"TSA Song" written and performed by yours truly. It aint finished until I inflict it on my friends.

Guess I won't be flying anytime soon. Oh here's the lyrics if anyone wants to sing it at the airport! :)

TSA Song (to the tune of "Union Maid")

There once was a passenger
got stopped by the terminal gate
by the goons and ginks and the TSA finks
and the deputy sheriffs sent by the state
to implement their plan
they'd inspect her with a scan
to x-ray her with their leering eyes
or touch her crotch and pinch her thighs.

Oh you can't scan me
I'd rather have a pat-down
I'd rather have a pat-down
Face a pervert's frisking
No you can't scan me
no scanner risking
no scanner risking
my DNA.

Before she could board her flight
They made her wait and fret
Take off her shoes, take off her belt
because she was a threat
She might be a terrorist
with a bomb hid in her dress
Security thinks she might try
to blow the plane out of the sky.

Oh you can't scan me
I'd rather have a pat-down
I'd rather have a pat-down
Face a pervert's frisking
No you can't scan me
no scanner risking
no scanner risking
my DNA.

1. GMTA!

I did a song that has some of the same lyrics. I actually wrote it a couple
of years ago, intended it as something completely over the top. Reality seems
to have overtaken us, unfortunately! I never got around to recording it until
this September, and the video was just completed last week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3LNxvG1qQM

Loved your animations! And nice song!

3. I'll make sure I don't have any close connections

I was appalled to hear from some people that I sounded like Johnny Cash, and I had a LOT of help with the
animation. That was done with a LOT of transatlantic consultation, whereas I did the music recording in one
session in Atlanta when I was back in the States in September. It took about 3 hours from start to finish,
which I thought not bad, seeing as how the drummer, the bassist and the harmonica player had never heard my
song before then--I taught it to them on the spot, although it is definitely NOT a study in complexity! LOL.

4. Kicking to counteract the teabagger comments being posted at Youtuber!

5. A Molecular Biologist's Review of the TSA X-ray backscatter body scanner safety report: hide . . .

"Our overriding concern is the extent to which the safety of this scanning device has been adequately demonstrated. This can only be determined by a meeting of an impartial panel of experts that would include medical physicists and radiation biologists at which all of the available relevant data is reviewed."

OH SURPRISE. New untested technology. How long before we see skin, breast and testicular cancer rates skyrocket?
