Fun With the TSA

First, this headline:

Kirkland 6-year-old patted down by TSA agents

The kid was apparently patted down twice. Is there anyone with any common sense at the TSA? I'm beginning to wonder.

I've been embarking on my own fun little TSA project and you too can play along if you like. If you have the Facebook app for your mobile phone, there's a feature called "Places" that allows you to tag your location. When you hit the "Check-in" button a list of local places pops up and you can tag yourself in one of those locations. If your location isn't in the list, you can add a new one.

That's where the fun comes in. Whenever I go to an airport I add a location called "TSA Groping Station" and the airport name. From then on every time a Facebook user hits "Check-in" that location will show up in the list. It's kind of a private protest against an increasingly intrusive agency.

Since I can only get to a few airports a year, please feel free to play along at your local airport or wherever you fly. I'd love to see a "TSA Groping Station" location in every airport in the country.
