Nicely done. Interesting to see everyone trying to pass the buck around, in the absence of any legitimate authority for them to frisk the guy’s privates.
Great post. Very informative.
Ha! I want a report from his Wednesday flight! As soon as they read his name, the fun will begin!
My problem is I would probably lose my temper.
They are stomping the 4th amendment and know it. Everyone should refuse and ask if they are free to go. If not they are under arrest. False arrest and hell to pay for those arresting. The magic words are ‘am I free to go’.
How interesting!!!! Thx for writing all this up!
AFAIK prison guards are not allowed to touch a prisoner’s genitals. One would think a person who hasn’t even been accused of anything might have more rights than a convicted felon doing time.

Nice. But he was arriving. WHY THE HECK DO THEY HAVE SUCH A PROCEDURE FOR ARRIVALS?
He also admits he was through some similar level of search upon boarding in France.
How long will he be willing to be detained — and this is a form of detention — to board a plane? And would they allow him?
I’ve never encountered a security check after arriving internationally and clearing customs. I’ve always gotten my bag, sent it on to the next carrier, and went to the gate. I’ve never flown into that particular airport before though.
Not my story, just reporting.
Weird, as I travel a heck of a lot internationally, to include a flight to/from the UAE within the last week and upon returning to the US you head to ICE where they stamp the passport and customs declaration form, and then you pick up your checked bags and go to the next ICE station where they collect your customs form and possibly select you for screening if you might look like you are a smuggler or something.
Once clear of ICE stations (both), you are free to go. You simply walk out. The only time you need to see TSA again is if you have a connecting flight, and then you need to have a ticket and find your way to the usual TSA mouth-breather stations.
Something is odd about the article. Very odd. Perhaps someone that flew internationally within the last couple of days can chime in.
Please see my Post 14.
Good point, done in the true spirit of bureaucracy. I think they hoped they could outlast him. Then again you can only be detained so long which they knew. It certain highlights the tenuous position theyre in, hoping no one questions their unconstitutional policies.
“WHY THE HECK DO THEY HAVE SUCH A PROCEDURE FOR ARRIVALS?”
Because terrorists from the middle east have to “arrive” in America?
This is really the airport's problem for locating international flights in a portion of the airport that doesn't have an exit to the street. I don't know if it would cut costs to offer a shuttle bus from Customs to the baggage claim compared to the cost of processing a few extra passengers.
As an aside, I hope this guy isn't upset having his criminal background checked while he was waiting 2 1/2 hours.
I have to fly for business in December, January, March, April and May and still don't know what I would choose.
The TSA knows you can beat the rap, it is the ride they will make as miserable as possible for the flying public.
