TSA good for hospitality industry
Homeland Security and the TSA have been very good for the hospitality industry. They have forced people back into their cars due to the "security" checks at airports.

I am a manager of a motel and we are up 100% over last year in occupancy. I credit Der Fatherland ... er ... Homeland Security and TSA for this increase.

People do not want to go through the Imelda Marcos Memorial Shoe Inspection Station, have their wives and daughters felt up, and undergo the virtual anal exam.

Watch for the airports to further empty out once they install the backscatter x-ray machines. If you like strange people viewing you naked, you will love these.

Note that you can see the details of this woman's labia. If she were not wearing underwear, the details would be more obvious.

Note also that the pubic area of this man's picture has been fuzzed out to obscure the details. Note also that he is wearing briefs. imagine what would be seen if he were wearing boxers.
