Did you know the TSA has an anti “poof” policy? I sure didn’t. I headed over to the TSA’s official blog to see if comrade “Blogger Bob” has ever discussed this policy only to not find anything specifically addressing “poof”. I am sure however that he is busily working on an explanation of this policy that will make everyone’s head spin right now.
We learn about the TSA’s anti “poof” policy via Laura Adiele who was stopped by security personal after going trough a full body scan. After the scan, TSA agents reportedly demanded to inspect Ms. Adiele’s hair because it was “poofy”.
“The supervisor shows up and she says, ‘It’s our policy that we examine anything that poofs from the body,’ and I’m looking around me at all these women with bigger hair if you will and I’m thinking ‘why am I the only one being singled out here for poofy hair?” Adiele said.
Ms. Adiele is smart enough to question this. She noted many other women with big hair were passing unmolested through security. If the policy of “if it poofs we must touch it” were a real policy and not one made up on the spot by a burger flipper reject then this would simply not have happened. All these other women would have been stopped as well if the “Poofy Principle” were a real policy.
And what constitutes “poopfiness”? Are fat people “poofy”? What about large breasted women? Just wondering out loud here. Especially considering I thought the new danger we were all supposed to be worried about were bodies implanted with exploives.
