Be a patriot! Uncle Sam Needs Your Genitals!

Too bad they don't inspect Wall Street and our food supply or off-shore oil rigs with such resolve.

To better quantify the impact of foodborne diseases on health in the United States, we compiled and analyzed information from multiple surveillance systems and other sources. We estimate that foodborne diseases cause approximately 76 million illnesses, 325,000 hospitalizations, and 5,000 deaths in the United States each year.

Or maybe crack down on gun deaths? 42,000 a year.

The United States leads the world's richest nations in gun deaths -- murders, suicides, and accidental deaths due to guns - according to a study published April 17, 1998 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the International Journal of Epidemiology.

The U.S. was first at 14.24 gun deaths per 100,000 people. Two other countries in the Americas came next. Brazil was second with 12.95, followed by Mexico with 12.69.

Should we require a breathalyzer in every car? Results would be transmitted to FBI and local police and then they would send you a code to start your car. Big fines for disabling the tester. Seems only fair given our intense interest in public safety. (On edit: I am not advocating this - as the federal police state moves more and more into the home, those who are apologizing for these actions would do well to explain why they might oppose this but not oppose genital inspections at airports. Since over history, the mortality outcome of one event (death by snakes on a plane) is infinitesimally small, compared to the other (death by drunk driving). Where are the limits and controls on federal intrusion?)

Drunk driving deaths (11,773) accounted for 32% of the total amount of United States car accident deaths (37,261) in 2008.

I bet if we think about it for 10 seconds we could come up with a list of things more deserving of national priorities than penis, vagina and breast inspections at airports.

When it comes to war and a police state, government is all over that.

Or maybe we should congratulate the government? This is a program in scope and scale like the moon landings and rural electrification and national park system, clean water and sewer. Yep, our government knows how to get things done when it wants to.

Torture, wiretapping, police strip searches without cause, all a credit to our government and now the legacy of Obama.

Support the troops and submit to US Govt. genital inspections.

I should at least get a sticker that says TSA Inspected Meat (with a "best if used by" date) that I can put on my balls.

Amazing.
