You don't even want to know where the screener's other hand is.

The plan is in place.  Everyone seems fed up with the TSA and the humiliating choice between naked scanners or crotch-fondling, so why not do something about it?  Tomorrow, Wednesday the 24th, is the biggest traveling day of the entire year, since it’s the day before Thanksgiving.  More people travel on this Wednesday than they do any other time, so in order to make the life of the average TSA agent hell, the Great Opt-Out was organized.  Long story short, everyone’s supposed to opt out of the full-body scanner, get the pat-down, and make travel as difficult as possible in order to send a message to the TSA.

Of course, that probably won’t work, and Discovery has a great explanation of why the protest won’t work.  It all starts with caring, and TSA agents don’t.  If they have to spend their 8 hour shift patting people down, then so be it.  They get paid either way.  The only people who the Great Opt Out will harm are people who actually have to travel (in other words, those who opt out).

You think the TSA cares if you make your flight?  Or that the lines might stretch for hours?  Of course not.  I recommend wearing absorbent diapers, not crotch-shielding underwear, because the lines are going to be awful.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
