Marchand's solution? "Try to turn it into a game." I can see it now, "Want some candy little girl?" Before you dismiss this as sensationalism, I'm not the first person to think of this. It is well-known that one reason pedophiles are so dangerous is they are relentless at gaming the system and looking for any weaknesses they can exploit. That's why school systems have such strict guidelines for employment, and even for contractors. Why wouldn't a pedophile gravitate towards this job? On what planet would that wallpaper be considered anywhere close to appropriate? I think it has gotten well past the point where it is safe to say that letting TSA grope you in the name of freedom means things have gotten way out of hand.
Oh... and for those who think the images aren't being saved. Here are 100 images out of 35,000 that were saved by the US Marshal's office at the Florida Federal Courthouse in Orlando. Check out the caboose on scan #24200... yeah....#24173 sure seems a bit saggy for my tastes, but #24219 was definitely doable. Those images are a bit blurry. But they were first generation. Here is the newer stuff. As you can see, this doesn't leave much to the imagination. It's obvious the guy "dresses left."
I could go on, but I'm sure we've found the limits of your comfort zone a long time ago, so I'll stop. Maybe that's something we all should do. Stop. Stop feeding this nonsense. Stop tolerating the invasions of privacy in the interest of theatrics. We know this sort of thing is killing tourism into the US. It isn't helping keep us any safer. It just degrades us.
If we can't protect our children from being molested by strangers, what the hell are we protecting? The last time people decided to boycott transportation, outrageous things that had been tolerated for generations suddenly started to change. Given their precarious state, I don't think the airlines could hold out half as long as the Birmingham bus company.
ACTION UPDATE:
Senate Committee on Science, Transportation and Commerce is holding an oversight hearing on TSA tomorrow. Sounds like it's time to let folks know how we REALLY feel. Here is a list of committee members.
