Have you ever actually visited a prison? Because they're so patently dissimilar that I think you'd be unlikely to make the comparison if so.

So your an expert on prison procedures?

It was clear that what the OP posted and the screening TSA forces on citizens who have not committed a crime or wish to visit someone who has committed a crime is very much the same.

Tell me how they differ?
