It makes me mad. Remember Airport fury back in September.
I line up patiently. Like everyone else. I get my turn. Like everyone else. I successfully get my bag through the Xray machine. Like most people. But then me, just me, gets pulled into a cabin and gets demanded to display my bald head, in all its glory.
Hardly anyone gets to see this part of me. It is very private. Yet these people feel they have a right to expose and embarrass me. As if it is human right of theirs. Well it is not.
If I was wearing my wig, they would not care. But my hats are like a red flag to them, any sight of them makes these people lose any respect or kindess to other human beings.
I can’t believe they have the right to demand I take my hat off. Can I find that out anywhere? Anyone know? Surely us baldies have rights? Isn't that a form of harrassment? Well it feels like it!
I have had enough. I find it a real intrusion.
The woman today insisted that I had to remove my hat. I argued politely, but she was insistent.
In the spirit of getting to my destination I removed my hat, a little abruptly. I showed her, what hardly anyone else gets to see, my bald alopecian head. Even my best friends haven't seen me like this.
I am angry. This experience made me mad.
And now I am in a bad mood on what started out as a lovely day.
Grumble grumble.
Few thoughts on this:
ReplyDelete1-That sucks
2-I bet this is harassment..do Arabs have to remove their turbans I wonder?
3-Why don't you wear a wig through security if bothersome?
4-This is very dumb procedure
5-In one way I am glad it happens as then you are totally natural and you in that little cabin and probably good for you to expose in public here and there no?
6-I think next time you got to airport -take me with you. I will scream at them all
xox you know who (ykw)
