Grandma's Body Cavity Search

Updated below:


From the Des Moines Register on the latest airline restrictions:

Roy Criss, an airport spokesman, said no liquids or gels will be allowed in carry-on bags, hands or pockets. Baby formula will be allowed, but shampoo, toothpaste and other such items must be carried in checked baggage.

"Medications are OK, but the name on the bottle must match the identification" of the passenger, Criss said.

All travelers will be required to remove their shoes.

How about pulling all the Islamofascist-looking and burqa-wearing types aside and performing a full body cavity search on them instead of bothering Grandma flying to Las Vegas or a bunch of high school kids on a trip?

Also, wouldn't it be something if US-government initiated electronic survelliance or warrantless wiretapping, particularly the kind bitched about by certain progressives, played a part in helping to track or crack the suspected airline bombers in London and any comrades stationed in the United States?


Update: Life could be worse. You could be this chick, a lefty Vermont hippie attempting to fly from Portland, OR to Manchester, NH a couple weeks ago. The only people who end up being nice to her are the three.... well, just read it.


Further Update: Thanks to the reader who sent this link along. Lots of good points in this opinion piece. Ted Kennedy, gee whiz, when's he going to just die?
