Have you ever been tempted to ask them why they wear a badge if they have no police powers?

Woman: “Do you think that I am honestly a threat…?”
Male agent: “No, no, no, but with your attitude…”
Woman: “Let me get this straight. This is retaliatory for my attitude. This is not making the airways safer. It’s retaliatory.”
Male agent: “Pretty much…yes.”
Woman: “Is that legal?”

Agreed! I'd rather drive. We live in such a beautiful country.
I have never really liked flying. Love planes, looking at them and watching them in the air, but the whole TSA thing distances me even further from stepping foot on one.
If they try that on me I will be on CNN that night. No one, no one will make make me freeze. We need to push back hard and fast.

An example of the Left’s meaning of ‘diversity.’
You’re right. And I wish Jeb would shut up today.
TSA is nothing more than a Bush administration jobs program for the chronically unemployed.
Bravo!
You are exactly right. TSA was a jobs program for the people that they are phasing out of the post office. It keeps the illusion of close to full employment alive.
It is also a great hidden tax as the cost for TSA is absorbed in the cost of the tickets.
I was going through security at BWI, and I forgot to take my watch off, so I covered it with my other hand, as they used to let you doe pre-9-11. The TSA-hole made me go back through with both arms at my sides, and no suggestion that I take my watch off.
Predictably, I set off the medtal detector, which resulted in a thorough wanding and a very personal pat search, which found nothing.
I hate flying anyway, and I keep hoping they will keep me off the plane, although not in a way that will put me on the no-fly list, or get me arrested, although putting me on the no-fly list may convince my wife that we are better off driving to most places.
I really laugh at airport security, which won’t let us take a bottle of water through, and then lets some people get away with taking all their wordly possessions in carryon luggage, precipitating pre-flight arguments over space for carryon luggage. I was on a flight on which it took an hour to get all the carryon luggage situated.
I have flown once since 9/11. I won't say "never again", but that farce of taking my shoes off every time I got on a plane was enough. I'll drive if I need to go somewhere.
My bad attitude is the reason I won’t fly again.
Are there boats you could take? Or are they checking those, too?
