Holy feel-up, Batman!

Wanna refuse the violation of having every nook and cranny of your body (and your children's bodies) photographically recorded by God-knows-who at the airport?
 
This is what you and your family can look forward to: "The head of the US Airways pilots union ... said Wednesday that he had learned ... that security officers now 'are to run their hand up the niside of your leg until they meet bone resistance. In addition, they use a circular pat-down routine from the small of the stomach, around through a person's crotch, and up into the small of the back.'" (AP)
 
If you videotaped that, we'd put, at the very least, an "R" rating on it. If someone did that to my kid, their extremeties wouldn't be attached for very long afterward. But since the government's doing it, we call it "security." Need I remind you of the pedophiles and other perverts who have been involved in our government for ... well, ever? You want those people getting pictures of your body or, alternatively, groping your breasts and genitals and rubbing your stomach, back and inner thighs? Doing the same thing to your spouse and your children?
 
Exactly.
