(updated to correct ambiguous wording in title of post. This is a concern for the future — I have not actually experienced this and am not planning to fly anywhere anytime soon.)
– You will show me your ID badge with your full name, and I will write that name down, before you begin.
– I will be watching you, and if I see you do something that I believe may harm my children in any way, I will be reporting it in writing, with your name attached, to the airport, the airline, the TSA hierarchy, and local law enforcement.
– You may not take me or my children into a hidden room. Whatever you do to us, you will do in full view of other citizens.
– You will put on a new pair of gloves before you touch any member of my family.
– I will loudly, politely, and accurately describe what you are doing while you are doing it.
– You should know that I am not at all comforted by the suggestion that men are assigned to touch my boys' genitals and women are assigned to touch my girls.
– I understand that the stated purpose of your job is to protect the public. You should understand that MY job is to protect MY children.
– If your job really does require you to stick your hands in children's and teenagers' clothing, stroke their breasts and vulvas and penises through their clothing, or view them naked on a screen, then I say your job is asking you to do something that is dehumanizing and morally wrong and, if I had that job, I'd resign. I will not treat you with malice, but neither will I soften my words to make it easier for you to do a morally wrong and dehumanizing job. The government couldn't abuse our children if no one would agree to be a paid abuser.
