Do you smoke after security?

One of the nice things about being able to blog my thoughts is that sometimes, thanks to getting up too early, and not having enough coffee, they go in their own direction.

My online calendar reminded me that I have a dentist appointment next week. And that whole experience is somewhat strange. 

Every time I go, It’s usually not very pleasant. Let’s face it, there’s a good chance my teeth are going to get either scraped, drilled, or worse, and I pay for it.. 

Then I read the thread over in “Readers Comments” about the fees Canadians pay. 

Wait a minute, I’m an American. I pay fees too. In fact, I pay for airport security with my taxes and fees. And that’s not a pleasant experience either. 

What happens. I show up at the airport. They tell me they want to see me naked (virtually). Then, if they feel like it, they will start “feeling” it, and I’m paying for all of it.

I always thought that when someone was paid to see you naked and to “touch your junk” it was called…..prostitution.

And not once have they ever offered me a cigarette afterwards.  

It’s President’s Day here in the U.S. where we honor two great men who fought for our freedoms. The same freedoms one government agency is trying desperately to take away from us. 

Happy holiday.

I don't know, I've never looked.

A Happy one to you too.

Well said and amen.

Prostitution is honorable compared to the TSA show. At least you have the choice whether you want to engage in prostitution. :)

Although smoking might not be allowed in either bordellos or airports.

It's a cruel world.
