Put Down the Sippy Cup and No One Gets Hurt
If Andy Warhol was alive today, I believe he'd reevaluate his most famous observation, "In the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutes." Yep, I think he'd call for a rewrite, "In the future everyone will be videotaped for 15 minutes."
Truth be told, being videotaped unwittingly is one of my more reasonable fears. There you are singing show tunes in the HOV lane, or returning a dried-out scone to the breakfast buffet line when someone records it for viewing on five continents on countless computers.
This week the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) released video footage of a woman who claimed she was hassled by the TSA Officers at Washington’s Reagan National Airport over a sippy cup. (I could undertand the concern if she was brandishing a Super Gulp.)
There’s no escaping the camera. Did she toss the liquid or did it accidentally spill. Well that’s for you to decide. (I think Mommy may have received a TSA time-out.)
