Have you flown out of Denver lately? The woman in the video clip said she was okay getting from Austin to Denver, but the hassle came on the return trip.I'm kind of put out. I've flown almost 60k miles this year and NO ONE has fondled me. Not even once. And you would think that since airfares to some of the places I've had to go have been $800+, I should have been entitled to a little fondling before Delta bent me over and financially raped me.
Maybe the answer is to dress like a Muslim and carry a Koran; then TSA might leave you alone for fear of a profiling lawsuit from CAIR.This actually happened to me two weeks ago. I was flying home from
Pittsburgh and they had just installed the new full body scanners. I did
not know that I was supposed to empty my pants pockets before walking
through them. So, when I went through, they pulled me aside because of the
cash that I had in my front pants pocket and the wallet in my back pocket.
Without saying a word to me, one of the TSA guys came up to me and put his
hand in my back pocket and started to remove my wallet! I had a completely
visceral reaction. Without thinking, I grabbed his hand that was in my
pocket with my right hand and grabbed the front of his shirt with my left.
Then I started to cuss him out (loudly) and push him back at the same time.
Like I said, it was a completely visceral reaction, like if I caught
somebody trying to pickpocket me. I do not know who was more startled, him
or me. They did threaten to arrest me, but eventually let me go.
All in all, it was a REALLY bad experience!

A friend of mine reports:

I've been search 3 or 4 times this year, for a variety of reasons. I've gone through security checkpoints about 50 times or more, in almost every region of the U.S. Zero problems.

Alex Jones......eh.I don't think I'm gonna fly any more. This is really outrageous.

Alex Jones makes Rush Limbaugh believable
Doesn't mean that things don't happen though - not that I'm intentionally implying that you take the "It never happened to me,. thus it doesn't happen" attitude, but the TSA's infamous incompetence, and power tripping isn't secret. Its just the apathy both from the public, and media outlets.

I am aware that smaller airports usually have the politer TSA agents - most of my traveling - especially after 9-11 - has been out of major airports [god I wish the small airport near me had more destinations]. The major airports, however, have much more incidents of rudeness, etc. The people on the FlyerTalk forums can attest to this. For all the airports I've been through, in the U.S [LGA, LAX, DFW, ORD, MCO, MIA, TPA, SNA, STL, JFK, DFW, HOG, HNL, BWI, SAN, HPN] only HPN has had extrordinarily friendly TSA agents.

Also, this is a strawman. QUOTE]
Not really - a response to using travel out of a small airport to extrapolate how the TSA operates, frequency or lack therefore of rudeness, etc overall is not in of itself a strawman. If you travel out of big and small airports alike with some frequency you see a wider attitude variety than just going in or out of small airports, or just going in or out of large airports.
Regardless of how frequent or not it is, why should that matter at all? The fact that it is occurring in the way it is nowwithout any real means of stopping it is inherently, IMO, disgusting. If it is indeed true that they are patting genitalia in the manner spoken of in a few recently publishedarticles , it needs to be addressed, as I'm sure the limited administrative right to search granted to the TSA doesn't include patdowns that //seem// to be made with the intent of making passengers choose the body scanner from then on.
If they were doing their job, they wouldn't feel the need to add all these measures, to make the news as frequently as they do now. Black Dog, you should NOT have to take that - in fact, the treatment by those agenst should have resulted in summoning a supervisor, as 20-30 minutes over an insulin pump is hardly reasonable, and I'm sure that regulations control the inspection of medical devices.
