ETA: See the question that box asks now? That's not what it used to say. The original question asked which Harry Potter character would you submit to a pat down and why if you were TSA for Hogwarts.
What LJ was thinking: two hot topics get exponentially hotter together.
What LJ actually did: trivialized a significant political and individual rights issue in the US and effectively asked people what fictional characters they'd like to sexually assault.
Sexual assualt: not hot or funny.
The erosion of personal freedom and the application of a whole lot of -isms in the name of security theater: also not hot or funny.
*sigh*

But it has flipped me from "EXCITING ADVENTURES NEXT YEAR" mode into "ACK SO MANY THINGS COULD GO WRONG what if I get lost and they lose my luggage and they detain me for questioning and then later when Im wandering around in america I get kidnapped and robbed and then everyone I go to visit isn't there and I'm like how do I move around in this strange country and then the airport people turn up and are like we think you're a spy also you have socialist ideas and put me in a detainment facility that is not allowed by international law but apparently america doesn't care about this and then I never see my friends and family again?!?!" mode.

Alsoalso, if you get put into a detainment facility, I will get a bunch of people together and we will rescue you.
