Luck of the draw, act of God, TSO that actually understand their Constitutionally-limited authority? Who knows...
Sure I get pissed with the process and the people sometimes; but if someone asks you a question why not just either answer politely or walk away?
TSO have threatened people for not answering or answering with a perceived falsehood. Walking away is not an option, until you are "dismissed" by the TSO - unless you are prepared to be stopped by the airport LEO or held at fault for an infamous terminal breach.
I'm kind of tired of reading the same comments from the same people about the "system" and the "man".
Some of the folks on here like to share information about incidents/locations to make more people aware of things. This site is not just read by members and this forum seems to get crawled by the web search engines fairly well. Tired of reading comments? Don't read the thread. Tired of certain posters? That's why the forum has an "ignore" option.
While I am far from a TSA advocate, I have accepted the reality that crying about how the big bad security guard yelled at me will not do anything to change the system.
Either accept the way things work or hop on the interstate.
Yup, don't even try to use that First Amendment-protected right to express one's self - you'll just piss off Jcd2147.
