You're right, Zathras, but I was too blinded by rage to navigate that process, and like 99.999% of travelers who've been abused by the TSA, I was under a time constraint to get to my flight and couldn't spend the time it would've taken to do that.
If you were that angry leaving was the right thing to do.
You did the right thing.
On a Minneapolis TSA frisk, I was so mad I didn’t think it wise to say anything.
