SAN DIEGO — John Tyner won't be pheasant hunting in South Dakota with his father-in-law any time soon.
Tyner was simultaneously thrown out of San Diego International Airport on Saturday morning for refusing to submit to a security check and threatened with a civil suit and $10,000 fine if he left.
And he got the whole thing on his cell phone. Well, the audio at least.
The 31-year-old Oceanside software programmer was supposed to leave from Lindbergh Field on Saturday morning and until a TSA agent directed him toward one of the recently installed full-body scanners, Tyner seemed to be on his way.

You sir are the one who is seriously naive.
It's not the leaders I am concerned about. It's the followers. Judging by the ones we know about, they seem to be a pretty stupid lot bent on effecting jihad in any way they can think of. You just go ahead making suggestions to these followers, why don't you? Whose side are you on?
If it were up to me, you would be banned from FR. ML/NJ

Is it me or could someone explain the above? It looks like he was thrown out of the airport and threatened with a civil suit if he left. He had to leave because he thrown out so how could he avoid the civil suit? He had no choice but to leave. I’m Confused.
>>EVERYONE GOES THROUGH..this way, no one is getting touched.<<
So you are telling me as weekly flier I have to subject myself to 100 X-rays a year to accomplish nothing?
We were promised Trusted Traveler 1 year after 9/11 — years later and nothing.
The TSA is about compliance not safety.
I am going to lead a revolution next week and try to convince all my fellow travelers (there will be 10 or 11 of us) to opt out and screw up the system. We will have get there an hour earlier than usual but I think it will be worth it. I also will start yelling “Hey! Let go of my penis you pervert!” when they grab my genitals.
I have left the “flying is a choice so you sign up for it” concept for “just because you choose to fly doesn’t mean the government gets to irradiate you.”

A person who has nothing to hide doesn’t spend $800,000 to hide it.
About six years ago I was asked to take my wheelchair bound mother-in-law to the airport before I went to work at the firehouse for the night shift. At security they couldn’t find a free person to escort her to the boarding gate area and asked if I would do it. I was wearing my FD uniform with badge and Gerber knife (multi-tool) on my belt and set off the metal detector. After removing the items and passing through OK, the TSA agent thanked me for helping out and returned my badge and KNIFE and off I went to the boarding gate. Just say’in...
(it was an international airport)
>>Or type yourself a letter to present to the ticket agent authorizing you to take a loaded firearm onto the plane. Seen it done several times by cops.<<
In 10 minutes I could come up with 100 ways to defeat airport so-called “security.” And that is from the PASSENGER side. I fly every week, you think I don’t know every weakness? Sometimes I gasp, saying to myselfy “if X was Y then...” The TSA is made up of the second largest group of idiots in the USA (the Democratic Party being the first).
But how difficult would it be to get in as someone on the AIRLINE side? Did anyone see “Undercover Boss” about Frontier Airlines. Start in front of the counter in a small airport and in short order you are in below, around and through the airplane.
Do we really want to live in a country where a barely qualified security guard can screw up your life after groping you at will?
I wonder if Israeli security would have caught him.

Not any more.
I guess you work for tsa dont you?
Obama is doing us a favor by making us all so broke we can’t afford to fly. lol.
But hey, his way to stimulate the economy was to help Planned Parenthood give condoms to the unemployed. I guess he was telling us what the alternative to flying should be huh? lol
“Perhaps we should start looking at muslims from Yemen a little more carefully before strip searching grandpa from Iowa.”
And that’s the reason we’re in this situation. We abandoned any careful examination of immigrants. Almost all of us know that our grandparents or great-grandparents spent their time on Ellis Island. Checked for disease and so forth. What happened to that? Why did Oprez just sign an paper allowing 70,00 (or 80,000) muslims to enter this country for “humanitarian” reasons. Are they Christians? What about the white South Africans, are they getting let in for “humantarian” reasons?
That said. Why not combo of some questioning a al Israeli systems and chemical sniffing dogs? If the dog gets a hit you go to the scanner, pat down or out of the airport.
We got lots of dogs in USA. They’re cheaper than TSA agents (no pensions — well actually they ought to get pension (I always read Sat Night Doggie stuff) — but anyway cheaper.
Funny that you didnt learn anything while in the service.Just when is enough for you there bud?
I’d imagine Israeli security would have caught him. Since they are paid to think and not select every 5th person for a free grope. Of course their system is much smaller than ours.
Heh, heh. Good one. I shoulda thought of that (palm to forhead).
Yeah, I saw that. Makes sense. That’s probably why we don’t do it. Sigh.
You know, this is a terrible thought, but stiffening up these ineffective methods gives an appearance of vigilance so that if/when an attack happens they can say they did everything they could to try to stop it.
I wouldn’t put anything past this regime.
“You love being toasted by x-rays”
LOL! You get more dose on the flight than from the scanners!
The Muzzies wouldn’t let a dog sniff them. It would violate their “religion”.
