You can be assured I'll choose my words more judiciously in the future, though. You won't get another glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes from me!

Don't you feel better now?
emphisis mine... just like TSA has done with so many non-threats, and in the minds of somepeople violated the civil rights of travelers with secret rules, and kangaroo fines.

remember whats a joke to you could be serious business to someone else. I for one dont buy it,and other posters have a point that you dont see the error in your ways, which is sad because it just proves you have been brainwashed.

Speaking of someone who has had there razor damaged(Battery and blades) by TSA because they tossed my bag and threw everything back in braking my razor. It was because of this damage I could have looked real bad at a job interview but fortuantely my flight got early and i could get to a walmart to get a replacement and not look like a bum at a interview. The finger pointing game was fun, but i won.
