I did a bit of searching and didn't see this one(search on homebound, Terrorist, brother, etc., even googled Site results). It's a bit over a week old, so Mods please spike it if duplicate.

The fact that "Thousands Standing Around" detained a Marine really infuriates me, specially considering his UNIT was right there. Gunpowder on his boot and now he's a permanent member of the TSA watch list. Gee, a marine, with gun powder on his boot. Whodathunkit!

Homeland Security is a mess. They can't secure our airports, ports and borders and deport illegal aliens. But they can keep decorated Marines and 83 year old grandmothers from flying. They bring a whole new meaning to the term, "public service."

And some people want the government to run everything?

I've seen this happen!

On a night with bad weather I and others had to scramble to get where we we going. I bought a full-fare, one-way ticket home (like those stupid terrorists who cannot plan ahead) which entitled my to a free rectal exam. (Couldn't they have just asked me for my drivers' license and seen that I was indeed traveling home on a Friday night?) Another who received a full recal examination that night was a Marine in full dress uniform carrying travel orders.

What schmucks we are!

Reminds me of what they did to Joe Foss.

This is odd at many levels.

Military in uniform and on orders aren't supposed to be searched. Period.

Then I've had a bag that popped positive on the swab tests due to exposure to the elements in Iraq. All they did was re check it, call a supervisor and perform a hand search. Then I was free to fly. No problems since then domestically or internationally.

So why would a Marine get pulled out and detained? Something isn't right with this story.

Everyone who feels more secure with the TSA in charge of airport security please raise your hands.
