   This is for those people you shared maybe a few seconds or even minutes with, and never saw again, but still sometimes think about.
   
   
   I'm used to being searched at airports, for whatever reason (probably because I'm Mexican) and they pulled me aside to this TSA agent who was for sure in his 20's. Big hipster moustache. He looks at the screen, and I'm half expecting to get another strip test done on my Crouton/nootropics, but nope. He looks intently at the screen and asks, "Is that a harmonica?"
   
   I wonder for a second what a harmonica looks like on the TSA scanners.
   
   I tell him that it is and he just smiles and says "Awesome".
   
   And passes me along.
   
   Having been searched/pulled aside on maybe 80% of my flights so far, this was pretty fucking sweet. I will always remember him for his smile, how quickly he passed me along, and how relieved I was that I wouldn't have to be searched further. TSA agents are usually so fucking unhappy and upset seeming, and this was one of the only happy dudes I'd ever seen. It was nice.

   on the flip side, consider what kind of an abhorrent person would enjoy looking at boomer penises through a grainy scanner readout all day

   They don't actually look at the body scans there. It's in a separate room, for 'privacy' or whatever. I guess so the guy passing you through can't oggle at how big your penistits are underneath your sweater.
   
   Frankly tho they pay pretty well. I'd do it if the airport was closer to where I lived. People in the city near me (chicago) can just take the train to get to the airport so that's probably why there's a buncha niggerinos working there
