TSA to begin more intimate contact when physically screening

Things are about to get friskier at America’s airports.

The TSA will have “more intimate contact” when feeling up fliers who elect for the pat-down method before taking off.

Previously, blue-shirted agents had five different ways to frisk someone who opted for the pat-down instead of going through a scanning machine, according to reports.

The new method will be a more “universal” approach to screening, according to media reports.

Agents will begin phasing in the new method over the next few weeks, reports indicate, starting with smaller airports.

Employees at Denver International Airport were told on Thursday the “more rigorous” scans “will be more thorough and may involve an officer making more intimate contact than before,” Bloomberg reported.

“I would say people who in the past would have gotten a pat-down that wasn’t involved will notice that the (new) pat-down is more involved,” TSA spokesman Bruce Anderson told Bloomberg on Friday.

around by air. That keeps them at home for easy mind controlling, no foreign press mucking up those expensive paid for programming features.

with sexual assault. Grandma is dying, not until we get to grab your crotch and make certain you are not hiding a bomb in your vagina or a little packet of nerve gas in all your "personal crevices".

I need a vacation that does not being by being felt up by a stranger of any sex. But then again....we do all want to be safe

I guess it is a better way to put it than it will probably end up being once people start talking about this more. We may long for the day that that would be an uncomfortable word picture.
