Rochester, N.Y. -- She says she had no warning that someone was going to search her car after she left to catch her flight. So the woman contacted News10NBC.
We found out it happened to her because she valet parked her car. Those are the only cars that get inspected.
So if security feels it is necessary to search some cars in the name of safety, why not search all of them?
Laurie Iacuzza walked to her waiting car at the Greater Rochester International Airport after returning from a trip and that's when she found it -- a notice saying her car was inspected after she left for her flight. She said, “I was furious. They never mentioned it to me when I booked the valet or when I picked up the car or when I dropped it off.”
Iacuzza's car was inspected by valet attendants on orders from the TSA. But why only valet parked cars? That's what News10NBC wanted to ask the TSA director about. We reached him by phone.
Berkeley Brean asked, “Are the cars in the short term lots and long term lots getting searched as well?”
John McCaffery, TSA, said, “No, those vehicles that are in the garage, short term long term parking, even if they carry pretty large amounts of explosives, they would not cause damage to the front of the airport. But for those who use the valet, the car could be there for a half hour or an hour so there is a vulnerability.”

Double-plus good, sir!
“She’s from New York so there’s a 90% chance she voted for Obama, so tough luck lady.”
I don’t think you can make that assumption in up-state NY. I visit that area a lot and most (except for the cities) hate that SOB.
Yes, thanks. I have been admonished. Based upon further evidence I stand corrected.
When will the TSA do house to house searches ?
“Could this be challenged in court?”
We have a government court system which will protect the government at all costs.
We have a USSC which does the same thing.
“Do we HAVE a Constitution anymore?!”
_______
Nope!
Never been a ‘truther’ but the abuse of laws passed after 9/11 has made me skeptical.
“if shes using valet parking, shes from the east side and likely dem”
Not likely. Surely a dem idiot. At the last portion, she was asked if it was Ok with her, the reply was she’s Ok with it as long she was told about the inspection.
No conservative/libertarian/GOP would allow it, even with a warning. Now I’m sure I have someone take me and pick me up at the airport because of this, even take a cab which is usually do before a flight.
i cant picture a west sider using valet parking - you from Roch ? - and yes - surely a dem idiot...
Wanna bet? Possibility of looking under the flour mats in the truck. Around the spare tire area.
They desire to make light of it. No valet for me.
Excellent . Although. I shamefully admit to be a sucker for the Patriot. Act back in the day. I was an idiot that trusted my government .
Add me to the list.
You have lots of company at FR, but not many with the integrity to admit they were suckered by “our own” side.
The lack of ... anything by our side lately makes me feel dumber.
But I am glad to know I am not the only one
Ironically 9/11 is what woke me up politically.
Sure!
Good luck though...
its a win-win situation....police state control plus more sure votes...
I’ve seen “undercover TV reports” where hidden cameras show valets searching through cars. Now all they have to say is “I work for the TSA”. I wonder if the TSA pays them per car.
We can all thank George Zimmerman that the TSA hiring neighborhood watch folks has been put on hold for a while.
