Beware, transgender travelers! The Department of Homeland Security has identified men who dress as women as a potential security risk. In its latest press release, the DHS says that terrorists may use ?novel methods? to evade detection. In particular, ?Male bombers may dress as females in order to discourage scrutiny.?

This means that anyone who is obviously transgender is going to be a major target for searches and harrassment. It also may increase public fear of TG people. But most of all, it seems slightly ludicrous: obviously, whoever thought crossdressing would ?discourage scrutiny? hasn?t talked to too many trannies.
