Godfather.
My PA ring set off the metal detectors (this was about 2005) and the guard asked me what "it" was setting them off. I explained that I had my penis pierced and told him it was the ring.
He said he was going to have to see it. So I dropped my pants right there for him to see.
His eyes bugged out of his head as he almost shouted that "we could have gotten a private room for that."
I told him "we're in San Francisco. They've all seen it."
I thought it was funny at the time although I'm lucky I didn't get arrested. The point is that many people have had to go through overly-upclose screening at Airports and it's only now that it's regular uppity white people that it's a problem. Black and Asian women have been strip-searched for years and nobody gave a toss.
In the end... if you ask me (and even if you didn't), I think that the fact that we live in constant fear is proof that the terrorists have won. When I can't get on a bus without people looking at me trying to figure out if I'm a Nazi Skinhead or just a gay guy with a BodyMod fetish... the carefree days of America are over.
