Re: Another TSA travesty
I love stories like this. It shows the absurdity of the entire TSA organization. I feel bad that the woman had to be embarrassed like this.
When you add in the parking + TSA line on both sides of the trip + TSA aggravation +bag fees + loss of connectivity to your business while in the air, I think it only makes sense to fly on trips where the drive is 10+hrs.

Re: Another TSA travesty
TSA stories like this are an everyday thing and will be as long as we allow them to exist.

After the way I was treated about my prosthetic arm and leg by the idiot agent with prison tat sleeves, fuck em. I'll never fly again unless it's out of the country.

Re: Another TSA travesty
I don't fly. It's so aggravating it's an issue with my heart condition.
Because of my paceaker, I'm always automatically subjected to the infamous patdown.
I don't mind the process, I mind the time it takes while they get me ready, then preen and explain every step so solicitously as they try impress me with their importance.
Last time, I told the guy to just skip the sermon and get it done. Dumb sumbitch called for his Supervisor; another five minutes in the penalty box.
We went down to Disney two weeks ago. We drove. Four adults, two teens, and a shreiking two year-old shoehorned into a Grand Caravan Crew for three days, two nights each way was preferable to that airline dog and pony show. And have you looked at what they're charging for the insult lately?
Between the Arabs sucking us dry for the oil, and the TSA playing whack-a-mole with a microscope trying to find other, slightly different quasi Arab loonies, it's a wonder the entire Middle East isn't already reduced to a glass parking lot. Honestly, the only problem with getting oil from the Middle East is the kiss-my-ass archaic morons who are squatting atop it all. They need re-educating regarding their true importance in the world order. I see neutrons in their future; not much else would seem to be an adequate means of addressing the situation at its root cause. Just call it tough love gone postal.
Religious tolerance my rosy red butt; I've had it with everyone and his Mullah insisting I live my life in complete harmony with whatever dogma they're selling this week. Try the next guy, maybe he'll give a...^%#$.
Ask me about this again tomorrow, maybe then I'll tell you how I <span style="font-style: italic">really</span> feel about it...

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out -- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out --Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out --Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me -- and there was no one left to speak for me.

Re: Another TSA travesty
Greg, history repeats itself, that's the point I'm trying to get across.
Ceding personal liberty is far more dangerous than some imaginary Islamic Bogeyman.
All of these safeguards are constructed to make folks live in fear, and demand "security".
TSA, contrary to advertised intent, has little if anything to do with providing security.
It saddens me to say it, but conditioning people to surrender their rights has clearly been a successful tactic.
Cavalierly surrendering individual rights is something I take very seriously.
That slippery slope is far more real and dangerous than any concocted terrorist threat.
You're more likely to be killed by champagne cork or falling coconut than killed by a Terrorist.
I just wish people would stop living in fear and realize the real agenda being implemented.
$8 billion+ a year for the TSA's budget, and all you've got is less rights and no more security than prior to their creation.

Yeah we are almost at that bottomless pit that is at the bottom of that slippery slope.

How anyone can get anything past the scanners
Just in today, here's an eye opener for those who're still buying the "security" narrative.

Learn to fly, I drive to airport and load misc. firearms in plane, take off. There is a list of places I can't land but none are to close.

You think it's limited to the airport? Think again.

How about a highway truck stop?

<span style="font-style: italic">Interestingly enough, as TSA officials like to routinely point out, their agency’s acronym stands for Transportation Security Administration, not the Airport Security Administration. This fact has extended the TSA’s reach has far beyond the confines of our nation’s airports. Many of my constituents discovered this first hand this past fall as those familiar blue uniforms and badges appeared on Tennessee highways. In October Tennessee became the first state to conduct a statewide Department of Homeland Security Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR) team operation which randomly inspected Tennessee truck drivers and cars.</span>

It's amazing the rights we allow the government to take away from us. One day the country will wake up and realize that all of the rights we take for granted are gone.

Re: Another TSA travesty
The last time I flew, my mouthwash bottle was confiscated for being too large a container. I thought this funny, since I flew three times prior with that same bottle, and not a word was said about the butane lighter I picked up off the tray and put back in my pocket.
