TSA Security Theatre, Miss Grundy Dept. 2

Mark Frauenfelder reports:

Here’s what happened, as my daughter described it in text messages to us: she was at the station where the TSA checks IDs. She said the officer was “glaring” at her and mumbling. She said, “Excuse me?” and he said, “You’re only 15, COVER YOURSELF!” in a hostile tone. She said she was shaken up by his abusive manner.

Frauenfelder says that he is pursuing this incident with TSA management.

There’s a picture at the link. I can be as much a dirty old man as the next guy, but I can’t see anything improper about the young lady’s outfit.

I have quoted my Freshman roommate before and it’s still true:

Give some people a flat hat and they think they rule the world.

Also, too.

    A dirty old man will see filth wherever he looks. I saw the picture. She looks like every other 15 year old girl I’ve seen.  She is a very pretty girl.

    DId you follow the “also-too” link?  That was just as warped, though not as skeevy.

Finally, this is website is a hobby.
