I had a similar situation. (I was ready to strip down right in the boarding area!)

It went something like this:

A few weeks ago I flew to Alaska and back.

2 flights to get there, 3 to get back.

In Seattle on the way back, I got a seat change for my final flight home from LA

So they gave me a new boarding pass for LA to home, and crossed out the old info for the last flight on the 3 flight pass. They stapled them together.

When I got to LA, I thought I would avoid confusion by un stapling the two passes and only use the new one to board in LA.

The TSA was checking everyone in LA.

When it was my turn, the guy asked me for my drivers license and passport.

I told him I just came from Alaska and that it is part of the USA.

He said, Oh I mean your license and boarding pass.

I showed him my license and the old boarding pass (I kept the wrong one out) with the flight from LA completely crossed out and he looked at it and said OK.

Seems to me that should have been a red flag.

Before my turn came up, I noticed a well dressed older gentleman being asked to remove his coat, so when the TSA approached me I started to remove my coat.

He said that would not be necessary.

Being a scruffy looking bearded guy, I wondered why they want the coat taken off of a nicely dressed man in a suit and not me.

Maybe they are told to only get more serious with those that look completely innocent.

When I was through and got in line for the plane, a couple of 20 something girls had been watching and laughing.

I told them I would have stripped down right there if the TSA wanted me to.

They were relived I didn't...lol but laughed. (I think they may have one of those California “prescriptions.”)

Pingin' you onyx cause you said you wanted to hear this story

Then a couple of weeks ago ago I flew from Vegas to No Calif.

There were 4 male TSA and one female(?) (a square little dyke about 5 ft tall) checking people entering another flight.

The four males stood and watched while the female patted down about 5 women, grinning afterward while looking at her workmates.

The guys did not do anything but watch the little dyke feel up the women.

Weird to say the least.

What we need is about a 100,000 people who don’t care if they miss a plane – or can go to the airport long before their plane leaves – to all descend on Reagan in DC and refuse to be photographed but will put up with a grope.

Traffic at Reagan would come to a halt since the grope takes so long (been there, now engaged).

Cloward-Pivan for our side

Good idea. I suggest that be done on November 24th at airports across the Nation. That sort of activist protest of TSA would be sure to get plenty of MSM TV coverage.

BO & Big Sis appear very scared of what is going to happen on November 24th, National Opt Out Day when hundreds of thousands of travelers opt out of the full body scan.
