"One of the consequences of 9/11 has been the across-the-board federalization of airport security. Security checkpoints have practically become owned subsidiaries of the federal government. The people working in them have a lot of leeway to do as they please. Vastly more than they should have, under any circumstances."
"Lately I’ve been checking out allegations of women and girls being 'searched' rather zealously, shall we say, at security checkpoints in airports. Incidents of overly intimate touching and fondling have been reported at Phoenix, Atlanta, Raleigh-Durham, Portland, and elsewhere. Perhaps three dozen such cases have been reported. I don’t know that they happen everywhere. There is no way to know what hasn’t been reported, of course. A few of these cases involve children. In the Atlanta case, a 9-year old girl was frisked. In yet another, from Orlando, a 3-year old girl was patted down. There are related cases of absurd levels of paranoia among security personnel. At Kennedy Airport in New York City, a woman was forced by a security guard to drink from three bottles of her own breast milk to 'prove' that the white liquid posed no threat to anyone. The dominant news media have been mostly silent about these cases except for a tiny handful of local news stories. I’m surprised feminists haven’t had more to say about them. I guess they are still busy griping about all those dead white males in the textbooks." |
