Please allow me to quote my favorite source, me.
FLYING: Everybody's favorite. On my first flight to Europe, everyone dressed for success. Now everyone dresses for Gold's Gym. And I'm sure the next step in TOTAL SECURITY will be to require everyone who is not of Arab descent to arrive with a note from their doctor attesting that they had a high colonic an hour before the airport to make the body cavity searches a bit more pleasant for the staff. Then there's the added coach thrill of a blood clot developing in the legs that stops your heart at 50,000 feet. Plus... no peanuts! After all, think of the allergic children! Add to that the new innovation, no pillows! I don't see why the airlines don't simply install hooks and, working in concert with government's laughable security cops, require everyone to hang from said hooks naked. It will come to that. You know it will.

Your Say
Full body cavity searches, mass changing rooms where we put on the one-size-fits-all paper suits, then are handcuffed to the seats for the duration of the flight ($20.00 extra for a catheter), and our clothes wind up in some third-world country being distributed to the dictator and his cronies.
But I'm probably being overly-optimistic.

Nailed to the wing is more like it. There you won't need the catheter.

Next time, she should wear something that will tell them what she really thinks:

Has anybody noticed how KGB and Nazi-like the TSA, Motherland Security, and Barack Obama, are? Is it not politically correct to call KGB and Nazi-scum by their name?

I'll tell you something else. A whole lot of TSA employees are former police and military. Now, that's an inconvenient truth. We really do live in a police state. Some of the worst criminals hide behind a badge.

You nailed it; this is a nightmare. Make the innocent suffer; that is the government standard.
