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.

I SAY WE ALLOW ARMED PASSENGERS ON THE PLANES...

and skip the nonsense.

In other words - you think it is fine and dandy to force people to submit to having nude pictures taken, or having their intimate zones violated in public, just because they don’t want to pose for a nude picture or have their intimate zones groped?

Your apologia for the TSA is getting old.
