Listen to this: "My freely chosen bedmates and doctors are the only ones allowed to see my naked body or touch my genitalia." For a sane person in a sane country that's the ultimate in "no shit, Sherlock" statement. But not where I live.

Not the United States of America. Not since 11 September 2001, when the government reacted to an attack on its citizens by lashing out against the very citizenry it claims to protect.

What can YOU do? The airlines are going to lose a lot of money if people quit flying. Contact them and let them know that you're not going to be getting X-rayed or groped, so you won't be flying with them until this stuff ends. Each airline has a customer service "contact us" form somewhere on their website.

The airlines are the reason the airports and the airplane manufacturers and the travel industry and the FAA and the TSA exist. You can be sure that if enough of us tell the airline executives that they're not getting our money, they're going to be all over the federal government about it.
