The TSA: Protecting Us From Bald Women And Artificial Knees

"She then said, ‘And if we don’t clear you, you don’t fly’ loud enough for other passengers to hear.  And they did.  And they stared at the bald woman being yelled at by a TSA [Transportation Security Administration] Supervisor," writes the "bald woman," Lori Dorn.

Ms. Dorn is a consultant in "human resources" who underwent "a bilateral mastectomy in April and had tissue expanders put in to make way for reconstruction at a later date." She was flying out of New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport last week when the TSA pounced on her, as it has countless other survivors of cancer.

Though Ms. Dorn had submitted to the TSA’s pornographic and carcinogenic "imaging scanner," she "was asked to step aside to have my breast area examined." Perhaps this will disabuse the serfs once and for all of the fallacy that posing in these gizmos rescues them from the TSA’s punitive "patdowns"; you do "choose" to be either ogled or groped, whatever the TSA implies.
