Libertines - Yay!, Workers - Boo!

As I was driving in to work this morning, for whatever reason, I was thinking more about Mandi Hamlin, the skank that was forced to remove her nipple rings by a TSA airport employee as she went through the security line. Most people seem to be supporting her and not the TSA guy.

Here's this TSA guy, on his feet 8-9 hours a day, doing his best, when along comes Mandi the Libertine with metal rings in her boobs. I doubt this was covered in the guy's training manual and even if it was, he was probably trying to figure out how to avoid getting written up by his supervisor. He took the safe route and made her remove them. Now he's the butt of jokes and blog posts all over the place. All he was trying to do was his job.

Meanwhile, Mandi, whose sole contribution seems to have been puncturing her body in a fit of exhibitionism, is held up as some kind of civil liberties queen. The guy doing an honest day's work gets trashed and the airheaded skank gets praised. That tells you a lot about the cultural state of the nation.
