    Those of us who have asked to avoid the cancer box and been subjected to a subjectively punitive pat-down and fashion show experience are already anticipating just that. Yay!

    (And for added fun, call it a cancer box. Wow, when you get that one TSA who only has bad days will you get a great speech as well)
