Morrissey airport security incident CCTV video posted - Gawker

Re: Morrissey Airport Incident Video

Seriously, in this post 9/11 world, if you go on public record saying you've got explosive kegs down there, you can expect the airport staff to be a little extra thorough.

I'd rather have my balls pinched than have to remove my shoes at the air-port. I can't believe they still (or ever did) do that. It's disgusting to walk on those floors. Do they make you go barefoot if you go in wearing a flip flop? I say flip flop rather than flip flopS because I only have one leg. I'm quite visually appealing though.

Ah, Bejaysis - the Irish are not a 'race', they are a nationality, so they are!

It's hard to determine conclusively by the video but I'm disgusted that the TSA spends so much time patting people down. Such a violation.
It looks to me like he stuck his hand down the back of his pants.

Several months ago my family and I had to fly to Boston and one of the TSA agents gave my daughter a sticker that looks like a TSA badge. I removed it from her shirt and threw it in the trash. No way is my child going to be walking propaganda for the TSA.

This is the reason why I hate you Brits and other assorted Euro trash on this board. This is so English. Isn't there some board where you people can talk about Morrissey and incorporate kickball and where to get the best deal on line for an authentic New York Yankees baseball cap?

Racist pig

Ireland is one of only very few countries that is trusted to have security / customs pre-clearance carried out in Dublin,
before you fly so you don't have to wait for ages to have it done when you land in USA
Not even Bush's bum boy Blair could swing that for the UK

I'll just point out that that was a joke. In the north of England we do poke fun at the Irish and they return the compliment. It's called banter. Put your f***ing axes away!
Not that I'd want to deny anyone on here the opportunity to whinge and f***ing cry of course...
How about you should just (laugh / not laugh) and move on...

I would expect nothing less from an Obama White House than harassment of a white British guy.
Where is Damon is all of this?

didnt moz have similar problems previously, due to some rather striking remarks he made about the queen? im sure cat stevens gets patted down too.

Of course, the next time anyone does manage to blow up/hijack a plane, all you whiners will be back here blaming airport security for not giving people thorough patdowns and searches, because they were afraid of touching their goolies.

Indeed, studies have shown that nothing helps victims of sexual abuse better or faster than their neighbours being able to see footage of the abuse on demand. What, after all, is PornHub for?

hahaha... Slay me ! u do.

Studies have shown abuses thrive on victim's silence.

abuse in general, in terms of helping a victim, requires talking to the victim and giving them the control over how its handed

True. THat's half the battle.

Yes, yes, but on to the important stuff. What do we think of the man-tunic, CG?

That's right. Morrissey made public this abuse, and gave all the details during an interview. His bravery wasn't valued enough, he even was criticized when in fact he is far ahead a lot of us in terms of ethics. A society that punishes a victim denouncing abuse is sick.

the most damaging aspect of any abuse large or small is the fear and shame large and small due to lack of control. in this case he chose to talk about it and viewing the video only validates him giving him the control he wanted over the intrusion
