a study in creeping jack.

My bro Maya and I were going through security, leaving Cleveland after surgery. All our carry-on baggage, laptops, shoes, jackets, scarves, little nerdy pins, small change, etc. were separated out, placed in tubs and sent through the scanner. The sleeves of my shirt are rolled to the elbow, and I am still wearing my hospital bracelet. We were sent to a separate scanner - not a metal detector or an X-ray scanner, but a millimetre wave scanner. I don’t really mind - this happened on the way here, and electromagnets are cool.

I was there, I watched this go down. I wanted to fucking smack the lady who pulled him aside. She definitely looked more and more disappointed as things came up clean. Poking and prodding a surgery patient, who has been more than forthcoming, is disgusting. Everything about it was.

May write more when I’m not so angry and can write something intelligent.
