Slog - Comments on The Laaand of the Freeeeeee! http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/the_laaand_of_the_freeeeeee You might think that security guards at U.S. federal buildings would be pretty much immune to offensive words and images by now, what with all those pictures of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney that have been hanging in the lobbies of our federal buildings for seven long years now. But you would be wrong: A woman wearing a T-shirt promoting lesbianism said she was forced the leave a federal building Monday by a security guard who didn't approve of her attire. Lapriss Gilbert said she was picking up a Social Security card for her son when the guard was...

I'm guessing she was using it as a rhetorical device, not as a literal statement of fact. Just a hunch.

They can't stand a single joke about women, they're insanely easy to piss off, they cannot be reasoned with (if you're a male) and they're just, simply put, mega cunts. And most of them are FAT. Ugh!

Security guards should stay away from trying to supress the 1st Amendment and stick to wishing they were cops. If I were the family of that dancer I would get an independednt lab to test for drugs with new samples from the body. It is surprising how many law enforcement labs contaminate specimens by improper handling. many have been closed or placed under strict oversight by judicial injunction in the past several years.
