Get real

Okay, people.  It’s time for everyone to take a deep, cleansing breath.

All this trauma about going through airport security and the full-body scanners and the TSA pat-downs is, in a word…

RIDICULOUS.

I travel all the time.  We’re talking, on average, six trips through security a week.  I’ve gone through pretty much every type of scanner and exam that airport security can throw at you.

And here’s the simple, hard truth:

1. The scanners are more ‘down’ than ‘up,’ so nine times out of ten, you don’t have to fool with them at all.
2. When the scanners are working, no one in the TSA gives two shakes about your junk.
   

Sorry. It’s the truth.  They have other things on their mind.

Have you seen the lines in airport security?  Believe me, the TSA is doing all they can just to deal with the volume in a timely manner.  Plus, it’s on them if some crazy gets through with an actual bomb.  I seriously doubt they are sitting behind the scanner, laughing at your big/small/fat/skinny ass.

For anyone to go to the trouble to buy special undergarments that conceal their ‘business’ from the TSA workers (like the stupid ones at left) — and potentially slow down the line for everyone behind them — is, in a word…

RIDICULOUS.

So, as you prepare to travel this holiday season, pack some perspective with your panties…and have a great trip!
