Diffrent cultures

Have TSA even thought about that one thing in USA could mean something different in another country?
Probably not.
My impression is that most TSA workers only speak english . And a lot of them have probably never been outside USA.

I have asked people in Europe what they would do if they are told to take off their clothes in a screening.

Their first reaction is No Way. But then they said if they are "forced" they would do it just to get on the plane.

But what does that mean take of you clothes? In Sweden it means ALL your clothes. Not just down to your undies.

And after what I understand in USA it means down to your undies.
And after reading on this website, it seems to me that the people who do what they are told , can get in trouble for it. Just because it means something else in their country.

So how is TSA going to handle all these different cultures. Also a lot of people dont speak english or/and have limited understanding of the language.

I have also heard that people will embaress TSA before they get embaressed.

Meaning that they will strip on the spot.

TSA is in for a lot of trouble and problems.
