Like that could be a bomb. it could be a bomb..absolutely. But was humiliating this woman worth the added security? and more importantly, It would be easy to smuggle combustible gel in the form of a prosthetic breast...and the search and scanner would never detect it. That TSA agent could have fondled a fake boob filled with napalm for 20 minutes and not know a thing. A dog would detect it though. A behavioral profile interview would likely detect something. so, to answer my own question, it wasn't worth humiliating that woman because there was zero added security. In fact, I'm sure that the terrorists are now coming up with a combustible gel filled breast prosthetic for the next attack. Now what are we going to do?

marching morons...aka....idiocracy yes they do line up... i watched that moron on fox the other day, 'gretchen carlson' , former miss 'america' aka 'doris day' (if you ever see her you will get it) sit there and say, in a most didactic tone "i WILL be scanned because i don't want to die...i have 2 children and I want to live to raise them" (and everyone else should be forced to do the same) to which i say.... DONT FLY, doris.... stay at home with your kids....and you'll be just fine quit insisting on others giving up their constitutional rights so that you don't have to worry your bleached blonde roots these people would rather that the rest of us submit to tyranny to assuage their IRRATIONAL fears...
