Coming Soon to an Airport Near You: Prison-style strip searches?

You've heard about the passenger who opted out of a full-body scan (a.k.a. "a virtual strip search") and was subjected to an intrusive and humiliating pat down. "If you touch my junk, I'll have you arrested," passenger John Tyner told Transportation Security Administration workers in San Diego.

Well, rest easy, John—and other passengers offended by both full-body scans and hands-on searches.

TSA won't touch your junk—or your breasts or buttocks. If they begin to strip search passengers as if they're prison inmates, they'll do just what correctional officers do: They'll make you do all the nasty work.

What follows is an excerpt from a training video for prison guards on how to make sure that inmates aren't hiding contraband.

The video makes for extremely uncomfortable watching and viewer discretion—and outrage—is advised. After all, this may well be the next step in how the TSA, one of the least effective and efficient government agencies of all time, goes about its daily business.

Approximately 2.43 minutes.

@williewill037 yeah so if some crazy terrorist bomber walks into a mall or a movie theater or where ever, are we going to be subject to search or strip searches before entering a malls and theaters or where ever?, if your thinking along those lines your better of get ready to give up all your privacies, liberties, constitutional rights. Because these crazy fucks can strike anywhere and anytime not just in the airports. and if they where to strike elsewhere you bet your ass TSA will be everywhere
