Step right up, Ladies and Gents!
Now, in addition to all it’s other fine services, Toronto’s Pearson airport is proud to offer Secure Strapping –
for the stressed traveling spanko on the go.
It appears as though the strapping is given with those nylon buckle-y things that some people use to tie their suitcases shut. I’m not sure how this feels, but imagine it’s gotta be pretty intense.
There’s a nice man in a suit (which means that he knows what he’s doing) standing directly under the sign, and there’s a little clear plexiglass booth off to the side where I guess the advertised service takes place. Not much privacy, but I guess when you gotta have a good strapping any old plexiglass box will do.
I stood by for around twenty minutes, but there weren’t any takers. The little man in the suit looked disappointed, too, as I’m sure he’d rather be strapping than just standing around. Shame, really, as that would’ve made for a very interesting photo…and maybe I’d have had a better understanding of just what they intend to do with the buckle end of that thing.
So there you have it, folks. The next time you’re stopping over at Pearson airport and need a little Secure Strapping – you’re in luck!
(Please ask someone standing nearby to take a photo.)

This is too funny. I love your sense of humor, Ms. Kane. I don’t think I’ll be going to Toronto any time soon, but it may be that a good strapping hasn’t caught on just yet. It would be a good idea to open up franchises at every airport as strapping becomes more popular.
Sounds like a dream experience for voyeurs and exhibitionists alike! :)
I wonder if you’d have pulled out your arsenal of straps if the nice suited man would have bent over and bared! :)
Some mistresses have a website with a section called interests or whatever they have named their “menu.” Perhaps this could be a new listing for some of them . . . “secured strapping” . . .
