Miss September Gets The TSA Treatment

All in the interests of national security, of course:

A former "Baywatch" beauty is feeling overexposed after going through what she says was a humiliating body scan by Transportation Security Administration agents at Los Angeles International Airport.

Donna D'Errico, who was the Playboy Playmate in September 1995, says she got a few leers along with the scan and isn't happy about it.

D'Errico, 42, says the encounter occurred at LAX while trying to catch a flight to Pittsburgh with her son, Rhyan, 17.

[…]

"I immediately asked why we were having to go through an extra search, and no one else was being made to do so, indicating the long line of other passengers in front of and behind where we had been in line. In a very sarcastic tone, and still holding me by the elbow, the agent responded, 'Because you caught my eye, and they' -- pointing to the other passengers -- 'didn't.'"

D'Errico is still wondering how she caught his eye while others didn't. 

"My boyfriend and his partner sailed through with no problems, which is rather ironic in that my boyfriend fits the stereotypical 'look' of a terrorist when his beard has grown in a bit, which it was that evening," she said.

Yeap. Leviathan has now become a pervert.

TSA checkpoints are the perfect murder zone

In my opinion TSA has helped the terrorists or anyone wiishing to murder lots of people, do it easily. Why do I say this?

1. At every airport in the U.S. they have created a holding/choke point (in the name of safety).
2. At that holding/choke point lots of people get stacked up (to keep them safe).
3. All the bad guy has to do is have a bomb of some sort in his/her carry on luggage.
4. Show his/her plane ticket and ID to TSA agent #1, and get in line with the other peole waiting to get scanned or patted down.
5. Before getting to TSA agent #2 while standing in the large group of people, detonate his/her bomb.
6. This will murder lots and lots of people.

The only thing TSA does, is stop airplanes from possibly flying into government buildings. And that is even questionable.

What will the DHS do when this scenerio actually happens?

This story says more about the self - important rants of a spoiled narcissist than anything else . She assumes that the odd lear entitles her to get on her high horse and expect the plebes to roll over in awe at her presence. So typical .

Don`t get the part about my boyfriend and his partner. Is this referring to a 3 some .

Question "What will the DHS do when this scenerio actually happens?

Answer: We will have to go through security to get into the security line.

All of this security theater is wearing thin with the travelling public. Sooner or later there will be a revolt resulting in fewer travellers. This will crater the already damaged airline profitability. At that point there will be an initiative to start behavioral profiling; something you cannot do with the current employees of the security theater.

There's a much better chance of finding a terrorist among the security screeners at the Calgary airport, than among the passengers. Anyone who's flown from Calgary knows exactly what I'm talking about.

dp, I think they call it diversity or multiculturalism in action, and by the way it is not limited to the Calgary airport. I do know exactly what you mean though.

Does anyone think that this is a public relations stunt? What has she done since leaving Baywatch in 1998? This woman posed nude in Playboy and has supposedly appeared nude in other magazines or photoshoots. Now, I am supposed to think that this woman who is very open about showing it all for the world to see got embarrassed over the body scan. Come on, she posed for Playboy. Most people(including most women) wouldn't pose in the buff for the world to see. I can understand the anger over the body scan. Most people don't want strangers seeing their stuff. However, this woman has no problem showing it all. She has no career and is using this to rekindle it. I think that you are letting a Baywatch airhead play you. Its pretty pathetic that you let this mental midget play you for chumps!

Saw her being interviewed on Fox news this afternoon and I think she is truly pissed off. Had her young son with her too and he was gropped with vigor. Her point was that she was in a long serpentine line and no one was singled out for "extra" screening until she got there. She did not even know she had been nuked until she was told afterwards. She has not flown in a while and was not familiar with the "new/improved" methods of catching terrorists. When she got through and glanced back there were 3 TSA men smiling and looking at her as she was leaving. Even if she is a "mental midget" I believe her frustration was genuine and sincere. She is still a good looking woman and I'll bet that image will make the rounds, at least among the 3 TSA groppers.

I wonder why she was not offered the ' pat- down ' by the 3 alleged groppers , if they were so intent on getting a quick feel. I suppose it`s her loss . Apparently she wasn`t swift enough to take that option. By now, the airhead set would have made her bigger than Oprah.

Sounded like she was not given the option. She was told to follow the one TSA agent, stand on the outlined footprints and raise her arms. She had no idea what it was all about.(Airhead). She did not see the other two groppers until she looked back for her son. That's when she caught the smiles.

Why is there an immediate assumption this woman is an airhead? or a sleaze? or an attention seeker? Some of the comments sound sort of like the old standby "you can't rape a whore". Well, that one no longer stands up in court, or public opinion.

How very politically corect. Good for you.

Me? Politically correct? I've never been accused of that before. I grew up with 3 older sisters, and saw the crap they endured.

It seems that what will do the statists in, at last, will not be their obvious attack on Liberty. Rather, it will be their strays into the perversions they are known to harbour. It's no longer about defending the safety of citizens: it's really about peeking at a hot Baywatch babe. When citizens are now scanned, people will stare at the operators, chuckle, and ask "Hot enough for you?" Embarrassment maybe the one thing that destroys statists. Turns out, Obama's downfall will not come from his policies. It will happen because, amazingly, he isn't really Superman.

I wonder what they'd do if I put a big Polish sausage in my pants? You think I'd get a secondary search? It would be perfectly legal. I see plenty of passengers carrying lunches on board.

Posted by: dp | 2010-12-10 8:25:36 AM


I guess I should clarify, in the front of my pants.
