
However, they have made a bundle selling grandma’s antique embroidery scissors on ebay.
I know...I’m ranting.
But just when Boston needs a Giuliani, a Patacki, and a Bush, they have a Menino, a Duval, and an obama.
The TSA is such a laugher....they concentrate on the strangest things.
Sounds like they don’t trust their x-ray machine.
And ranting is good for you. Rant away!!
