While I agree that profiling, such as Israel does, is far superior to what is done in our name by the TSA, characterizing what she experienced, outrageous as it was, falls short of sexual assault. The damage this rhetoric does is apace with defining sexual assault down into the weeds of triviality. When rolling your eyes at someone becomes sexual assault in the workplace, you know we’re near the bottom of the slippery slope.
We’re aspiring to become a nation of snowflakes.
I think you have a point.
I believe this TSA business is just that- a business, deserving of criticism- but, calling an in-public pat down a “sexual assault” is an injustice to real sexual assault, and what’s more, doing so is an irritating habit and tactic of the Left that amplifies distortions of language and events and REALITY.
Hate to see us conservatives fall into that habit on public forums. It’s okay in humor, but really... drop the drama, be pizzed, and stop there.
I don’t fly. I get to say “if you don’t like it, don’t fly”. To me it’s humorous that anyone would,... short of a death in the family.
It’s always okay if it happens to someone else until it happens to us. Then it is suppose to be a large deal.
