I'm not a fan of TSA, they strike me as bullies. Now, having said that, I will also say that this woman's account seems overly dramatic and over-the-top. She's a member of a teachers' union, I imagine. I'm not eager to side with her either. Democrats lie.
You're jumping to conclusions here by assuming she's a Dem and assuming she's lying.
After seeing some of the other accounts of the TSA in action, I'm inclined to believe her story.
your right...if she's in a teachers union she should be strip searched for stupidity.....
I'm guessing she embellished this story a bit but never underestimate the cluelessness of a minimum wage security guard.
"She's a member of a teachers' union, I imagine. I'm not eager to side with her either. Democrats lie."
Thank you!
You're jumping to conclusions here. In most states, teachers are forced to be members of the union although many despise it. In this case, the 'teacher' is a principal - generally seen by the union as part of the opposition administration.
My wife is a teacher and forced member of the union, but she often rallies her fellow teachers to fight the union and many do.
Too much about this story that simply doesn't add up.
1. What teacher/administrator prepares sandwiches for students on a school trip? And why did she need 3 knives?
2. A five and a half inch Bread knife? I've never had a bread knife that small. And why the detail about a rounded tip? I know it gives the appearance of a less dangerous weapon, but why was it provided to the reporter? I mean of all the things you'd be saying about your "ordeal" is that one of the important ones?
3. She sure seemed ready for a confrontation. "What about my constitutional rights?" Requesting all sorts of documentation...not that that's a bad idea, but many people in that situation can be confused. She's a pretty fast thinker, UNLESS, she had thought about this situation before hand.
4. On the trip home, screeners with the Transportation Security Administration at Los Angeles International Airport found it deep in the outside pocket of a carry-on cooler.
So why wasn't it found on the outbound trip. Xray equipment doesn't care if it was "deep inside" something.
5. "This is not the way my country should be treating me," she said. My concern is that if that's the way they're treating American citizens I would hate to think how they're treating other people. It's crazy." It looks like she went into the airport prepared for a confrontation.
She sounds like a trouble maker who is thinking lawsuit or wanted some ammo for the leftwing to attack the homeland security laws. I'd love to know her politics (and if she were a conservative, I'm sure the article would have told me).
You are exactly right. Demo-commie got caught and should be held accountable. Maybe she thought as a member of a "teachers union", rules did not apply to her, but only the uneducated. NSNR
