Last Saturday, Kahler Nygard took a Spirit Airlines flight to Denver to visit with friends. When he departed from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, Transportation Security Administration agents patted him down and allowed him to board his flight. When the plane landed, he was singled out and ordered to exit before the other passengers. After he exited the aircraft, TSA agents approached Nygard and demanded that he go through an additional pat-down and a screening of his luggage for explosive materials.
He had already arrived safely at his destination in Denver and simply wanted to leave the airport. After an argument, which can be seen in the above video, Nygard refused the pat-down, despite the fact that TSA agents claimed that he would be arrested if he did not comply, and exited the airport without incident. According to KMSP-TV Fox 9 News, Nygard flew back to Minnesota yesterday without any complications.
KUSA-TV notes that Nygard indicated that he knew that he had been placed on the FBI’s “no fly” list around three years ago, despite not being told why, and took the flight to Denver in an effort to see if he was still on the list. However, he was apparently downgraded to a lower-level watch list that labeled him as a “Quad S” passenger. Passengers carrying the label “SSSS” on their boarding pass are forced to undergo additional scrutiny during TSA pre-flight screenings. Nygard says he believes he was placed on the list because he posted on anti-government websites, but describes his own advocacy as being against government corruption, rather than the government itself.
The plot thickened when TSA agents working at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport started forgetting the extra checks on Quad S passengers.

Eff the TSA
Darned 4th Amendment advocates are ruining our Homeland Security!
Antigovernment web sites. Hmmmm
Yea that takes balls.
Even when the LEOs are wrong you can’t beat the ride, and that sucks.
Glad it worked out for him after standing his ground.
Fly dressed in a burqa and wave an ISIS flag and no one will bother you.
Had my drama with those clowns. Their best luck is that I’m not President. I’d contract it out like pre-911. They would do a better job.
I will do almost anything to avoid flying.....I hate what this country is becoming...I guess I’m too old and remember much simpler times.
Good for him and kudos with your post.
The bad guys won on 9-11-01.
We surrendered the Fourth Amendment....more to follow.
TSA: “I’m not going to argue the process.”
Stuff your process. You missed your chance and now nobody cares about your process but you. You have no law enforcement power as you just admitted you pathetic tinhorn tub stacker.
Individuals known to pose a threat to aviation who are on this list will not be issued a boarding pass and are not allowed to fly. If an individual has received a boarding pass, he or she is not on the No Fly List.” they why are then allowed to BUY A TICKET???
that is beyond stooopid... then again it's the federal government so i digress
Maybe the TSA can just have us wear yellow stars of David.
“they why are then allowed to BUY A TICKET??? “
I think anybody can buy/receive a ticket. To get a boarding pass one has to show ID.
Fortunately, I have never posted to a website that is critical of the government.
