My 2c is that if there was a separate Forum I probably would not go seek it out. The security hassles are annoying enough as it is without seeking to read a PILE of them all together.

Any airline specific info seems to appear in those Forums. . i.e. WHICH seats are routinely commandeered by Air Marshals etc, so as to avoid booking those in advance.

MY wider interest is piqued by SPECIFIC examples of TSA actions that seem zany, and those threads can appear anywhere. Four come to mind in four different forums.

1.) The nursing mother being forced to publicly drink her own breast milk "in case it contained explosive materials etc" by security agents at TSA checkpoint. ('In The News')

2.) The over-zealous Air Marshals holding guns pointed at all pax for duration of a long DL flight for as it turned out no good reason at all. The guy they overpowered was never charged with anything. One of them had been rejected for a job as a police officer due to his mental state and poor attitude. (Delta Forum)

3.) A number of Spiffs threads in 'OMNI' and 'In The News'.

4.) Punki's terrible treatment at PDX re her purse search and the subsequent official "ban" on her flying UA again that day for being a "trouble-maker". (UA Forum)

None of these I would have read if there were a separate Forum, and have to agree with Randy that there seem PLENTY enough (far too many IMO) Forums as it is.
