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

This has improved slightly in recent times, but really it's not that much different than when I was on the plane with teh nut job waving a knife and gun.
