Female Passengers Say They Were Targeted For TSA Body Scanners 572
wiedzmin writes "TSA agents in Dallas singled out female passengers to undergo screening in a body scanner, according to complaints filed by several women who said they felt the screeners intentionally targeted them to view their bodies. Allegedly, women with 'cute bodies' were directed through the body scanners up to three times over by female agents, who appeared to be acting on a request from male agents viewing the scans in a separate room. Apparently this was done because the scans were 'blurry,' possibly due to autofocus problems with agents' smartphone cameras."
After hearing the claims, Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) announced plans to introduce legislation that would require the presence of "passenger advocates" at airports to deal with complaints like these.

Plus you have to figure it's more likely that a slim, hot chick is a drug mule than a fat chick, because if the fat chick was a cokehead she wouldn't be fat.
Damn, I have been underestimating the TSA guys all along, they got it all figured out!

Which could be a more serious and useful statement than just a crude one-off remark. We are talking about TSA agents abusing their image-taking capabilities. I've been told that the machines have been modified to not store images, but is that verified? On the other hand, annecdotes and allegations are, well, just that, at least until more solid information is available.

Always remember to give the officer doing the pat-down your best sex-offender-smirk and remark that you "always stand at attention for a man in uniform"... The situation is not actually winnable in any useful way; but if the rentacop goes home feeling as though their soul is soiled, you've done your part.
Anyone remember the Movie "When Harry Met Sally" ??? Specifically, the cafeteria scene where Meg Ryan fakes an orgasm ?? Several of us did that to the TSA Goons on our most recent flight. One guy even offered a tip for getting felt up "so well". . . . Needless to say, the TSA goons were more than a little discomfitted, and the people in line behind each of us were basically LMFAO. . . . Laughter IS the best weapon against officious busybodies. . .

We smuggled two wineskins into a concert once by taping them to a fat chicks legs. Everyone was losing their dope and booze to searches. We got in with two full wineskins! (Can't remember what they were full of)
