Washington (CNN) -- Don't like the way airport screeners are doing their job? You might not want to complain too much while standing in line.

Arrogant complaining about airport security is one indicator Transportation Security Administration officers consider when looking for possible criminals and terrorists, CNN has learned exclusively. And, when combined with other behavioral indicators, it could result in a traveler facing additional scrutiny.

10-15 years of this bs and the US will have a whole generation accepting full govt control without question

“And these media people defending them...”

That’s because all these media people are part of the treason... part of the government controlled propaganda machine that is our “press”. You know...the watch dogs of the people—Pffft!! Ha!

I remember reading the TSA is taking names of those who refuse the naked body scanners and putting them into a database, so they know who you are before you get to the airport! Damn TSA goons!

I read where CAIR has instructed moslems how to avoid getting patted down completely. I would guess the TSA avoids checking moslems closely to avoid CAIR’s wrath.

I had that experience. I was getting an early morning flight from Salt Lake City to St. George, Utah. Although it was not even 6:00 AM, the security line was out the door of the airport. When I got inside, the reason was apparent. Exactly one of the 4 or 5 security positions was manned and operating. There were of course TSA people all over the place, mostly "standing around." I asked one female supervisor if she knew the security line was out the door, and she snarled at me to "shut up if you want to fly today." I told her I didn't appreciate the tone or the threat and that I wondered why the TSA wouldn't open a second line when the first was obviously overwhelmed. She pulled another supervisor over and told him she wanted him to witness her telling me that if I said another word to her, I would be thrown out of the airport and not permitted to take my flight. I was, of course then "randomly" selected for secondary screening.

Two weeks before 9/11, on the same Newark-SF flight the terrorists took later, I was swabbed for residue, had my bag opened up and looked at.

I was pregnant, travelling with my husband and three children, a blonde native-born American with a cross around my neck...

Airport security always has its priorities straight.

I haven't flown in seven years, precisely because I know myself well enough to know that I'd wind up saying that TSA was nothing but a make-work program for people whose welfare benefits had been maxed out.

You're not allowed to tell the truth about Eric Holder's people.

As of October it will have been 11 years since I darkened the corridors of an airport. If I cannot get to where I'm going by bus, train (and that's getting iffy, from what I read), or auto, I'm not going.

I resolved long time ago to not be pushed around by some extremely minor government official.

I did....recently. Lol. I was coming back from Arkansas through a small regional airport. They had no scanners, just the walk through x-rays. The gal asked me to take off my sweatshirt before I walked through and I told her no so she motioned me on through. Once I got through she said now I have to pat you down. I started backing up and said.....no you will not! You didn’t tell me that before you motioned me through and you are not going to pat me down now. She looked surprised and said....well can I just do your arms and back? I laughed and said sure. That’s all she did, my arms and back.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The airports are full. The American people are already accepting it without question.

If children attend socialist-funded, collectivist-managed, government schools that are godless, prison-like, compulsory, whose curriculum is dictated by the voting mob ( school boards), the following will happen:

We will have citizens who will fully accept the prison-like treatment found at our modern airports! They will have never learned that their human rights are an endowment from God.

In addition they will think socialism, collectivism , and management of their lives, thoughts, and even their deaths is NORMAL.
