    Greg is smokin'

    Being in the prison business for 23+ years, I've had the dubious honor of conducting body cavity searches, fondly known as "nuts & butts" in officer speak. It's probably one of the least desirable jobs there can be in security, hence it usually falls to the most junior officers, seniority-wise. As Xiahou pointed out, that little string sticking out usually is attached to a balloon or condom filled with drugs, but I've seen all types of shanks too. And one time, a freshly suffocated gerbil.

    We are trained not to touch, let alone yank, any objects within a subject's body cavity (common sense). One directs the person to remove the object themselves, or medical personnel is required to do the deed. Sounds to me like the airport should hire a new doctor, and the feds should train their officers & supervisors in proper strip-frisk & body cavity searches. Saves lots of paperwork,embarassment, and lawsuit $$$. This guy is going to tear them a new one with this lawsuit.

    That could turn into a real slapfest.

    I suspect that over zealousness and failure to follow training are to blame. That and a quack of a doctor. Never did trust doctors much.

    You have destroyed your audience with such audacity, Greg. No, I would go farther and say you have rect'um.

    Apparently our new UK biometric passports (which have to last 10 years) are only under warranty for 2 years.

    So expect more immigration hell as they all start failing.

    OK, I give up.
