Hahaha! Loves it! (I know - im a bitch)
Makes a pat down a two person search. One lifts,and one checks. LOL.
Eww. I once had a neighbor like this. I could never imagine searching him. Then again he's in prison for child porn so he might be touched often (I hope so).
^^^ I can't wait until jet fuel gets so expensive that the airlines start charging ticket prices by the pound ... i.e. each passenger gets say 150 pounds for themselves plus their luggage, and the higher the total weight above 150 pounds the more expensive the ticket gets. After all, from the standpoint of cost to the airline, a 100 pound dancer with 200 pounds of luggage 'costs' the company the same amount as a 300 pound passenger with no luggage. So why should the 100 pound dancer get stuck with an extra $100 in overweight luggage charges when the 300 pound passenger gets to fly his built-in luggage for free ???
Way to make me feel bad about the TSA jerks!
Ok, so I know this might not be a popular point of view.... So what if its uncomfortable for the TSA staff, what about how uncomfortable it is for the passenger.
We need to remember that not all overweight/obese people are lazy, greedy pigs. Many have illnesses which affect their weight, even more are overweight due to medication side effects. I for one have seen my weight go up and down like a pogo stick due to medication I take for a non-weight related health prob.
I'm just saying...it doesn't hurt to think about the flipside.
Thank you for this!
My boyfriend is overweight... he might even be considered obese by those height and weight BMI charts though I don't think he looks that big.
His weight isn't due to illness or side effects, but when he was a kid his family didn't really encourage healthy eating habits. His grandmother was always doing the "You're too skinny! EAT!" thing with him and his brothers.
Now he works out and makes a real effort to eat healthy but it's very difficult for him to lose weight. Honestly, he probably eats healthier than I do a lot of the time but I've just always been naturally thin with almost zero effort.
He's had to face a lot of cruelty, unfair prejudice, and even downright contempt because of his weight, and that really sucks because he's a really awesome person.
Not trying to say anyone on here was being especially cruel or anything, because clearly checking strangers' fat rolls would be an awful job, but like xxxtc said just something to think about.
