WTF Wednesday -The TSA doesn’t approve of your sexual shenanigans

Detained by the TSA for carrying condomsThis story is absolutely outrageous. Who a woman has sex with has absolutely no bearing on whether or not she is safe to be allowed on an airplane. This is just another instance of male TSA agents sexually harassing female travelers

I would be lawyering up for sure... not for money, but for these specific individuals jobs. All they had to say to her is that we needed to check if you were a sex worker...not are you looking to be assulted. Home many freakin rapists ask a victim if they are carrying protection. Oi.

Gee, what would happen if I travelled with a sex toy?

And if a man has condoms will be pull him in for possibly being a rapist?

Maybe all American women should put a pack of condoms in their carry for support.

I read this article some time ago and my BP soared to new heights.
Security Theatre at its most degrading.

I think the part that pissed me off the most is how the guards somehow twisted the fact that she practiced SAFE Sex into meaning that this woman was somehow dangerous.

I can't believe any of those men actually believed what they were saying; I think they were just fucking with a vulnerable woman. :\

Oh, I think we had some self-righteous conservative Christian menfolk riding herd on an uppity woman there.

Shades of The Handmaid's Tale.

It sounds more like INS or customs than TSA on this.
Not that I think in any way it is right. But, if you're going to complain to your elected representative you should complain about the correct branch of harassers.

It might have been customs and not the TSA. But still, WTF difference does it make if she's carrying condoms? How is that a crime?
