This is what I don't understand. How is this kind of behavior by a TSO allowed? Basically he is flat out stating that they will use retaliatory methods on anyone who is not absolutely submissive or who questions is any way. I am starting to this that THIS more than anything else is becoming one of my biggest issues.

PS - Sorry for messing up the quote.
Pure power play. I've seen the same thing at IAD, BWI, and LAX, including a case where the screener refused to allow someone through the WTMD because of his "attitude". That just escalated things as the gentleman's stuff was emerging from the x-ray. Finally appeared to have been resolved by a supervisor.
