What do you do if you’re a U.S. District Court judge who’s concerned that the people handling security at a high-school prom might molest high-school students?

You order a “TSA certified person” to supervise, of course.

Because TSA-certified people would never grope high-school students?

Because TSA-certified people pat people down only when there are reasonable grounds?

Or because our kids should get used to being molested the US Government way?

    Mark, have you seen the entry on this from “Blogger Bob,” the primary shill over at the TSA’s blog? Worth the price of admission.

    We’ve also been discussing it at Christopher Elliott’s travel blog (where I recently invoked your name):

    This is an interesting approach that the district judge took. At least the good security officers can look out for suspicious people at high school events though…

      Please, Michelle, tell me that the reason for such a dumb comment is that you’re paying someone to post comment spam.
