She's 95, dammit she's a terroristic threat

We need to see that lump in your diaper, hag!
What? You're dying? Well as our former attorney general once said, old people die sooner or later. Take the damn thing off or no flight. Got it?

Well, if ever there is a right age to become a suicide bomber...

 

Mizzou: That was Jocelyn Elders' thinking too....

Now if she'd had AIDS, she'd had a whole army of lawyers ON THE SCENE and this would have been a non-incident before it even happened. So sayeth Ms. Elders too. They were more valuable than elderly dregs.

Meanwhile, I bet an Islamic male made it through security untouched.
Damn Geezer.

Starts about half way down.

 

Hey, if a TSA agent wants to stick his hand in some 95-year-old's diaper for $10.75 an hour, more power to him.

 

TSA agents make a lot more than $10.75 an hour. I was stunned at how much they make.

 

That's how much they should make, dammit.

 

I will never, ever understand why we don't profile.

Does that mean you let everyone else run through security? Of course not, but when someone has bought a one-way ticket maybe you look at them a little more closely.

 

I agree. But where I live, it's more than twice that.

 

In my experience, they do profile to some extent. When I flew back from a gig in France in 2008, I missed my flight out of Paris and had to be rebooked. When I landed in Philadelphia they had to do a thorough search because I showed as a last minute booking and thus a possible threat. Missed my connecting flight to Toronto because of it.

 

Because we have too many attorneys whose balls can be bought by the type people who brought about this need in the first place. We're so afraid of any kind of discrimination, we've compromised our safety and chunked common sense.
