John Boehner is now exempt from scanning and probing.
Kids younger than 12 are now exempt.
Pilots are now exempt.

Cancer survivors are not so lucky. Articial bladders are being probed spilled and scrutinized at gun point as if an underwear bomber was finally found. A man with sperm duct aneurisms was squeezed to the point of getting an internal rupture even after the passenger warned security. "They seemed to become more aggresive after I warned them of my condition" said the hapless passenger.

None of this is well thought out in our attempt to catch the next underwear bomber.
Two and a half Billion dollars was paid for the scanners. The pat down policy is to encourage universal use of the new X ray machines.

In an Orwellian attempt to call the X ray machines anything but X ray seems to have been a success. No one here other myself have called these machines by the radiation they emit.

Brits can say "mustnt grumble" but red blooded Americans are bred with the ideal of liberation and have proudly grumbled for 300 years.
