So much rage

umi_mikazukiI am not even fucking kidding.
If for some emergency I have to fly, I happen to be on my period, and they tell me to remove my tampon during the gropefest, I will tell them that shit. One woman's already been made to remove her pad.
I refuse to go through the porno/radiation scanners, and I refuse to go to a private room for the gropefest. I want witnesses to lessen the chance of them groping me more than they're already ordered to do, and to help back me up if they do.
This is something I said in another post about the TSA's fuckery:
...that's how it's supposed to be in the States, re: same sex person patting you down. Not only does that cause a lot of problems for people that are gay/bi/intersex/trans/whatever else doesn't fit the binary, it doesn't completely remove the risk of a TSA employee feeling you up for personal enjoyment. For all I know, the female employee patting me (I identify as a straight cis female) down might grope me even more unnecessarily than she's already ordered to.
I forgot to mention sexual assault victims, the disabled/handicapped, and those whose faiths don't allow anyone, even a doctor, to touch certain parts of the body.
This shit needs to stop. It shouldn't have ever started in the first place.

Date: 2010-11-28 06:02 am (UTC)I'm all for an increased security posture, but let's focus our time and effort on things that actually WORK. (And, while we're at it, we might want to have some security agents doing it that are a little better trained and qualified than your average McDonald's employee... -_- )
