Outrageous!
TSA is going over the top on PC refusal to properly profile likely terrorists. Because of this decision, the actions of TSA crews, especially those prone to abuse of authority, will increasingly escalate in their disregard for 4th amendment rights.
That said, this “victim”, Meg McLain, is no innocent. A cursory check into her background as a “blogger” and “film maker” reveals substantial links to “Free Keene” radio. The blog on which she posts is loaded with anarchistic video confrontations with local police and EMT/Fire Department crews, “street theater”, graffiti on war memorials, and other dubious activity. Blogs with titles like “The Peace, Freedom, and Pro$perity Movement” are indicative of the anarcho-leftist tripe that populates McLain’s resume. Her trip to Florida itself was a mission to film similar antics. This incident has the look and smell of an experienced agent-provacateur.
TSA is wrong and bullying in its over reach at airport security checkpoints. That policy deserves rebuke. Meg “Smeg” McLain as victim?...not so much.
