...And then came the most ridiculous scene of which I’ve ever been a part. I gather my things – jacket, scarf, hat, briefcase, chocolates. We walk over to the staff entrance and he scans his badge to let me through. We walk down the long hallway that led back to the baggage claim area. We skip the escalators and moving walkways. As we walk, there are TSA officials stationed at apparent checkpoints along the route. As we pass them, they form part of the circle that is around me. By the end of the walk, I count 13 TSA officials and 2 uniformed police officers forming a circle around me. We reach the baggage claim area, and everyone stops at the orange line. The Supervisor grunts, “Have a nice day,” and leaves.

In order to enter the USA, I was never touched, I was never “Backscatted,” and I was never metal detected. In the end, it took 2.5 hours, but I proved that it is possible.

They have no controlling legal authority. Only intimidation of the Sheeple.

This was AFTER he flew, got OFF the plane, and AFTER he went through customs- just to walk back into the aiport to get his baggage AND GO home!!!

Now you get groped or irradiated when you get OFF the plane and want to go home????

TSA is out of control.

We strip-Xray and/or molest people getting off a plane but NEVER inspect any cargo coming into our ports? Something seems bass-ackward here. Perhaps its just me.

Union President John Gage called for more information on the searches including leaflets for passengers.

He said: 'TSA must act now — before the Thanksgiving rush — to ensure that TSOs are not being left to fend for themselves.'


Yes, Mr. Gage, the problem is obviously the ignorance of the flying public, not the procedures themselves. They just need to be informed that the 4th Amendment doesn't apply to air travellers.

The Supervisor grunts, “Have a nice day,” and leaves.

He was fortunate. Americans who complain about the TSA or these procedures are apparently now called "domestic extremists:"

DHS and TSA - making a list, checking it twice

Snip: (referring to what appears to be an administrative directive):

It labels any person who “interferes” with TSA airport security screening procedure protocol and operations by actively objecting to the established screening process, “including but not limited to the anticipated national opt-out day”  as a “domestic extremist.” The label is then broadened to include “any person, group or alternative media source” that actively objects to, causes others to object to, supports  and/or elicits support for anyone who engages in such travel disruptions at U.S. airports in response to the enhanced security procedures.

It's the solution that millions of American airline passengers have been searching for - how to avoid bodyscanners and intrusive pat-downs when they fly.

It's simple: get elected.
