TSA and Dragons.
Nov. 19th, 2010 06:17 pmMy sister is flying me out to visit her, across country, December 6-13. I have not seen her in many years, and I've not met my newest nephew, yet. AND the elusive Mudgebeast will pop over for a short visit while I'm there as well. All of the above is quite exciting.
This is the first time I have flown in over 2 years, so I've been paying a lot of attention to all of the hysteria about the full body scanner things, and the groping pat down if you refuse. So I've been pondering this a lot, as to which option I'll choose if I'm asked to go through the cartoon nakie pictures scanner guy.
It's an odd question for the erismind. Because while I'm a big fan of modest clothing, I also have no issue with nudity. So the idea of the TSA agents looking at "nude" pictures of me does not really bother me one whit. However, on the other hand, I think the existence of such devices is ridiculous overkill and if enough people refuse them, then it sort of makes it overly expensive for them to keep using them.
So, I have decided that I will opt for the groping, if given the choice. I have been making the joke that I'm doing this because I'm not getting enough action, so hey, FREE GROPING. Plus, it's supposed to be a same sex TSA agent doing it. So I will make sure to leer at her and make some comment about she should have bought me drinks first or some such.
Meanwhile on facebook, my friend!Luis and my mum (Jean) are awesome.
