"hidden a small child" haha. I am male, but have long brown curly brown hair that I usually have held back with a hairband... and it's poofy like a big curly afro... and EVERY time the TSA pulls me out to pat it down. So annoying.<br /><br />At least I'm not the only one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-26083714298612088022013-06-04T14:38:58.240-05:002013-06-04T14:38:58.240-05:00Thank you +Pamela Merritt for writing this post, a...Thank you +Pamela Merritt for writing this post, and thanks to everyone who shared their experiences in the comments.

I am firmly in favor of letting people wear their natural hair, whatever color they are. Stereotyping those with locks is some bullshit. <br /><br />And as a disabled person... yeah, the pat-downs are offensive. But lately I'm so starved for ahem, attention of a certain kind, love in the oven, etc. that I remember hoping that my patting-down officer would at least be cute. Sigh. Good Lord.

It's ridiculous and I don't even have "big" hair. Also ridiculous because it is clearly not a TSA protocol seeing as I've spent a lot of time in airports in the last few 5 years and had locs or an afro the entire time.
