TSA Blocks Private Parts Image Blockers! Uber Intrusive Pat Downs Ensue.

Interested in becoming a lewd flasher? Head to your nearest airport! It's practically mandatory! These days it almost seems like going to the airport should be reserved for those with a Sadomasochism fetish because no matter what passengers do, they cannot seem to avoid being forcibly humiliated by TSA agents.

These pat downs and nude imaging machines have coupled to create an absurd safety procedure that has placed the comfort- and dignity -of American travelers on the back burner and moved what to the front? (ALERT!: possibly offensive language set to que in 3...2...1...) Women's camel toe (men of course being exempt from this particular invasion because of anatomical differences- but don't think other areas of men's bodies are safe, including areas that most men probably aren't happy about being prodded even by their doctors when they are in their mid-fifties getting screened for prostate cancer, let alone a random TSA agent who has probably done the same thing 38 times on his/ her shift already and only taken one bathroom break, where he/she hopefully washed his or her hands).

But ah! A solution, perhaps? Companies like http://scannershirts.com/ offer products that place an image like the presidential seal or stars or other freedom-promoting American symbols (declaring that the areas attempting to be peeped upon are for select eyes only) over passengers' private parts.

However, don't just rush to the website all at once and crash their server- the TSA does not allow passengers to wear these items- unless you are willing to be subject to an IN-DEPTH (wink) pat down/ grope session.
