I'm not really a civil libertarian. I am, however, violently opposed to stupidity and hassles. So, from that perspective, I'd like to join Brant in GrogNews' unofficial campaign against the latest act in TSA's on-going production of "security theater."
Check out the Calgary Herald's gallery of the TSA in action. They are on the last line of defense against terrorism, bravely protecting us from old men who look like they probably fought in WW2 or the (first?) Korean War, grandmothers in wheelchairs, fat businessmen, and the occasional MILF.
Most of the pictures are just ridiculous, but I wouldn't mind giving an "enhanced pat-down" to a couple of the ladies :).
P.S.: The fact that this is from the Calgary Herald just adds to our national embarrassment. The TSA is just giving our more civilized and sane neighbors to the North another reason to snicker at us.
