Is it just me, or is everyone operating out of weird fear of what our government could become and in the process helping it along?
Meanwhile, the airport thing I posted last night got Metafiltered: http://www.metafilter.com/mefi/37361 where we discover that her story is apparently neither credible nor sympathetic because -- 1. she was crying, 2. she calls her partner "my beloved", 3. she's queer -- and that having strangers insert their fingers into our orafices is just the price we pay for safety.
Welcome to life as a woman. We do not exist except in perfection and blandness. I wonder, if she hadn't cried, would they have said she liked it?
Her defense, all of which involves points so obvious one really shouldn't have to make them, is here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/strange_selkie/87392.html

Date: 2004-12-01 09:14 am (UTC)Near as I recall they have to have probable cause, and alot more authority than what was exibited. I'm begining to think that maybe some rogue TSA worker just wanted to have ' fun '. It's not unheard of.
A cowerker here recently went on a trip , bught a new gym bag time duffel w/out a lock, and it was cut open then put on the luggage conveyor belt. Her clothing made the rounds several times before the bag appeared.
I posted a reply giving the number and email addy of the TSA civil rights line. I hope someone reports this.
