At Least Bring In The Pros
link TSA Changes Pat-Down Procedure at Airports – ABC News.
Apparently there are complaints filed from the Lap Dancers’ union known as LEWD, Ladies Employed While Dancing, local 44DD about encroachment by the TSA into their workspace. As some may know, at strip bars, patrons can pay for a session with a dancer who then proceeds to gyrate her body on an appreciative customer. Naturally, these kinds of services are not free, patrons are obligated to pay for the few moments of titillation.
The dancers’ union now fear that the new TSA invasive search policies amount to encroachment upon their business and are demanding that they have their union members employed to perform the searches. A spokesperson for the union, LEWD, stated:
“…We are disturbed and dismayed that the Federal government would take jobs away from our members. During this tough time in the economic cycle, people should not be cannibalizing each others’ jobs. Our members have specific skills and experience in feeling up patrons whereas TSA staff are neither trained nor qualified for these positions. At the very least, there should be uniformity for the screeners, minimally the standard G string. In addition, the working environment must include loud rhythmic music as is mandated in all of our work locations. Since most of the members of LEWD are women, we consider this an attack on the employment prospects of women and expect full cooperation by the TSA in addressing our concerns and hiring our members…”
