- for a slightly radical political event.

I've had it. If I ever fly commercial again, and they want any more anything from me, I have already decided that I will go full voice [theatre tech here, you'll hear me in Nebraska], take of ALL my clothing, sit down on the floor, and make like King and Ghandi: non-violent non-cooperation.
Enough is enough, and I'm full of them up to HERE.

    Very interesting video. Frankly...I'm shocked at how wrong this screening is. It flies in the face of basic rights and freedoms. These agents won't even tell you they are giving you an order. You'd think the thought would enter their mind, "Maybe we're going into unreasonable territory here." Nope...it's just, "Do as I say and submit to more screening after the fact or the police will be next in line on your ass."

    The fact that the general public takes this kind of thing laying down literally gives me chills.

    What a crock of **** that is. Notice they could not come up with a CFR reg for what they wanted to do, and they only 'requested'.

    I just checked my boarding pass. No "S" on it anywhere except the name Stacy in red. I guess my right knee was patted down just because I flipped off the scanner.

    Soooo his boarding passed was marked with an "S" because he's pro-liberty? How did he get on the 'fly list'? Did TSA call the police, and did they ever contact him? I have questions.

    I flew recently, to Vegas. The TSA in PHX were considerably more polite than the barking hags I encountered in Vegas. People on power trips are despicable.

    Does anyone here even know a TSA goon?
    I for one do not. I have never even met one. Not that I am aware of anyway.

      My son's a TSA agent, and I hear many of his stories about travelers with an attitude. He's a young man who had several years of retail experience before joining the TSA. He knows how to interact with customers, and that's how he sees the traveling community.

      I travel a fair amount, and I see both sides...it doesn't have to be that way.

        Have you ever asked him why the majority of his co- workers think it's ok to treat us like cattle!!
        I'm going to end up saying something I might regret here so I better just end it now!!
