PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island (PNN) - April 27, 2012 - My mother-in-law was traveling home to Rhode Island from Washington Reagan airport this past Tuesday night when, passing through the TSA naked-porno machine, she triggered an alarm.
My mother-in-law, though youthful in outlook and an all-around very attractive person, is 79-years-old, 4'11" if she's lucky, and weighs about 110 pounds.
She entered the machine and struck the humiliating pose one is forced to strike - hands up, as in an armed robbery - and then walked out, when she was asked by a terrorist TSA agent, in a voice loud enough for several people to hear, "Are you wearing a sanitary napkin?"
She answered, "No. Why do you ask?"
The fascist thug agent responded, again in a loud voice, "Well, are you wearing anything else down there? There's an anomaly in the crotch area."
My mother-in-law said, "As far as I know I don't have any anomalies in the crotch area."
The terrorist pig thug agent told her she would again have to go through the scanner. She demurred, saying she didn't like the machine very much. The terrorist thug pervert told her she could opt for a pat down. She law refused to be frisked, figuring correctly, that the Amerikan Gestapo pervert was going to pat down her crotch area.
So she again went through the scanner, subjecting herself to more radiation rather than allowing the fascist pervert to feel up her body. Of course, this time - one minute later - the TSA thug found no "anomalies", and she was free to go.
I asked her if she felt embarrassed by the manner in which the TSA treated her.
"I'm not embarrassed," she said. "I just think they're stupid and their machinery is defective and they should learn to whisper when they're talking about my crotch, or anyone's crotch."
How did it come to pass that the terrorist Amerikan Gestapo takes official and invasive interest in the "crotch areas" of 79-year-old grandmothers? Have we just gone crazy?
