Frisky TSA worker finds sex toy, leaves note
Jokes are more popular than a frisky TSA frisking, but what if you could combine the two and include a sex toy reference?
One carryon-checking TSA worker managed to do just that, according to an article posted on Gawker.com.
Air traveler Jill Filipovic, who packs a “personal item,” sent the website an email including the pic of a a TSA luggage inspection notice adorned with a personal note from a federal worker – “GET YOUR FREAK ON GIRL.”
Filipovic, who writes the Feministe blog, seems to have a sense of humor; she gave the email a subject line of “Hilarious/Horrifying?”
I’d say neither.
It’s another unnecessary government intrusion into privacy, but I tend to be cranky and Libertarian on Mondays. At least the TSA worker didn’t provide his/her phone number.
In other news, TSA workers missed finding a loaded handgun that fell out of luggage in Los Angeles.

When you pack your toy you’ve got it coming to you. AHEM.

Business as usual for the TSA. Their “officers” keep embarrassing the agency one perverted action at a time. How can anyone take this agency seriously? So these goons act like immature adolescents when they see a personal item in a suitcase, and we are supposed to believe they are somehow going to twart a terrorist? Yea right. This just proves this brazen abuse of passengers is rampant in this out of control rogue agency. I’ll bet some talking-head TSA spokesperson is going to release their generic response that they do to every TSA blunder real soon. “We’ve thoroughly investigated the incident and the officer followed procedures blahhhh blahhhh blahhhhh…..”

For every one person who writes that note, there are thousands who, upon finding such an item, ignore it and keep doing their job, rooting through your crap so you don’t end up a smoking greasy smear on the countryside. Get a little perspective, and a touch of gratitude.

She writes the feministe blog? That explains everything.
