Another Anti-gay Activist Warns About Gays in the TSA

Just when it seemed the controversy over high-tech body scanners and "enhanced" pat-down procedures at airports couldn't get weirder, along comes Eugene Delgaudio, a Loudoun County, Va., lawmaker who claims federal transportation officials were motivated to implement the new procedures by the "homosexual agenda," not concerns about terrorism.

Delgaudio, a Republican elected to the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors in 1999 and re-elected twice, made that and other comments Nov. 20 in a widely distributed email he sent in his capacity as president of the conservative non-profit group Public Advocate of the United States. Calling the U.S. Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) non-discrimination hiring policy "the federal employee's version of the Gay Bill of Special Rights," Delgaudio warned that "the next TSA official that gives you an enhanced pat-down could be a practicing homosexual secretly getting pleasure from your submission."

The next TSA official that gives you an enhanced pat-down could also be a perverted and disgusting ex- county supervisor who is doing the same. (Since loosing his position due to mental instability and political incompetence, this may be the only place that will hire him.)

any of us who have been groped in crowded public spaces will agree with Delgaudio though I think the biggest problem may be sexy patdowns from butch lesbians.

a practicing homosexual
Why are they practicing?  Have they not got it right yet?

And pretty much 99.999% of the gay men I know are far too well educated to work for the TSA.

The next Republican who is convinced there is homosexual propaganda............is probably closet gay himself.

Most of the complaints I've heard about were of male agents scanning female passengers.

Move along, there's nothing to see here.  Well, actually there is, but only the TSA gets to see it.
