Fear of Flying?

The Doctor has an excellent write-up of new TSA procedures.
Oh, and ginmar, a veteran actually trained in doing full-body searches, offers her take on the usefulness of TSA procedures. Note: Any articles or blog posts about the TSA should be considered potentially triggering for anyone with any kind of triggers.

Times like this, I'm almost grateful I don't have anywhere to fly to.

(And of course, every time I think of airport security, I think of Michael Tony Futi. It seems that sexual assault and the deaths of babies are the price we must pay to keep America free. Because nothing is more liberating than widespread trauma.)

I'm just not going to fly. Which is easy, since I can't afford to go anywhere at the moment.

At least it's TSA is better than trying to explain a bad case of sniffles to a Chinese security official who knows very little English during the H1N1 care. On the other hand, at least during the H1N1 scare, nobody dared to touch me.

Yeah, not flying is pretty much my default at the moment.

On the other hand, at least during the H1N1 scare, nobody dared to touch me.

There's a bright side to everything!
