gonna fly, wear a kilt

[renfairephotog]

That's the basic idea behind a clever twist to the "National Opt-Out Day" campaign, which seeks to backlog the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) with as many forced frisks as possible on Nov. 24.

Wear a Kilt

TSA Opt-Out Day, Now with a Superfantastic New Twist!

[Noble Dreg]

I like it!!!

I love his closing..."So put on a kilt, and strike a blow against stupidity"!

Curious, they insist on using same-sex "fondelers", what if you're gay?  Do they find a mollester of the opposite sex?

As one who flies frequently I have serious reservations about this new procedure.  Pose for a personal porno or allow "Larry" to grope you...What have we become?

[Lady Nicolette]

Pretty clever idea!

"Sir, this is your 5th time through security today"!

LOL Noble!

Wondering if I should take a Sharpie to my Brobdingnagian Bards bumper sticker on the dog limo and make it read:
Real Men Wear Kilts...On Airplanes...

[Capt. Bacardi]

I would love to see there reaction on there face.    "That is right, I am regimental and you just touched the lads."

[Toarmod]

Sooo... If you just lift the front of your kilt when they ask to do thier "search" is that considered flashing? LOL better yet just "BRAVEHEART" em.

There is a sad side to this whole thing. The invasive vagi** and labi* inspection is very traumatic to survivors of rape and molestation.

[LadyStitch]

What bothers me most is the fact that they have to do those searchs.  That people have, and do  try to hide things in places they shouldn't. 
It is that 1 person in 1000 that require the other 999 to be searched like this.

I so heartily agree Dona. What a flashback. It will bring up emotions and will be traumatic for that person.
I would not like to be a parent of young children and have them touched in this manner. We tell children it is wrong to have someone touch them, but yet, the government can get away with it.
Sure there needs to be safety standards, but what a twisted way to inspect a person. Have the security personnel been screened for deviants? I know I am stretching, but that has been on my mind, too.

[Tink]

I must be living under a really big rock.  Are they really getting that invasive with the pat downs?!

[irish]

From what I understand Tink, they will use the front of the hand not the back of the hand. They will actually use fingers on the breasts and crotch areas.
Very invasive.......

Basically if you did this to someone, you'd be arrested for sexual assault.  We didn't get that intimate with prisoners in Iraq.

The TSA has always been a farce.  These high tech machines of thiers will only see metal.  Last I checked plastic explosive was just that - PLASTIC.
1 gram is all that is needed to being down an airliner.  If I have that stashed in my nether regions, a pat down through the searchers rubber gloves, my pants and drawers will not find it no matter how hard you press.
The way to fix this is to copy the Israelies.  In over 30 years not one airplane has been hijacked, etc that took of from Ben Gurion airport in Jerusalem.
