TSA sensationalism and fear

[wo ooo]

I understand the outrage: privacy, concerns over radiation, etc.

but (Anti-gay group targets gay TSA workers) seems like its going to a new level: http://www.salon.com/news/transportation_security_administration/?story=/mwt/broadsheet/2010/11/17/gay_tsa

1. "Americans For Truth About Homosexuality "

Here's some truth, they need to get over it.....

[wo ooo]

2. Im gonna try and find more

outrageous sensationalist and fear inducing news stories to include in the thread

3. Are gay TSA cooties somehow worse than straight TSA cooties?

Where I come from, cooties are cooties!

[frazzled]

4. I'll say

Here on DU it sounds like a Tea Baggers / libertarian convention (oops, allusion to teabagging unintended).

5. People should start acting really flamboyantly gay

when going through security.....see how many homophobe TSA agents volunteer to pat you down then!

6. I've already heard a couple of stories about really rough, invasive pat-downs.

Not sure I'd be doing the Harry met Sally thing with a po'd TSA agent that close to the boys. They're really sensitive, and don't like being smacked around.
