indigo_rose99Did you know the new security scanners come with a pair of gender buttons?
The guard on the other side of the scanner stopped me, pointed to a screen and said I had to go through again. The image had a huge blob over the breast region. "Sorry," she said, "I didn't switch it to the girl setting. You'll have to walk through again."
"There is a girl and boy setting?!" I must have sounded incredulous, because she pointed to two buttons (blue and pink, of course) on the side of the machine the second time I walked through.
So... I have to think that in the "boy" setting, breasts are viewed as contraband?!
