The TSA is why I gave up flying.
I will not submit.
I don’t fly because if I were faced with being groped or being hauled of to jail by refusing I would believe it was my fault for putting myself in a situation where those would be my choices.
I did fly after 911 but as TSA has tightened its grip upon vacationing Americans I am more and more reluctant, my last flight was 4 years ago in a large group I didn’t want to disappoint.
My father died 1,544 miles (by air) from home while on vacation with my mother. I was the only “child” able to leave my job to help our mother with the details etc. in a reasonable amount of time.
Perhaps you would have taken the train? Perhaps you would have bicycled.
“Will not submit” is a pretty boastful statement. I am as independent as anyone, but sometimes you have to do what you must.
I’m still mortified and thoroughly disgusted at how the TSA treats everyone EXCEPT muslims.
