Flew tonight from Charlotte to LA. Got the full pat down treatment from TSA. Twice.
But did I complain? Hell no.
One of their people who stayed with me the whole time had been a Marine, who knew exactly what I was talking about when I described armored cavalry ops in Vietnam.
For some reason, something on my person cued them to explosives. I don’t know what. But after being surrounded by 8-10 TSA types including their “Explosive Expert”, who asked me a bunch of key questions, I somehow felt better knowing they were on their toes.
I was very cooperative and it was no problem at all.
my guess, either your pistol permit or membership here flagged you
