Yet another story of our wonderful TSA saving us from terrorists.

This whole organization is an astounding waste of taxpayer money.

They are an amphibious force.

They are considered "amphibious" because they come under the department of the Navy. Marines can fly pretty well too.

Surprising that the Marine wasn’t searched by a bearded muzzie TSA goon wearing a kufi cap.

I’m convinced that those TSA screws hate the military, especially the returning wounded heroes. Makes them look even more like the spiteful little wannabe dictators they are.

Why wouldn’t he?
Dress Blues are for special occasions. If he wasn't going directly to the awards ceremony, he could have worn his summer service uniform.

True, they are the Men's Department.

My dad was Navy UDT during WWII and left signs on the beaches “welcoming” the Marines ashore, you saying he wasn’t from a “Men’s Department”?

Not at all, if you had served in the Navy, you would have recognized the setup and the tee shot. It is a very common conversation between squids and jarheads. I doubt your father would have objected.

This story just pissed me off. It is time to revamp the TSA, fire the idiots (including Napalitano) and start using common-sense profiling. Marine Cpl Kemnitz deserves a formal apology and our thanks.

No he would not and would have joined in I’m sure. He had many stories about how they would ride the Marine contingent on the ships and call them “sea-going bell hops”. All in good nature I’m sure.

Dress blues are a liberty uniform designated for any occasion while off duty.
