I had one who wanted to do the explosives swab on my laptop bag for some reason. I asked him to change gloves, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a wad of gloves and some candy wrappers. I asked for glove out of the box, he called his supervisor and said I was “hostile.”
The supervisor came over and asked what the problem was. I explained, they called the Airport Police over. The cop asked what the problem was and I explained, the TSA “officer” concurred. The cop told them to get gloves form the box. They tested it, it came back negative and threw my bag on the table. I asked the supervisor for their boss, some suit came over. I explained the situation and was told they couldn’t comment on how I was treated as the was “a classified procedure for scanning potentially explosive items” and walked off.
And they wonder why they are treated like the enemy. Because they are!
Yea this sounds like how I was treated.
They are clearly under orders to try and get people upset so they can slap the cuffs on you.
My yahoo pulled me out of the line for a wand probe. I lifted my arms and he says “I didn’t tell you to lift your arms”
