Soooo, I’m in line at the security check point with all my stuff in bins and I ask the TSA guy standing there if I have to remove my “Digital camera, an SLR” out of my check on bag. It’s a Canon 5DmkII with vertical grip and a 24-105 lens, bigger than most camcorders, so I wanted to check. He said no.
Here’s where it gets weird. About 20 seconds later another TSA agent, a dumpy woman in her 50s comes over and asks, with about 5 people in ear shot, “Do you have a personal stimulator in the bag”. I give her my best blend of WTF and ‘did I hear you right’ face. She asks the question again. I stick with the WTF face and tell her “Uhhh, no?”
CREEEPPPY!
I’m afraid if I said yes she would have had to search my bag in a back room.
Yeah, but they bitch and moan about being UN-fairly castigated as perverts, molesters, etc. :rolleyes:
If the TSA actually knew it’s derriere from a depression in the earth, they’d sidle up to you casually and say, “Dhurka, dhurka,” to see if you’d give the PROPER response - “Dhurka - dhurka, JIHAD” - and thus give yourself away - like MacDonald does getting on the bus in “The Great Escape.”
I was starting to worry that they had planted something, or didn’t like my Xtranormal movie I had made.
I guess the bigger question is, if I had, what would she had made me do???
Funny thing… before 9/11 I was going to take a 12 inch ‘item’ and glue a tin foil cut out of a knife to the inside of its box and put it in a work buddies carry on bag. Have them pull that bad boy out of its sheath. He had already been ‘outed’ by a screener looking thru his bag and coming across a porn DVD case with the fun cover shots. Post 9/11, not so funny.
About a year ago on a slow day once I did ask a TSA guy what was the most embarrassing thing he had seen in his screening. Being a bit more forward than I thought he’d be, he said a double dildo- in a guys bag.
