I feel your er...uh...pain?

The busiest travel day of the year is coming up this week, and all is not right at the boarding gate. When John Tyner refused to be groped by the stormtroopers from TSA before boarding a flight in San Francisco to visit family, his warning to them was, "if you touch my junk I'll have you arrested". That opened the floodgates and more stories are becoming public every day. Like the three year old girl crying because the TSA guy was trying to do what her mother told her was evil and not to be tolerated, he was trying to touch her junk, sick bastid. Or the nun being groped, or the cancer victim having to remove her prosthetic breast, to prove she wasn't carrying a bomb. People are on edge these days with money worries mixed in with the regular stress of trying to celebrate a BIG holiday while not feeling all that festive. President Obama finally chimed in with his best Bill Clinton imitation, as he said we are all unhappy about having to put up with this intrusive crotch grabbing at the airport. I really doubt he and Michelle got the old slap and tickle treatment as they boarded Air Force One for their round the world 'please help America' tour twice in the past two weeks. Will he let grown men handle his daughters under the threat of penalties for refusal. Somehow I think Uncle Sam is feeling something at the airport but it ain't pain.
