It's simple: get elected.
“I think I’m going to have to research this a bit further.”
You may find the procedure has been in place for several years. Assume international travellers have not been subject to an effective security “search”. Should we then let them get on a domestic flight without any U.S. security check?
If international travellers only had access to the public sidewalk after passing through customs, there would be no issue and those of us coming home with no intention of connecting with a flight wouldn’t have to take off our shoes, etc.
I want it to just go away before I have to fly again, darn it!
Here at SeaTac you have the option of the "public sidewalk" or search before entering secured area.
I do not need to go though a TSA security check to discover I am a domestic extremist.
Anyone who believes inn the Constitution and works for its restoration is an extremist.
I I had my way for a day, the people would go to every TSA station in the country, hook up high pressure fire hoses and drive them out of every airport like greased pigs.
It is well known that Muslim women flying into the US do not even have to show their FACES, much less be groped or x-rayed! We do not know who or WHAT is under those burkas.
The TSA does NOT require security checks for arriving passengers. He did not beat the TSA, he beat the NKI exit strategy. Instead of having to exit through the secure area per the airport plan, he was escorted through the secure area by security.
Per the airport plan, he had to go through the security area to get to his bags and exit the airport.
I think I can hear the construction of a new sidewalk at NKI already!
Ergo the Canadian Free Press article after the the 1st Tea Party in 09' that they were "their" and taking pictures of "us"... Yes that young lad with the short hair clean cut just running around taking pictures of everyone he could, saw it with my own eyes.....
“”I’ve never been in an airport where passengers on their way out were subject to search. This story seems a bit odd in that respect””.
In Atlanta, all arriving international passengers must go through TSA even the ones with Atlanta as final destination since the airport does not have a separate corridor for you to walk to baggage claim. Let us hope the designers of the new international terminal solved that problem.
I can think of a reason to get the names of TSA protestors as opposed to mere Tea Partiers. No doubt there was intelligence gathering on the Tea Parties. But all you had to do was show up, wave a flag, listen to s speech, and “Remember in November.” A TSA protester is head and shoulders above that. They are willing to take on the risk of a direct confrontation with tyrannical authority, with a strong possibility of immediate adverse results. In short, they have the intellect and hero spirit to become leaders of the resistance. They are special, and knowing who they are is an advantage to the tyrants and would justify extra effort in identifying them. The only way I can think of to beat that devilish ploy is to overwhelm it with the Spartacus defense. If we don’t act all as one, it will be way too easy for them to peel us off individually.
Thanks for the information, I had a feeling it had something to do with the airport layout.
Imagine the situation if large numbers of travlers follow the same scheme. Insist on the right of free passage. Remain calm but firm. Tie up huge numbers of TSA agents and local police.
The system can’t handle that. It would’t take many doing that is force change.
If he just arrived into the country from overseas, he should have had his passport with him.
That said, an international flight from Paris, France lands in Cincinnati?

He would not have gotten through customs without it.

US Airways
Yeah, he would have had to get through customs.
I didn’t know any international flights left from there. I didn’t know if it was big enough.
