You guys are always telling people to stand up for their rights and and belittle them when they aquiesce.

This has nothing to do with being afraid of future harassment, there are too many ways of resolving this issue where she would not be "scared of retribution."

What ever happened to taking responsibility for yourself? If I needed meds that were allowed (per signage at the checkpoint) then no pipsqueak screener will take them from me without an argument.
Hasn't the government - and TSA in particular - continually crowed about how they are here to "protect" us, and that we are incapable of taking responsibility to protect ourselves? Isn't that the WHOLE BASIS of TSA's existance?
