The United States of Don't Touch My Junk

Mary Katherine Ham, over at The Daily Caller, reports on "The United States of Don't Touch My Junk" in this video (note: there are very clinical references to both female and male junk in the video. Rating: PG):
My favorite quote from Ham: "Maybe this is just another awesome perk of health care where you get your mammogram while you're going through the airport. Ever think of that? Yeah....ingrates."
Meanwhile, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum has his own take on the TSA's security-groping measures: "terrorists win."

Re: The United States of Don't Touch My Junk
This could be the start of something big.
Mary Katherine Ham deserves a cover as hottest conservative woman of the week. EJHill, are you reading this? She's smart, witty, funny, and very huggable.
The travesties and violations of our dignity and honor as Americans will continue to increase until enough of us get off our a** , call our representatives, and vote!

MK's hilarious, even if the whole thing is surreal/depressing/serfdom. Note to college sophomore: Sorry I booked you a flight for Thanksgiving. I promise to drive down to NC and get you for Christmas.

Good luck to your daughter! I'm lucky that my Turkey day traveling only involves a bus ride across the Hudson river.
On another note -- I wonder how the TSA officials feel about these security-groping measures. Obviously its demeaning to travelers--but it has to be demeaning to the TSA officials too, having to touch strange people in strange places, you know? Or maybe they enjoy the power trip?

Just tell them they are boosting their immune systems for cold and flu season.

How did Janet Napolitano ever get picked to run anything? Not to put too fine a point on it, but she looks and sounds like a complete idiot. Yes, that is a personal slap, but it is also very relevant. The TSA is doing a lousy job because the big boss is utterly, hopelessly incompetent. They should put her back behind the counter in the little doughnut shop where they found her.

Mary Katherine Ham is great. I found out about Townhall.com after seeing her as a guest on O'Reilly.

My pilot friend informed me that many of the private security folks who operated airline security before government's takeover were hired on by the TSA. Plenty of them are fine people, I'm sure, but not all are mature enough to resist jokes and groping or respond well to passenger anger.
Coincidentally, Steyn got a call while he was hosting Rush's show today from the wife of a TSA agent. He didn't handle it as well as he could have. The wife was right that her husband is just doing his job. It's the politicians who created and are preserving the system who deserve most of our ire.

Don't touch my junk? What is junk here? Who views his/her genitals as junk? That attitude invites the government trespassing. Be proud of your ---- and knock the socks off any government serf who violates you.

Good question. She is indeed an extremely dim bulb. Remember the Christmas day attempted bombing last year when she said, "The system worked"?
Here's the answer: so-called 'progressives' - and Marxists - love the angry masculine woman, like Janet Reno, Nancy Pelosi, and Hillary Clinton, who have an agenda and an axe to grind; particularly against men. Somehow it's in their DNA.
Ken Kesey created the archetypal Nurse Ratched character for One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, and she's pervasive in the modern world. It's ironic that Kesey, a 'progressive' himself, would have such a good handle on the type. But then he would have seen more of them than most people.
