Let me get this straight before I hop on my plane tomorrow.

Is this the procedure in every airport now? Or is it just international/big airports? I think I might take some radiation real quick instead of the uhh grabbing.

Most airports do not yet have the scanners... if they have them, you can see them from a mile away since they're huge machines... also, even where they have them, they typically don't have enough of them for every line to funnel into one... you should be able to pick a line with no scanner... if you pick a line with a scanner, you have to empty everything from your pockets (as opposed to just metal objects) and remove your belt, walk into the machine and raise your hands over your head like someone has a gun to your back, and stand there waiting for some perv to pass judgment on the size of your Johnson... if you refuse to enter the scanner you will be subject to an "enhanced" pat-down which will include someone touching your John Thomas through your pants. Either way, someone will pass judgment on the size of your Peter.

There  are alot of names of men in the last sentence...

Anyway, well that a relief, I will be flying out of the Newport, KY airport so I HIGHLY doubt there are any there. But coming home I'm going through Newark, NJ so that will probably have one. I'll just try and get in the non-scanner line.

This shit also makes me annoyed cause I have a quick little system when I travel and go through security. And now I have to deal with this bullshit and figure out a new system.

This just might be the worst TSA-related sentence I've read yet:

A retired special education teacher on his way to a wedding in Orlando, Fla., said he was left humiliated, crying and covered with his own urine after an enhanced pat-down by TSA officers recently at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.

Notice: that detail is not included in the lead of the story. Yeah, it's a little extra sensationalist, and I betcha the writer knew exactly what she was doing.

Like honestly these stories are just gonna keep popping up left and right and they can't have all the media on the TSA just be extremely negative. I feel like give it a year or so and they will change procedures or something. Its causing too many problems and complaints.

Yeah, but the airport is in Newport.... But shit, damnit that sucks.

I hope I don't get that line for sure.

What a letdown. The checkpoint we just went through didn't even have the new scanners for me to opt out of. Should've gone through the checkpoint that I know has em. So much for all the hubbub; it took all of 3 mins to go through security.

[WhatstheUse?]

I'm on the airplane right now.  I fucking hate airplanes.

but security was a breeze in Boston.  Saw the scanners but they weren't even using them.

I was slightly disappointed because I was hoping SOMEONE would get to see my x-ray wiener :cry:
