TSA keeps getting it wrong

I've been kinda following the TSA saga. I say kinda, cos I ain't following too closely. Just keeping a wary eye on everything.

Today, I came across two pieces of rage. I can't decide which one is worse.

Young Boy is strip Searched by TSA

Can I get a "oh hell no!"? I understand that there are douchebags who hide stuff on their child. But they are a minority, not unlike TSA employee's with common sense. If you're gonna strip search a kid (and you better have a DAMN good reason to do so), then at least take him to a room. How often does this occur?  What made him stick out among all the other little boys? Was the boy of Arab descent or something? I'm trying to come up with a justification for their actions so that this can be a well-balanced rant. I can't. I just...sigh. I haven't taken aim at the paedo-vibe yet.

Fuckin hell.

TSA pat down leaves traveller covered in urine (HT to BK Drinkwater)

Quick summary: Thomas Sawyer is a bladder cancer survivor and is required to wear a colostomy bag. TSA pulled him out for a pat down that was too rough. Colostomy bag burst and he had to board his flight humiliated, crying and covered in urine. TSA offers no apology.

At no point should anyone have to board a flight in that sort of state. I'm not even gonna take a hit at this one. It speaks for itself.

Man, TSA employs some winners. Where do they hire these people? This is what happens when you take the creme de la creme of reality show douchebags and give them a gun and some power. Shit gets outta control.

Obama has already defended the TSA security procedures:

"I understand people’s frustrations, and what I’ve said to the TSA is that you have to constantly refine and measure whether what we’re doing is the only way to assure the American people’s safety. And you also have to think through are there other ways of doing it that are less intrusive,"

"But at this point, TSA in consultation with counterterrorism experts have indicated to me that the procedures that they have been putting in place are the only ones right now that they consider to be effective against the kind of threat that we saw in the Christmas Day bombing."

Why are people making excuses for these morons? Why are they being defended? If a private security firm did something like this, they'd be fired. Their name would be mud. Obviously, the protective force of government employment is even stronger than I thought. Or the tolerance for incompetence is higher, I don't know.

Don't get me wrong, I understand the need for airport security. If terrorists are still targeting airlines, then yeah, there needs to be security. There also needs to be common sense. Surely it's not too much to ask, even for airport security?

However, I live in a relatively safe country - what the hell do I know? All I can say is that I've flown in and around the US and never once gotten a pat down. In fact, I've flown across the world and never gotten more than a "Have a good trip" from airport security. Trust me, I look a lot more dangerous than those two people.

In fact right now, I probably am.

His movies were a massive and important part of my childhood. Sometimes, they were the only thing that ever made me laugh.

If you haven't seen it already, above is Kanye West's film Runaway. It features songs from his new album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. I'm posting this because I was subjected to multiple showings of it. I ended up enjoying it and now I want to share the love. Three over-riding thoughts about the film:

Shit, this film is weird.

Man, these songs are good. Especially Runaway (the one with the ballet dancers). It's a song written from the point of view of the douchebag in the relationship. The one who knows they aren't good enough for the person that they're with. The kind of song usually covered in rock or rap, except that this time it's beautiful. Imma buy this album.

That girl that plays the phoenix? Her name's Selita Ebanks. Damn! Girlfriend is insane gorgeous. Her body makes me lose my mind (and I'm straight) and her costume is sick. Respect.

No two ways about it, this woman sounds like a grade A bitch.

Even I wouldn't pull a stunt like this. How many people did she do to make that happen?
