The Friendly Skies

[cyrano]

I'm coming up on more air travel, and I'm reminded of a question that I usually only think of when I really can't ask it--when I'm about to have my junk touched by a TSA agent. I'm 36 hours early, but I'm calling this IFIAYAQ!

When you receive special attention at airport security, they immediately pair you up with a same-sex buddy. Why is this?

If it's so that nobody gets a thrill from feeling you up, then bisexuals could never get jobs with TSA, and you'd have to tag the hetero- and homosexuals to make certain they only frisked the inappropriate gender. But they don't do that.

If it's so I don't get a thrill from being felt up, then as a bisexual I could never fly anywhere and y'all would have to declare yourselves straight/gay/asexual/sporogenetic or whatever. They really don't want to do that.

if it is that the TSA agent isn't supposed to get thrills from touching the passengers, then you're correct. But if the passengers aren't supposed to get a thrill from being felt up, then we need to have the passengers identify their sexual orientation. And bisexuals can't fly, because, well, we get turned on by anyone in blue gloves. Or something.
