Following my only opt-out pat down I alarmed. The TSO asked, "Do you play golf?"

When I got the secondary patdown in the private room (I know, shouldn't have allowed that) the machine kept alarming and the TSO made note of the fact that the machine was alarming way too much. When I commented on the fact that it appeared that they had some equipment issues he said, "It's all a bunch of crap." That's a direct quote.


If you think a system set up in such a way that it routinely causes needless stress to the informed and fear to the uninformed is acceptable...well, I'll just keep my thoughts to myself.

I have several flights coming up in the next week out of SAN. It disturbs me greatly that my need to fly brands me as a suspect in the minds of the government and I may be forced to choose between irradiation or a grope.

My flights planned for later this year will be out of an airport that does not have the NOS...SNA here I come.

I will be sending letters along with receipts to the SAN airport authority, county commission and city council with an explanation as to why.

I'm going to attempt to be a one man crusade to let the city know they are losing money because they allow this unconstitutional charade to take place in our city. I don't know if it will have an impact. But who knows, maybe I will be the one squeaky wheel that gets some attention.
