Bit idea: Get a bunch of people who have gun shaped objects strapped to them to continuously walk through these to bog the entire system down so the rest of the complacent New Yorkers rebel against it too.

Why yes officer, I always have 7 conspicuous dildos under my clothing. Would you like one?

Your dildos don’t have trigger-operated vibrators? How do you live?

BTW these things also scan the genital area. If an unoperated trans woman passes through, it flags her for having a hidden weapon in her crotch. This has been a source of forced outings, public humiliation and in some cases outright sexual harassment by flight security staff ever since these machines where introduced at airports, i find the idea that somebody could be forced to endure that before every subway ride absolutely nightmarish.

btw a common way to confirm the victim’s claim that the alarm was set off by girldick and not by a firearm is to do a patdown in the crotch area, with the gender of the person doing the patdown depending on the airport’s levels of transphobia.

How would a metal detector sense the shape of your flesh? And how would it know your legal gender?

When you go through they gotta press a button guessing your sex. Whether I get patted on the crotch or the bra is a test of how well I pass that day.

i don’t even have words for this one. this is completely deranged even by US standards. they’re going to make you go through the TSA experience every single day. it won’t do anything to stop crime or terrorism or anything that it says on its face. they’re going to do this, it’s going to stay, and the only people who are for it are people who don’t use the subway

god damn america

I’m pretty sure Beijing has bag scanners in their metro to be fair. But I don’t think they’re doing body scanners
