“I’m gonna tell my daddy on you. Then you’re in real trouble!”

I always like to remind white people that for POC and minorities, every time they go outside, they're stepping into the TSA security line. https://gitnux.org/stop-and-frisk-statistics/

It should be considered unconstitutional. It should be considered a violation of the 4th amendment. It should be illegal.

Well, I guess on the bright side we might finally see the utter waste of resources that the TSA is eliminated. Guess this is one of those "a broken clock is right twice a day" situations. Not many wins to be had under this administration, but if this happened it would be one of the only positive things.

How the fuck is this news?

Dan Savage calls this the Empathy Gap. Other people's problems become your problems only after they affect you.

Evita Duffy-Alfonso said on the social platform X that she nearly missed her flight after opting out of a body scan because she said she is pregnant and concerned about radiation exposure. She said she waited 15 minutes for a pat-down

If taking an extra 15 minutes to go through security is causing you to almost miss your flight, then you're already not arriving at the airport early enough. Shit happens. Gate changes occur. Overbooked flights are a thing. Long lines at bag check or security happen without any apparent notice or reason. Even something like unexpected traffic getting to the air port is common.

and that TSA agents were “rude” and “tried to pressure” her into walking through the scanner.

Welcome to the world the rest of us live in where the average citizen has to be the calm and collected one in the confrontation when dealing with law enforcement lest you earn their ire (or be shot because they're nervous or angry).

I'm still surprised those porno scanners are even legal.

If you’re worried about radiation exposure from a stupid lower energy millimeter wave body scanner, you should throwaway the phone you just used to shit post to X, and you sure as fuck shouldn’t be flying on a plane that blasts you with higher energy cosmic radiation.
