i've kinda been following your comments around today but i just wanted to jump on the LAX hate

a tsa guy groped me when i was going through security, in that he snapped at me for doing something wrong (i took my shoes off when i didn't need to, or something similarly grave (which i had learned to do when i exited LAX initially when i flew in), and then grabbed at my breasts while giving me a patdown

my initial version of this comment had more "kinda"s and "?"s in it because i have difficulty asserting that experience apparently but it made me deeply uncomfortable and was the first time i ever felt threatened in the way that women feel threatened, not including catcalling from cars. i just remember walking away feeling really angry and greasy

fuck em

It's gonna take some doing for me to say anything positive about the TSA. It's gonna take more doing for me to say anything positive about LAX.
