A girl dressed in a bikini practically dares the TSA to check her out for any T&A explosives. Ummm… problem here. SHE’S CUTE. If she really wants to see someone stage a protest, then I should sashay through security dressed in one of my favorite novelty thongs.

TSA Wants to Touch Your Junk, Its Employees Don’t
With all this talk about people protesting, blogging, rebelliously stripping or crying while saturated their own urine, you’d think the TSA was some sort of soulless Third Reich-inspired job-networking party for sex offenders. But it’s not. And in the middle of all this outrage, it appears the true victims are being ignored. Latex gloves: not […]

Today’s Catch Phrase: “Then I See His Penis Out!”
One of the not-so-awesome things about living in New York is riding the train and having some dude rub his penis on you. In this video captured on the 4 train, a woman totally busts and humiliates a guy for this heinous crime. On the upside, he was wearing a condom.

Man Enters Own Country With Dignity
This man (a U.S. citizen) managed to enter the United States without being x-rayed or having his balls touched by government employees. It only took him 2.5 hours. In order to enter the USA, I was never touched, I was never “Backscatted,” and I was never metal detected. In the end, it took 2.5 hours, […]

TSA Strip Searches Kid
As mentioned in GMN, the poop is hitting the fan regarding this video in which a gang of TSA security guards pats down a young boy with his shirt off. In their defense, they say the dad took the shirt off for them and didn’t have a problem with it—which really isn’t any defense at […]

What Some People Will Do to Get “Rock Star” Parking
Some might call this “the worst parking job of all time.” Others might call it, “the best parking job of all time if one wanted to get closest to the front door and later arrested for driving shit-faced.” You make the call.

Taiwanese Animators Take on the TSA!
Those crazy kooks over at Next Media Animation have done it again, and are taking on the latest TSA “junk touchin’” controversy. Remember the old days when the Taiwanese animators would try to squeeze in a modicum of actual reporting into their videos? Ah, well. “Actual reporting” is overrated anyway.

Backscatter Backlash
The uproar over the TSA’s new porno scanners (and the agency’s general fecklessness) is spreading. Seems that the TSA is facing increasing push-back from passengers, pilots, and others over the new “submit to a privacy-invading full body x-ray scan of questionable usefulness or have your crotch inspected manually” policy. Nearly a week before the Thanksgiving […]

NikeTM Brand MAX Line, Anyone?
Greg Bigoni This week in the news section, I looked into TriMet’s Plan B now that its $125 million levy failed. Maybe they should take a cue from Chicago’s public transit agency, which is planning to dig itself out of a budget hole by selling the naming rights to just about everything it owns, including […]

The TSA vs Your Junk, Sanity
The ridiculous security theater that our government puts on at airports has recently taken on a new, more ball-grabbing, yet no more effective tack. Seems people were opting out of the TSA’s fancy new back-scattter x-ray machines too often—concluding they’d rather not have the feds taking pictures of their genitals and bombarding them with radiation.

TriMet Feel Good Story of the Day
Tipster and Route 4 bus rider Todd Mecklem sends in this moderately heart-warming story from a Sunday afternoon on TriMet: About 2:30 this afternoon an eastbound 4 (Division) Tri-Met bus, already running about 15 minutes late, got trapped behind a stalled SUV on the Hawthorne Bridge. The bus driver called her supervisor to explain why […]
