QuoteComing back from Chicago, Celeste, like increasing numbers of travelers, was forced to make a difficult choice – either allow strangers to see her naked or allow strangers to touch and squeeze her breasts and groin in full view of other travels and TSA agents.  "This was a nightmare come to life," Celeste says, "I said I didn't want them to see me naked and the agent started yelling Opt out- we have an opt here.  Another agent took me aside and said they would have to pat me down.  He told me he was going to touch my genitals and asked if I wouldn't rather just go through the scanner, that it would be less humiliating for me.  I was in shock.  I couldn't believe this was happening.  I kept saying I don't want any of this to happen.  I was whispering please don't do this, please, please."

I did check for alternative sources on the "enhanced pat down", and there's plenty, including the TSA blog which basically says "If you don't want to be seen, get a room".

So either I get seen naked in the full-body scanner, or I get my boobs groped when I fly. Should be a festival holiday season, indeed. But we do this for America™ and our Freedom™, right?

I think what they are basically doing here is to make the pat down procedure so unbearable, embarrassing, etc., that everyone decides to go through the scanners.  Social engineering at work.

The proper action is to immediately begin disrobing in public.

I dont see what her being a Wiccan or a rape-victim has to do with it.

If it's horrible and humiliating (and it certainly seems to be the case), it doesn't need those extra qualifiers for people to notice.

Voluntarily publicly stripping for a strip search? :lulz:

Embarrassing was last year when the lady who patted me down in Tampa International asked if I was pregnant...and then swiftly tried to cover it up by saying it was "okay" to be bloated after Christmas. This year, I get to show them my stretch marks and openly admit to being a fat ass.

You bet.  Can you imagine the reaction from the TSA?

"No, I'm good.  Let's just do this, ok?"  ZZZZZIP.

Whatever

I wish I had the guts to do that.  As it is, I don't think I will be flying anytime soon.  Neither option of either going through the porn scanner or being groped in public is acceptable to me.

I believe this is one of few aceptable protest uses of vacuum pumping your genitals to horrific size.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

It would seem that the logical course of action is to enjoy the groping.
Is it plugged in?

It occurs to me it would be quite the attention grabber to do this with some thick black lettering on your body saying something like "FOR YOUR PROTECTION" or "SECURITY AT ALL COSTS."

Might be the kind of stunt to finally bring this airport security business to a head.
