Are TSA Pat Downs Becoming Too Invasive?
IWB ^ | Gabrielle Seunagal

Posted on 03/05/2017 7:01:51 PM PST by davikkm

The Transportation Security Administration has recently generated controversy after announcing that more “rigorous” and “comprehensive” pat downs will be occurring in airports across the country. Apparently, TSA has failed at least 95% of airport security tests, in which undercover agents attempted–and succeeded–in smuggling banned weapons through airport checkpoints. However, persons boarding a plane are not the only ones who will be subjected to additional and more random full body pat downs. Employees, flight attendants, crew members, and others will be checked to ensure that no bombs, weapons, explosives, or other prohibited paraphernalia makes its way onto a plane.

Who’s checking the TSA? They’re the ones smuggling dope and stealing i-phones.

Every one of them should be under surveillance and if someone feels they were dealt a “lingering hand” they should be able to press charges. There needs to be background checks and an overhaul of the system now so that travelers are protected against practicing or prospective perverts.

This is a big one to me and the first place I disagree with the Trump Administration. Hassling and humiliating travelers isn’t the answer.

I thought the only good thing they’re good at is yelling at people to take their shoes off and “PLACE THEM IN THE TRAYS..IN THE TRAYS!!”There's a trick they use to keep you off balance. Once they have folks trained to put them in the trays, they'll sometimes yell to not put them in the trays, but to put them directly on the conveyor.

The Krauts do the same thing with a Kindle - if you put it in the tray they tell you 'no'; if you don't put it in the tray, you get a trip to the special room where it, and you, get tested for explosives. And they always tell me to leave my shoes on, then pull me for 'special treatment' when they set off the metal detector.

But I always get even. I frustrate their game by pleasantly thanking them at every step for making sure I have a safe flight.

You’re right. I was hoping the TSA would be reduced, drastically reduced, as Trump says he plans to reduce the EPA. Don’t they have facial recognition software these days, based on the Driver’s ID? So let’s starting putting that to use.
