after I questioned why I had to take my belt off.
The agent who patted me down said he didn't understand why I was sent over to the WBI for refusing to take off my belt.
The TSA manager who I spoke with yesterday wondered if I was sent to the WBI as it was to be in use constantly. I replied that was not the case since there were two people in line for it when I was sent over.
So, my two thoughts are still:
- Boston USAirway Checkpoint making up new belt "rule".
- I was sent over to the WBI as retaliation for not voluntarily taking my belt off to go through the WTMD.
