And yes I tried to get the video/photos, but was advised that it couldn't be released as it would compromise national security, and my 6+ year old request under the freedom of information act still goes unanswered.

Why requesting a complaint form and the name or ID of a TSO requires calling the TSO over, and results in a battery charge at the suggestion of the supervisor smacks of a "set up" to me. And yes I know even paranoid people have enemies.

I would opine that if we collected all extra ordinary experiences LAX would rank near the top of the list. I suspect it is either a written or unwritten policy of retribution. Even my LA attorney has an office policy that no one uses LAX because of the problems they have experienced. Presumably of a less criminal nature.
