I got flagged for a random TSA pat down once and the agent asked me if I had any metal in my body. I replied “I have an IUD”. The agent freaks out and starts flagging other agents over. She musters all her calm and says “Please repeat that you have an IED on you” to which I had to say “no, an IUD, a copper intrauterine device, for birth control”. She didn’t know what an IUD was and I had to explain it to her. I bet she’ll remember now!

TSA as our "first line of defense" 😄 I been saying it since we first created it as an agency, they're a waste of tax dollars and a violation of people's privacy. Get that ish outta here.

It's like asking a meter maid to investigate the mob.

Isn't that basically the plot of Zootopia?

But for a large group, the answer would be, to paraphrase a special kind of Americans visiting Europe: "Are you speaking muslim?? No? You're welcome!"
