High Touch Security

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: November 21, 2010

Can't touch that!…

The TSA where I fly from
has grasped the new rules (and then some).
They're pretty frisky when they touch.
It's like my body's braille.

It's called "hands-on" security.
And that is how it feels to me.
I don't like being touched that way.
They've got their moves down pat.

And there is more, you understand.
The government's new body scan
is most revealing. Private parts
aren't private anymore.

I hate this new "pat down" routine
Is it the only way to screen
for terrorists and fugitives?
Please tell me this will end.
