Always report any non-appropriate behavior during a TSA search to the Shift Supervisor.
I’ve done it three times.
Be professional, detailed and not angry.
One crazy probably got fired.
The other got a talking to.
Remember, many of these people couldn’t find a job anywhere else and have probably been fired once before.
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.
I fly about 150 times a year, mostly out of the same airports, been doing that for the last 10 years or so.
I have seen it all, the TSA is mostly a jobs program for low IQ minorities and white trash, the supervisors all think they are Jeh Johnson Jr, scowling at everyone as if they are accomplishing something.
Lately have been seeing more vets though, and the election of Trump has definitely changed the dynamic, pushing Whitney around just for kicks is on hold until they see if they can still get away with it.
