Hey, if you want to professionalize, you need to federalize.

Just one more reason why I no longer fly unless I am dragged to the plane kicking and screeming.

If not a bomb they could have been loaded.

Yup, nothing more dangerous than a wheel chair-bound 83-year old.

Those are the target of choice for easy searches by the TSA boneheads.

""You'd better change your attitude. Or do you want me to make it so you don't fly today?""

I'd have been hollering for her damn superviosr right then & there.

This happened because YOU allow it to happen!

If you were there and witnessed this happening, would you have been brave enough to stand up and say NO!

Since you are not willing to defend what you know is right, people like this 83 year old woman was harassed by our government.

Each and every one of you should be ashamed, if you failed to stand up and say NO!

Flying is no longer Plan A for my business trips. I only consider flying is I absolutely cannot make a road trip work out for the individual circumstances.

I'm so grateful to Norm Mineta and TSA for keeping us safe from this potential terrorist.

Typical power-crazed bonehead in a job of authority. This is the reason I choose to not fly any more.

TSB the best and brightest--NOT. The nimrods they hire are just plain scarey. People who have never had (and should never have) a lick of authority in their life, and now can't wait to use it. I fly all the time in my job and when one of them strikes me as professional I note it--shows how little it happens--its noteable.

but the screener shot back, "You'd better change your attitude. Or do you want me to make it so you don't fly today?"

Ah, the professionalism of federal employees.

But, when you stood behind a woman like this, and watched her being searched by our government, you were afraid AFRAID to say something.

There is a word for that: COWARD!

No wonder it costs so much money for security, and then it doesn't make us any more safe.

Keep your powder dry- These TSA A*&holes should all be fired and replaced with our "guest workers". Wait a minute- I think they already were.

Give someone a little authority and they act little with their authority.....

90% of the TSA Ex-Spurts miss the obvious....
