Miami airport screener beats coworkers after continued workplace bullying about the size of his genitals, precipitated by a training session at which he was observed in a full body scanner. As user "Krutz" says in the Sensible Erection thread:
I think you're overlooking the wider implications of a bunch of immature
mouth-breathers being put in charge of a scanner that allows them to see
through clothing.

I just flew out of Chattanooga. Mistake. I should have taken the shuttle to Atlanta.
- They took my 3.5oz toothpaste container that was see through and almost empty. It's recently made it to S. Africa and back.
- My watch and largish flashlight in my pocket made it through the metal scanner.
- They were upset that my belt was part of my pants.. but the buckle is plastic so they did not make me take off my pants. Lucky them.. I was commando.
- They did not catch/complain about the wire cutters, screwdriver or
Leaving Guyana and Dominica, they go through my bags by hand (as well as x-ray them) and politely and professionally pat me down. The security people have the demeanor and attitide of current or ex-military and are very efficient and alert. No "mouth breathers" in sight. Of course, the job market is very competitive and such a job is an esteemed and sought after position.

such ridicule in place.
