You know, watching Steve get searched like that by a bunch of pseudo Nazi's reminds me of the experience I had with the TSA at Denver International.

@rollerblademan It was edited for modesty, it was only the forties after all. In reality they'd have pulled the foreskin back and done a close inspection of both the penis, testicles and anus. Its eerie how similar these techniques are to the ones used today.

They are pretty sharp in Enemiarea!

It seems that they were extemely thorough in their search of Stevee until it was time to inspect his private parts and anus. This was obviously edited. They just glossed over those areas. Not realistic!
