What I learned from watching this clip:

Guys are really, really nervous about letting other guys touch their bodies. Positively paranoiac. Terrified that some deeply repressed gayness will come out.
That must be why this little privacy hissy-fit is happening at the same time as the fuss about DADT. I get it now.

Actually, I think a lot of guys are also terrified of TSA assholes getting off on nude pix of their 17 year old daughters.

Last week, one of my flying partners (Captain with Skywest) was going through security at DEN with his 18 year daughter. As his daughter approached the detector, the TSO working the NoS said on his headset, “heads up, got a cutie for you.” He then confronted the TSA clerk with what he said and that neither of us are going through the NoS. The TSA clerk said you must have misunderstood me.

He said pat-down was pretty evasive, and his daughter felt uncomfortable.

He is taking it up with Skywest, with this behavior. Normally, crews there go through a different screening area, but since he was with his daughter, he got to see the TSA clerks at their finest in Denver.

Its stoiries like this, is why I will not go through the NoS (radiation/health issues) and even refuse the the pat-down thus (if it happens while on duty) canceling the flight due to a hostile work environment.

You don’t have assume homophobia when you have idiots like this alerting each other that cute jailbait is on the way to leer at legally.

Check out some of the femal fliers or their male companions in the comments who have been singled out to have their boobs scanned or had their spouse/coworkers singled out for gratuitous boob scans.

Fuck that. I’ll take the train.
