Every time Missouri state Rep. Cynthia Davis sends out her Capitol Report, it seems that our inbox dings a bit more cheerily than usual. We know we're in for a good time when the subject is "The TSA Pat Down" -- Cynthia Davis style.
She is incredulous at the fact that outside of O'Fallon, nobody knows who she is.
Are they really afraid that a member of the Missouri State Legislature is going to perform an act of terrorism and suicide? I think not.But Davis is out to rectify that injustice, damn it, and proposes a solution for people, like herself, that are above reproach terroristically. She calls them "frequent flyers"--also known as rich white people -- and their employees. Instead of going through security, she suggests that a "simple fingerprint or iris scan upon boarding is all that is necessary to prove your identity" if you're a part of this WASPy cadre.
Because her progressive measures have not yet been adopted by airports,
Davis wrote that she had to undergo the trauma of a "personal body search,"
which was when she realized that the terrorists had won:
TheHey, TSA: Cynthia Davis wants to know why you insist on feelin' on her booty and letting all those swarthy Muslims go unmolested. You knew it was coming:fact that our citizens are now being violated by body searches when
they want to fly, and the fact that we are violating our own
constitution to accomplish this, is a form of victory for the terrorists
already.
Greater scrutiny of those who buy one way tickets, pay with cash and originate from nations that are hostile toward us would make a lot more sense than our own government violating our citizens in the name of enhanced pseudo-safety.But why stop at the red flags? Let's condemn an entire swath of people:
There is nothing wrong with acknowledging that the acts of terrorism were executed by Muslim men trying to kill Americans because of their religion. The Muslim religion teaches world domination and there is a historical record of them brutally killing their opponents, so this is nothing unusual. The men who blew up our buildings on September 11th, acted out of sincere dedication to their religion.Davis' misunderstanding of Islam is the lowest, saddest part of the letter. Thankfully, Davis wraps it up with a little ditty about her favorite subject: her sexual wiles.
Even though St. Louis does not have an international airport, they always give me the hand patting because I wear skirts. In Washington D.C., I wore the exact same skirt and even used my concealed weapon permit for my identification and they didn't feel it necessary to pull me out of the line, X-ray or naked-body scan me or physically touch me.Patting, skirt-wearing, weapons, naked-body ... way to save the best paragraph for last. Sounds like the beginning of a new genre of story: legislat-erotica. Thanks again, Cynthia Davis.

After reading the comments below, looks like this horse was well beaten. Good work Pitch readers.
While I'm sure many other commentors will give this article the thorough "dressing-down" (pun completely intended) it deserves... I must take issue with one small part.
"Even though St. Louis does not have an international airport..."
Pretty sure when I flew into and out of it last week, everyone referred to St. Louis' airport as "Lambert St. Louis International Airport"... If she's right, the city blew a sh!t-ton of money on incorrect signage...
Hey, Can't believe how stupid you all are!: That is incredible knowledge for me as I traveled DIRECTLY to and from Cancun this past February from Lambert INTERNATIONAL Airport and was subject to customs when I returned.
Where has Rep Davis been since 9/11? Apparently too grossly absorbed with her own 'stardom' in the MO legislator. At least she is on her way out. Come Jan 5th we no longer have to deal with her.
@Can't believe how stupid you all are!
check your facts "dumbass".
there are two airlines that fly to toronto canada direct 2 times a day.
air canada and united.
since i have to have a passport that is international.
now you look just as foolish at her.
as i be willing to bet she has never been to canada or out of the country-(unless its been since she has been in office of course.
Hey dumb asses, check your facts! Our airport ceased any direct arrivals or departures from international ports over 3 years ago! Your right the name should be changed, but most importantly at least Ms. Davis knew this (honestly, I'm surprised she did!)
And yes, even dumber one everyone is scanned through a metal detector at an airport! Good catch, I'm so impressed with your intelligence...
That said, she is such an ignorant intolerant fool! She is embarrassing to all Missourian's as well as all us Republicans, even the ones to stupid to know to be embarrassed...
Damn Right! It's better than yours!
Damn Right! It's better than yours!
She could teach you but she'd have to charge.
//It had to be done!
I flew out of Lambert for Thanksgiving... I am outraged by the TSA... They didnt touch me! They didnt X-ray me! They didnt open my bag! I didnt even get a random screening at the gate!
I paid the same airport tax as Cynthia... where was my constitution shreding, pro-talaban, violation of privacy momnet?
That article was so witty and awesome I can't possibly comment sufficiently.... I loved it!
Hmmm wonder how she explains the "International" part in the "St Louis Lambert International Airport" name. Nevermind - trying to apply logic to that twit is a waste of time
she is a rep of mo. and doesnt even know that her airport is international?
wonder if she knows there is a arch?
To the loon:
1) There is already greater scrutiny of those with one-way tickets. There has been for years. It's common knowledge, such that terrorists-to-be would never buy anything but a round-trip ticket.
2) St. Louis does indeed have an international airport. Given her worldliness, I'm shocked (shocked, I say!) that she's never used it to visit other parts of this great planet of ours.
3) I guaran-damn-tee you she was either metal-detected, scanned, or patted down in DC. That's what they do.
