$11,000 fine, arrest possible for some who refuse airport scans and pat downs
SunSentinel.com ^ | 11/20/10 | John Lantigua

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is warning that any would-be commercial airline passenger who enters an airport checkpoint and then refuses to undergo the method of inspection designated by TSA will not be allowed to fly and also will not be permitted to simply leave the airport.

That person will have to remain on the premises to be questioned by the TSA and possibly by local law enforcement. Anyone refusing faces fines up to $11,000 and possible arrest.

"Once a person submits to the screening process, they can not just decide to leave that process," says Sari Koshetz, regional TSA spokesperson, based in Miami.

Looks like TSA’s goons are daring the American people to say “NO” to their molestation.

The TSA should be defunded by our new Congress and replaced with the Israeli model for airport security.

I do not understand why you just cannot leave. Having to pay a fine is ridiculous.

What’s the difference between the TSA and the IRS - the name...Both can rob you without proof you did something wrong.

That part actually makes a little sense. If someone gets part way thru screening & then decides to flee the scene, I think that merits a bit of investigating.

I’m told that this fine has always been in place, but never enforced. Tho, that apparently is going to be changing now.

*** I do not understand why you just cannot leave. Having to pay a fine is ridiculous. ***

Note that the article says “some” may have to pay the fine. They want to be sure that you feel threatened enough to comply with their procedures. This admin never seems to learn. When faced with resistance from Americans, Obama’s crew always doubles down and bullies the populace.

Wasn't it the liberals who were raising hell about having their "rights trampled" when Bush instituted "Homeland Security"?

The obama mob has taken a precautionary measure to visions of NAZI Germany with this crap.

The fine is not new. It’s just never been enforced before.

“We have to ensure that each person getting on every flight is secure,” Pistole said.

The only thing that’s not “secure” is the mobster in the white house and his legion of accomplises destroying the safety and security of America. Secure the borders,, throw out all the undocumented and search anyone coming or going that is from a sharia complient nation and we will be “secure”

"The TSA should be defunded by our new Congress and replaced with the Israeli model for airport security."

Have you ever flown into or out of Ben Gurion on El AL? Do you have any idea how intrusive those interrogations are?

Where are you going, who are you visiting, why are you visiting them, do you like Israel, why are you angry etc, Are you Muslim, are your parents Muslim, etc, etc.

How is an interrogation - with no right to refuse to answer - any less a violation of an aggressive pat-down (that are also done to people using the "Israeli method")?

Does the federal government have the right to ask you who you're visiting and why when you're traveling from NYC to Indianapolis? No need to answer, I already know that you do because you have vigorously endorsed the "Israeli Method".

It will be interesting to see how the air passenger protest scheduled for 11/24/10 turns out.
