Seriously, the news revolving around TSA just keeps getting worse. Just this week I was pressuring my husband to sign up for more college classes and finish his degree a semester early so we can move abroad and get away from being regularly subjected to TSA procedures. This latest news is disturbing.

    Oh yikes! I’ve been looking at taking the train to my parent’s for Christmas and trying to determine which is worse – the new screening or a 26 hour train ride.

      Hmm that’s a tough one. If I wasn’t pregnant and I had to make that choice, I’d probably end up giving in and going with the body scan. Being 7-months pregnant, all three options (body scan, public groping or long train ride) all don’t sound like something I’d want to do. We’ve decided not to travel this holiday season, but I’m not sure what we’ll do after baby.
