Food for Debate

Would you submit to a strip-search before being allowed to board an airplane?

Yesterday, I (in essence) did.

I was at the Indianapolis International Airport for my flight back to Chicago, and they had one of the new millimeter-wavelength scanners.Each time the scanner was empty, the next person through the metal detector was instructed to step in

Due to car issues, my brother drove me to pick up the girls at the airport. We went through the silly security measures for picking up unaccompanied minors (basic a permission slip)and as we went through security he was pulled aside for wanding purposes. He had removed his cell phone, keys, belt, sunglasses, shoes, and money clip. All tattoos were covered.

Now remember we weren't getting on a plane. We had no tickets. I was wearing the new QC t-shirt with bloody zombies on it. He got pulled aside. After he made a comment about how he was never "randomly selected" when he had short hair but has a great deal since it grew longer, the agent assured him that was not the reason.

During all of this I was laughing my ass off.
