Shit that Pisses Me Off

I recently flew from Denver to Lynchburg and was chosen by TSA to experience the naked person scanner.  Out of curiosity I went ahead and went into the machine. They had me take everything out of my pockets and hold it in my hands over my head.  Then they yelled at me because my feet weren't in the little feet pictures on the floor.. The machine swirled around me and they told me to step out and stand on some more stupid looking feet things on the floor.  They then stared out into space, not a word to me about what was going on, and then asked if I had something in my pocket.  I checked and did not.  He said there was a piece of paper in there...why would a piece of paper be a concern anyway...I thought they were looking for guns and explosives!  So then he felt me up in my groin and on my leg.  After he was satisfied there was nothing in my pocket, duh, he let me go.  What a waste of the taxpayers money. I heard that the guy who sells this salt...

It is interesting that there is no place to smoke in airports. It would seem that there are several negative impacts that follow from this. First, it must reduce productivity for the workers or promote illegal activity. Once they start smoking in forbidden areas, their behavior could move towards smuggling stuff on planes for terrorists, just like smoking a little pot leads to heroin. Secondly, all those traveling smokers (40%?) are pissed off and irritable, not to mention the law abiding employees. This creates a potent stew of building anger that could be the reason for the weird blowups that occasionally happen in the check point areas. In the Las Vegas airport, they have these little glass rooms with slot machines in them that used to be the smoking areas. Now they just make the slot machines a little less obnoxious. It seems like you could have a place in airports located near the security checkpoint where people could smoke. It would provide relief to a large number of employees ...
