No, if you want to be left alone - do not violate a Security Check Point. When an alarm trips (as in the case with Grandma) - she needs to be checked out first. Injecting others is a known method for bypassing security and creating choas.
If you don’t want to go through security, fine ... drive, take a bus, train or bike.
I like to fly, I fly approximately 2-3 trips a month for the past several years - security is not that big of a deal. It takes all of 1 minute to x-ray my baggage, and 3 seconds to scan me. I OFTEN get a pat-down following the microwave scan because I wear a T-shirt under my shirt, and boxers under my pants. 15 seconds for a quick pat - and I’m on my way.
If this is too much for you to bear ... then drive. The TSA has a job to do, they are under constant criticism, and they operate in plain sight of everyone who passes through security, as well as everyone who has passed through.
Parents, control your children. If they make this mistake, it takes 30 seconds to correct; but if the parents create a scene, then it’s a huge mess. But, like it or not; security WILL be done for the safety of everyone.
Again, if you don’t like it - I suggest you drive your car.

Maybe you just like the pat-downs ...

Ever read the 4th Amendment, it says “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
These are unreasonable searches. How many terrorists have the TSA caught? I’ll tell you, NONE. NOT ONE. They’ve all been caught by other passengers after they’ve been through security. Oh, I’ll admit the TSA is great at finding 3-1/2 ounces of fluid instead of the allowed 3 ounces or fluid in a gallon bag instead of a quart bag. They are great at groping women and children and stealing your property but they are absolutely useless as far as making you safe.
Remember, “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” - Benjamin Franklin. You obviously deserve neither.
“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Benjamin Franklin
Perhaps you are not aware that soon you will not be able to drive, take a bus, board an airplane or a train without a Federal Identification card. Delaware already has such a system. I refuse to give them the documents they require (marriage license, birth certificate, etc.), so my license is marked “Not for Federal Identification”. Papers, please.
Don’t know about you, but I was born a free man and i will die as one. I REFUSE to wear chains and bend my knee to any one, save He Who made me.
And what are we to do when the TSA starts doing searches on trains, automobiles, buses and at high school proms? Oh, wait minute! They are already doing that.
“If you don’t want to go through security, fine ... drive, take a bus, train or bike.”
And what will you have people do when the TSA starts doing security for buses, trains and ships?
You are an enabler of our loss of freedom.
All too often when caught doing something irrational or plain stupid, TSA falls back on "following procedures" without us citizens ever know what those procedures are.
Having seen too many “affirmative action positions” filled with uneducated and uncouth persons who know very little about security, I conclude that TSA is a quazi-reparations operation with only secondary emphasis on preventing terrorism.
If we do not find a better way, this will only worsen.
You are pathetic. You make me sick. I am sorry I share a country with your kind.
Oh yeah, by the way, they are rolling this stuff out onto roads, buses, trains and everywhere else.
????? WTF You consider this normal? Just SOP? You consider it normal to be patted down for wearing underwear? Oy vey.
The war is over...they can go home now. Their job is done.
As long as my tax dollars pay for the upkeep and construction of airports etc, I will NOT take a bus or drive...and I will NOT be happy with their gropes and arbitrary rules.
Enough is e-dam-nuff. We are AMERICANS...that USED to mean something.
Wow Hodar, are you sure you are posting at the right place? Nice to know that the TSA can count on sheep like you to grease the skids for their patently illegal activities. Then again, maybe you like to have your johnson fondled.
They will panic if someone carries a butter knife through security but then, once inside the “secure” area, the passenger goes to TGIF and orders a steak and gets a REAL knife and with a little switch can carry it on-board.
Even better. . .if in First Class they GIVE you a steel knife and steel fork when serving your meal.
So much for vigilant TSA keeping us safe.
Oh, and who can forget the dozens of TSA dolt's that are child predators and thief's.
Look, I fly over 150K a year and most of it is international. No one in the WORLD is as incompetent as TSA. No. One.
TSA is NOTHING MORE than security kabuki theater for the ignorant and the sheep of society. . .you know, the ones that think “Oh, boy, look at this. . .we are sooooooo safe because TSA is groping a 4-yr old and an 89-yr old Swedish grandmother using a walker." And, TSA gropes and puts through extra “security” wounded veterans with prosthetics that set the alarm off. Yeah!! I am so happy to see a wounded hero getting groped and given the evil-eye by some criminal TSA goon that can't get hired to hand out towels at a San Fransisco bathhouse.
Best thing is, TSA hires are given a once-over background check when hired. . .and that background check is no more than what someone working at 7-11 gets.
Makes me feel oh so safe.
Thanks for the advice, comrade.
What a dumb sh**. You deserve to live as a frickin’ slave in a dictatorship. You actually think the TSA was invented for security reasons? It was put into place in order to more thoroughly control American Citizens. They have never stopped even one single terrorist but they have sure as he** violated the rights of many American citizens. If you find nothing wrong with the way they treated this 4 yo child you are truly a brain washed fool.
