Sounds he like he was complying with the explicit purpose of the entire procedure--albeit more thoroughly and willingly than was requested. I would rather he ditch the 'free speech' argument and argue directly that this is what they wanted, so this is what they got. What is it--jump this high, but no further? No, goddamnit, if you want to pry into a man's privacy you will pry all the way or not at all--you don't get to pick and choose.

"We only want to look into your anal cavity, we have no desire to look into your pee pee hole, sir."
People need to start defecating and urinating during these searches with an apology of "I was nervous" speaking as someone who has really cleaned up more than enough poop and pee accidents I'm fairly certain that they'll decide they'd cleaned up enough poo and pee. Or not.

Problem is the people in power aren't the ones cleaning up the poo. So they will just helpfully say "make sure to wear gloves."

Aren't *WE* the "people in power"? I know we're not the people who directly write the rules (or pick up the poo). I like the strategy of making this onerous policy even more onerous in the hopes that it will be abandoned, but I agree that this is applying leverage at the wrong place. I think the right place to apply leverage would be where changes in the policy could be made--those people who make the rules--lawmakers, administrators, etc. If *they* were subjected to the same indignities and hassles and costs (and for the same justification, namely none), I think the likelihood of having some reasonable changes made would improve. The question then becomes "how can we make those people eat their own dog food?" That, I don't know. I imagine such people are exempted from the searches (and the lines!) and therefore don't really get it. Right now, it works out that the people that benefit (and decide) from the rules are not the people paying the costs. That disconnect is a recipe for trouble everywhere it occurs.

Well that's cool. I wonder if her ability to see infrared and ultraviolet are enhanced as well.

On another forum, I asked a similar question about Hunter's Orange and how it was seen by those who are color-blind.
These pics of a cormorant was one reply. When this pic was taken, it was in the process of getting it's head screwed on right. |

Here's a simple test. Do you see the number 8?
This measures red/green color blindness. How about this one? Can you see the number 7? This one measures the more rare blue/yellow color blindness. [/fucking with you] |
