What if it was your daughter who had - say a bra and panty set thing with some metallic accents - and the TSA told your daughter she couldn't board the plane with them on and made her remove them. On the ensuing flight, your frightened and upset daughter cried the whole way to wherever you are going, causing your fatherly instincts to go over the top - understandably so.

I would enjoy saying to you -- "WAAAHHHHHHHH"

TSA should introduce a "no nipple rings, no bra no panties in plane" law. Gonna be fun!

I actually once flashed a security agent a couple of years back.

I was transferring flights at a terminal where you had to exit security and then re-enter at the other gate. The first flight got in later than anticipated and I was in a hurry to get to the connecting flight. The largish security type started yelling at me as I was taking off my coat and shoes about belts and jewelry and blah blah blah. So I quickly lifted my shirt to show her that there was no belt... but lifted it a bit higher than intended and I kinda proved that there was no underwire in the bra that I wasn't wearing either.

And... I made the connecting flight.

Did you get extra altitude also?

If only we had more people like you, the TSA agents would be a lot happier at their work, and wouldn't make life so miserable for the rest of us.

Do you really want to sit naked in the seat that was occupied by the sweaty fat guy on the previous flight?

Na. I'd rather fly in the Airbus bed w/ a really hot Euro chick.

I fly thru that airport alot, it makes me wonder what gauge they were... I have an 18 ga hood piercing and it has never caused problems... If they ever told me to take it out, I would throw all kinds of a fit... not worth it to me. If the metal can be explained they should let it go.

Setara Qassim said she was flying home to Burbank, Calif., from Las Vegas in June when a Southwest Airlines flight attendant gave her a blanket and told her to cover up.

Meh, that's not unique to airlines - this time last year I was out in Perris for a couple of weeks and had a weather-hold day so we drove to Six Flags. One of the girls who came with me was refused entry because her clothes were apparently too revealing.

We had to have a whip-round through the group to donate her some more clothes before they would let her in through the gates.

That's pretty sick if you enjoy that.


The original comment is that the creeps in the TSA were out of line, and it's likely she could have gone through a normal route of complaints and likely had their jobs. Instead, she cries, and files a civil rights case, and holds interviews etc. I doubt she even tried other routes before going straight to the courts. Thus, she's a knee jerk baby.

uh huh - and your point is?


now, suppose it was your mom working at the TSA, and someone comes in and throws a big pile of rat droppings on her shoes, and then sticks a plastic fork in her eye. You'd be pretty mad wouldn't you?

(just more whimsical random "what if's" that are so popular here)

IIRC, she did attempt the normal route of complaints, and was told the agents acted appropriately. Only then did she go to the media.

This policy is understandable - they need to protect innocent Christians who cannot think about God anymore when they see a hot female (or male, like mr. Craig) body.

Sometime I really wonder why the women here are not forced yet to cover their faces.

Which reason?

to cover up attractive women because they are distracting?

or to cover up the ugly ones?
