About Me
- Name: Jennifer Abel
Jennifer Abel is an American writer who began her career in print media three minutes before the Internet killed the industry. After starting at a small Connecticut daily she moved to the Hartford Advocate, an alt-weekly where her journalistic coups included infiltrating a Furries convention and working on a phone sex line (which fired her six hours later). Since then she’s written for, or been reprinted in, dozens of print and web outlets, including Playboy, the Guardian, Salon, AlterNet, Mashable, the Daily Dot and pretty much every website with the words "cannabis" or "legalize it" in the title. Once, when she was young and naïve and needed the money, she unwittingly edited SEO copy for a spammer. However, in light of the spambot comments she’s deleted from her own blogs since then, she figures she’s more than repaid that particular karmic debt. Jennifer is currently looking for professional, non-spam writing jobs; interested editors are enthusiastically invited to e-mail her.

Hope your blood pressure has receded after verbal duel with MAM on CIF. Incessant ridicule of TSA makes for great You Tube viewing, wheelchair-bound woman with bleached blond hair, black lingerie, pearl necklace, and white poodle presents a striking (and hilarious) figure at OK airport: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTH-n3JK7Dw.
Other internet searches show info that the woman had a trace of “nitrate” on her and was denied flying privilege, another site says she posed for Playboy in '97, another that she was a dentist whose license was revoked. You've written several CIF commentaries about TSA which may or may not contribute to changes there—would suggest that, as a last resort, you could team up with this lady in similar attire and try to board an airliner together. If nothing else it would be terrific material for another story. Seriously, I don't think any public security organization can ignore all this bad publicity. They'll have to try to counteract it with more than their routine, self-serving web site.
