A bit off topic, but airport related.

quote:

FFS, folks.. she's SEVENTY THREE YEARS OLD!!!!!!!!!!! 105 lbs, soaking wet! Often using a cane (for long walks - if you've ever had to get around hartsfield airport in Atlanta you know how far apart those gate changes can be).

ETA: the last time she and I flew together, I was dressed in my leather jacket, studded belt, hair in umpteen colors, piercings.

Now, who looks more like trouble? The woman wearing a pair of jeans, walking with a cane, grey haired with a doctors letter explaining the hip surgery?

Or the chick with attitude?

Guess who got waved through?

For those of you who have elderly parents, or others who have difficulties like this, you can put in your reservations that a wheelchair is needed, and the airlines will help. Sure it is customary to tip whoever is wheeling you around, but big deal. The reason I am saying this, several years ago my aunt and uncle were going through Atlanta. My aunt got a wheelchair, and my uncle was left scurrying behind with the luggage. Had a heart attack and died there in the airport.

OK, a bit of levity with the sob story. Why did TSA take away the knitting needles of the old lady? They wer afraid she was knitting an Afgan.

These are old news. Odd it took this long to get any installed for use in major areas.

What bothers people is that the images show density of a person. So yes, it will show just how large a woman's breasts are, if she has implants, or a man's cock, etc.

I'm sorry, but I think everyone should be required to go through one. Privacy has no place when it comes to safety at the airport, and railways. And if you do everyone then no one can legitimately cry "foul" when they get scanned. You want privacy, stay home.
