Thanks to Doug Ross for a good many of these.

But first, we quote Charles Krauthammer – because you can’t go wrong quoting Charles Krauthammer…

Don’t touch my junk is the anthem of the modern man, the Tea Party patriot, the late-life libertarian, the midterm election voter. Don’t touch my junk, Obamacare – get out of my doctor’s examining room, I’m wearing a paper-thin gown slit down the back. Don’t touch my junk, Google – Street View is cool, but get off my street. Don’t touch my junk, you airport security goon – my package belongs to no one but me, and do you really think I’m a Nigerian nut job preparing for my 72-virgin orgy by blowing my johnson to kingdom come?

In “Up in the Air,” that ironic take on the cramped freneticism of airport life, George Clooney explains why he always follows Asians in the security line:

“They pack light, travel efficiently, and they got a thing for slip-on shoes, God love ’em.”

“That’s racist!”

“I’m like my mother. I stereotype. It’s faster.”

That riff is a crowd-pleaser because everyone knows that the entire apparatus of the security line is a national homage to political correctness. Nowhere do more people meekly acquiesce to more useless inconvenience and needless indignity for less purpose. Wizened seniors strain to untie their shoes; beltless salesmen struggle comically to hold up their pants; 3-year-olds scream while being searched insanely for explosives – when everyone, everyone, knows that none of these people is a threat to anyone.

And now, today’s parade of horribles…

• Man claims Charlotte TSA employee groped his 6-year-old son

• Man punches TSA screener at Indianapolis International Airport

• Controversial pat down at US airport leaves 3-yr-old girl sobbing

• Airport staff ‘exposed woman’s breasts, laughed’

• Airport pat-down was ‘sexual assault’

• “It’s sexual molestation all the way around”

• “Never again… The pat downs are simply past what I will accept to fly”

• Southwest Exec: “People getting partially molested at checkpoints”

• For Survivors of Sexual Assault, New TSA Screenings Represent a Threat

Happy holiday traveling next week!
