      The latest I’ve personally witnessed was one sadistically mishandling an obviously expensive violin to torture the poor girl that was trying to get through X-ray to embark.

      That was in Houston, and other people I know that live the say that going through TSA there is always between bad and terrible. I’ve been to Memphis and they were fine.

        That honestly sounds more like a texas thing than a TSA thing as sadism is their official state pasttime.

      I asked whether the cancer box was compulsory or whether I could get a pat-down instead. What followed was a difference of labeling opinion where one debater had ultimate power over the other. I had to get reeeeally Canadian to still make my flight.

      Got my pat-down.

        If you’re worried about radiation, don’t get on an airplane at all. You’ll get a lot more being that high in the atmosphere than you will walking through a security scanner.
