    Given how badly the loss of Fukushima affected the Japanese power grid, I'd wager that they didn't have a replacement and as a result didn't have a choice but to keep running 55 year old gear.

    Perhaps, but the side of the hand can hardly be said to start with F.

    I know exactly how these searches work, and it went according to procedure as you can tell if you'd read TFA and took off the anti-TSA victim goggles.

    But go ahead. Keep making shit up and trying to discredit me and my service with an argument that boils down to little more than "nuh-uh!" It won't change reality.

    Judging by TFA, she didn't get UFIV'd at all. She just doesn't know the difference between her vulva and her vagina. The side of the TSA agent's hand slipped between her labia through her apparently not very protective clothes as she was administering the karate chop they use to check for items hidden between the legs. She didn't just reach down her pants and slip a finger in.

    Maybe next time the broad will wear jeans and bring an anatomy book to read on the plane.

    Her description and recollection of the events cannot be assumed to be the actual way things went down - victims of crime and bystanders often have a shocking lack of detailed recall after the fact, and in fact have been demonstrated on many occasions to entirely make shit up in order to form a cohesive narrative in their heads. You don't know what she said when opting out, you don't know how she behaved in opting out, and you don't know how invasive the touch was - it's entirely possible that it was incidental contact that is being exaggerated. The victim claims she was forcibly penetrated multiple times. The TSA agent claims that she followed TSA protocol to the letter. Who do we believe? Well, that's why we have courts & legal proceedings - both sides present their evidence, and a determination of wrongdoing is made.

    As someone who has actually been trained to perform pat-downs in the military, I know exactly what happened.

    Everything was going normally until it came time to check the crotch area, which is where a lot of people, especially women, hide shit. Standard procedure is to just do a little karate chop against the crotch to make sure there's nothing there that shouldn't be there. From the sound of it, the cunt was wearing spandex or something else that doesn't provide a lot of resistance, so she used a harmless touch as an excuse to make a scene and scream bloody murder.

    It's clear that this broad is just an attention whore and an antagonistic hippy. You shouldn't believe a word she says.

    Schools don't need more money. What they need is to focus on subjects that actually matter and stop offering arts degrees. Doctors, engineers, and scientists make society function. Sociology and English Literature do not.

    Companies aren't going to produce goods overseas if tariffs make importing them more expensive than paying Americans living wages.

    More importantly, tell that to the relatives of the people who will die next time, because everyone says "bah, evacuate my ass, remember Irene?".

    The scenario is stupid to begin with since it's inconceivable that any species could industrialize, let alone advance to the space age without doing the exact same things we're doing. I'd wager that we're probably ahead of the pack with regards to not strip-mining the entire planet as far as spacefaring civilizations go.
