Two months ago as I was going through the Screeners I had one telling me to do one thing and another telling me to something else. They got louder and more insistent as I shifted from one to the other. It got a little tense for a few moments.
TSA bitch at LAX told me she’d have me arrested if I didn’t stop crying. (My dad had died one hour before and I was on my way home to NY State to say “goodbye” — too late.)
It’s not an uncommon tactic for government agents. Fortunately; you survived the encounter.
Not all do.
