“I am a platinum flyer and fly a lot and in the last 11 years have had one rude screener and it was minor. TSA hasnt done one inappropriate thing to me or anyone I know.”
Then you’ve been blessed. It gets tiring being pulled out for special screening and groped because you’re traveling with your obvious pilot (in uniform) husband because your ticket is one way to the next place he’s flying out of. I live on the West Coast. My son is getting married next June on the East Coast. I’m driving.
I make 14 trips a year, for work only, every one I am feeling more like a cow and less like a human.
The TSA ignore me for the most part, but the hassle is taking off my belt, my shoes, and getting scanned and patted every 5th time.
As a platinum flyer you get the royal treatment, I will never aquire enough miles on my short hops around the USA to be treated well.
This year we cut back our corporate trips, next year I scheduled less. I hope to eliminate all trips unless the TSA is removed.
A reminder that GW Bush gave us the TSA.
Bambi made it worse, but starting it was a mistake.
