Don't touch my junk. Touch his.

WRITING for the Atlantic, Wendy Kaminer takes apart Charles Krauthamer’s (pictured left) recent op-ed on TSA. She wrote: “Krauthamer is suffused with moral clarity when confronted with intrusive TSA screening procedures. What's his solution to airport security? Racial profiling. The trouble with screening procedures is ‘political correctness.’ The same TSA responsible for the ‘idiocy’ of new screening procedures is apparently smart enough to recognize a terrorist by his appearance; he's not a ‘beltless salesman,’ much less a ‘wizened senior’ (and, I guess, he is not Timothy McVeigh); he is an immediately recognizable ‘Nigerian Nut job.’” In other words, Kaminer writes, “Don't touch our junk. Touch his."
