Are you the kind of person who just can’t travel anywhere without your precious dildo? Well, one such lady is in that position and, after going through security at Newark Airport, she found herself with a cheeky message of support.
A? Transportation Security Administration screener spotted the sex toy inside a bag and decided that they’d offer some encouragement.
Y’know, put a bit of fun into someone’s day? Right? Slightly embarrassing maybe, but ultimately, all in good fun and refreshingly lacking in hang-ups. Right? WRONG. This, of course, is an ABSOLUTE OUTRAGE.
Written on the back of her TSA notice, Jill Filipovic (FRIGapovic more like) saw the message:
?Get your freak on girl?
She tweeted:
?Just unpacked my suitcase and found this note from TSA… Guess they discovered a ‘personal item’ in my bag. Wow.?
?It was a $15 bullet vibe from Babeland, about the most basic sex toy you can imagine. It has now been officially retired, since I have no idea if the TSA agents manhandled it.?
She then wrote on her blog, Feministe, that the message was ?wildly inappropriate? but she ?died laughing? about it in her hotel room.
So she thought it was funny initially? However, she then told FoxNews.com that she’s gone from having a sense of humour about it to being “pretty disturbed” by it all.
Pretty disturbed by a humorous note. Just so you have that clear in your head.
She wrote that she suspects
“whoever left the note felt comfortable doing so (I also suspect that they believed most women would be embarrassed to be “caught” with personal items and wouldn’t file a complaint)”
“That is certainly cause for concern.”
Is anyone else reading this, thinking that the whole complaint is build around the assumption that it’s a man who wrote the note?
Would the tone be any different if it was a woman who was cheering from the sidelines?
FoxNews, who totally wouldn’t blow something like this out of proportion, say that Filipovic will file a complaint with the TSA when she returns to the U.S.

Colonel M says
It sounds inherently written by a woman, or a gay guy maybe, what straight man would write something equivalent to “you go girl”

Would have been funnier if they wrote “Get a boyfriend”
