4 Reasons to Avoid TSA...part 1
Yes, I will say it that bluntly. It is wrong to take naked pictures of people as a requirement for them to travel across a free country. And, it is wrong to grope their genitals as a requirement of travel.
Now, honestly, I don’t care if they want to look at my lumpy physique all day. In one sense, you would have to consider that a painful sacrifice on the TSA agent’s part.
But, I have a wife and three daughters. I teach my children that only their parents or their doctor should see or touch certain places on their bodies. And, I do not think I should add, “Oh, and strangers in the airport.”
The TSA has already backed down on groping children under 12. (This video is an example of why this change was made.) But, does that mean that at 13 it is OK for a man alone behind a screen to see naked pictures of my daughter. And, let’s not forget how graphic these pictures are. (You can see that many places on the web so I won’t link that here– they are too graphic.)
But, you say, “it is a stranger and you do not see that person.” Well, I do not want strangers to see my wife naked. Simply put, that is unacceptable.
The government promises they won’t keep the pictures, and (last I saw) they have a little paper sign on the door to the room where they see them. The sign says you can’t bring in your cell phone camera. Great idea– but I wonder how long it will be until some famous movie star ends up on the Internet.
