Lingerie-Clad Woman Who Protested TSA Pat-Downs At OKC Airport Banned From Flying (Video)

Posted by HAL9000 on December 30, 2010

Banned From FlyingI say the reason she was/is banned is because it’s a frakin’ Cylon! These are not the movement of a human being.

But this time she was wearing all her clothes, so … via NewsOn6:

OKLAHOMA CITY — The woman who made national headlines for her near-naked protest at the airport in Oklahoma City is back and once again banned from flying. A YouTube video put Tammy Banovac in the national spotlight. Banovac says she went through security wearing next-to-nothing, to protest new security rules at airports nationwide. Banovac was back at the Will Rogers Airport Tuesday and once again, security says she can’t board her flight back home to Phoenix.

Woman Strips Down to Her Lingerie, Gets TSA Pat Down Anyway (Video)

Posted by HAL9000 on December 10, 2010

C’mon, it’s obvious why she was questioned … she’s a frakin’ Cylon! Jesus Diaz writes on Gizmodo:

This bombshell wearing just black lace, a pearl necklace and a white dog is Tammy Banovac, a retired surgeon in a wheelchair. She got down to her lingerie while going through airport security and still got a pat down. (Update: Turns out that Tammy Banovac posed naked for Playboy in 1997, when she was a dental surgeon in Oklahoma, under her maiden name Tammy Lynn Brewer.)

Dr. Banovac always refuses to go through the metal detector. She has to use a metal wheelchair and that means that she always gets a pat down no matter what. Lately, she says she feels violated because the pat downs have become increasingly invasive during the last few months. “If it happened anywhere else, it would have been sexual assault,” she declared to a local newspaper.

Surprise Sex/Tech Issues in Battlestar Galactica Prequel

CapricaIn a new interview, the executive producer of the SyFy channel’s Caprica admits some roles were written without even knowing whether the characters were female or male. “We write a lot of our roles with no gender assigned — or rather, we pick one but tell casting to bring in everyone, and then rewrite if needed to fit the performer. I love doing that, since it ensures that you’re not writing to any subconscious gender expectations…

The new Battlestar Galactica prequel will reveal the technology of “the Bill Gates of Caprica”, promises the show’s producer, while also highlighting technology’s uneven distribution.

“If you look at the tech that ordinary people have access to in the shows, you’ll see rotary phones, console radios, big CRT monitors, clunky answering machines…one of the things that’s happening on Caprica is this inequity of access to the latest advancements…”
