Good article James...Even though the subject of checking Grannie's bra is so repugnant to me, I did have to laugh about the bottom paragraph he writes....Made me think of the movie Harry and Sally, and that "she wants what ever SHE's having...." <ggg>

It would be probably pretty funny if the entire American women population when they are wanded, or worse, if they yelled that right out....

Wonder how many of us would end up in the slammer...?

"A woman who was upset over being searched bodily at an airport was convicted Tuesday of assaulting a security screener by grabbing the federal officer's breasts."

Grandma needs to grow up. She should have gotten over having tantrums before her age hit double digits.

I have no problem with TSA air screeners. It really cuts down on lot's of social problems not limited to terrorism. I think it has eliminated quite a large part of drug trafficing. No stats to back up my suspicion.

I'll bet that grandma was a bigot and didn't like the woman who was screening her. People are going to have to get used to the procedure. I sure do n't want to get on a plane with a suicide bomber.
