Even when she showed up stripped down to her bra and panties, she was sent away because they said she had traces of nitrates on her wheelchair and luggage.

1. This is absurd. Do these security "professionals" have no discretion? Have they

no room to make a judjment call? This is just beyond ridiculous. I can't help but think that some of those TSA employees agree.

3. Is it true that she was an unlicensed dentist that caused a child's death?

4. Playboy model in 1997....

5. I don't care if it was a publicity stunt. ALL protests are by definition

6. Devil's advocate: Should we just do racial /gender/age profiling?

Should certain people automatically be excused from scanners and pat downs? If so, is that a wise long term strategy (for instance, wouldn't "terrorists" catch on and use the exempt people to carry out their crimes?)?
