"  Maybe it&amp;#039;s the radiation, or maybe it&amp;#039;s the threat of my stripped and undergarment-bound body being broadcast to a room of strangers with GEDs, but airport security always makes me gird my loins. I spend most of the time waiting in line nervously patting my crotch to make sure nothing was slipped into my pants the last time I looked away. The thought of the pat-down, where people I don&amp;#039;t know will caress me while looking into my eyes to see if I&amp;#039;m lying and calling me &amp;quot;ma&amp;#039;am&amp;quot; is more stress-inducing than the scanner, I think. So it&amp;#039;s a really good thing I read this post from Taking Sense Away, the blog of a former TSA employee, after I traveled for the holidays.  In the post, a reader asks, &amp;quot;Tell us, please, what really happens in that private room and why the TSA does not want it seen in public nor recorded.&amp;quot; Why, I wondered the very same thing!  The answer is soothing at first. The blogger notes that s/he never witnessed wrongdoing or shadiness in the screening process, and that checks and balances are set up to prevent unlawfulness. Then s/he gets to the fourth paragraph. &amp;quot;Now, the I.O. Room (the image operator room, where your nude images are viewed at airports that still use the backscatter x-ray full body scanners), that, my friend, is a whole different story.&amp;quot; Oh is it? TELL ME MORE. &amp;quot;Personally, in the I.O. room, I witnessed light sexual play among officers, a lot of e-cigarette vaping, and a whole lot of officers laughing and clowning in regard to some of your nude images, dear passengers.&amp;quot;  You guys. Next time you take a relaxing holiday, perhaps it&amp;#039;s wisest to sport an iron bikini under your sweater and jeans. Is that even a thing? Someone start a letter writing campaign to Victoria&amp;#039;s Secret. Let&amp;#039;s get these things made. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
