Ugh!! Nothing worse than a 7 AM flight getting behind someone with smelly feet!
I had major foot surgery about 8 years ago.
My foot had over 100 stiches and one of our adult sons called it Frankin Foot from the pictures.
I have enough metal screws and gear in that foot be an Ace Hardware ad.
Also, it sets off any metal detectors.
So the TSA people and I have a lot of fun with my Frankin Foot!
:D
Because they might have a bomb in their underwear.
To make us pay money and submit to fingerprinting for Pre-Check, turning our God-given right to travel in our own country without harassment into a “privilege” we have to beg from our betters. Just like they do with concealed carry permits and, frankly, driver’s licenses.
And yes, I have all three.
What film was that?
Great idea - let’s turn the US into a police state and we can eliminate threats!
Because if they’re not a pedophile or a gerontophile, they have a foot fetish.
Just what I was thinking. Imagine the millions of free prostate exams the TSA will have to administer every year, until people start to complain and just drive, instead. And I bet more than a few TSA agents will be in the ‘I’ll take your word for it’ group and let them through, anyway.
I’m not really sure what they are trying to accomplish.
Whatever substance can be put in a shoe can be swallowed or inserted into the transverse colon.
If it is a design problem with the circular booth scanner, they could put a wooden floor into the scanner that a passenger could step on.
um, the shoe bomber?
My husband and I are traveling to Israel on El Al soon. They profile everybody prior to boarding at the gate area
Muslims are exempt
I’ve never found the TSA people and their UK counterparts I dealt with unprofessional.
I’ve only flown four times since 2001.
Instead we are installing foot baths in washrooms for muslims
One already did it in England.
and a passenger in flight in America tried to set his explosive laden underwear on fire
He was called the fruit of the boom bomber
setting off silent killers.
I have similar experiences with TSA. The process is hectic, disorganized and confusing. It doesn’t have to be. I recently returned from Germany. They were both more organized and more thorough. No yelling, no misdirections.
