So I’m in Dulles Airport, having just been through the security screening. I’m used to going through metal detectors, so my less-than-three-ounces Blistex and Systane eyedrops don’t usually set off anything. However, with the radiation scanners, apparently those things are detectable. I got the radiation and a pat-down. It was a double-dose of molestation from my own government!
EDIT: Of course, it wasn’t really the lip balm or eye drops; I was a criminal by default for buying a ticket. I was guilty until proven innocent, having had to put my arms up and interlock my fingers in the scanner before they even discovered anything “worth” investigating.
