I quoted the OP -- I'm curious about DL_TIDE's response to the screener's questions.

-------------------------------------
I do want to add. I am PERFECTLY FINE with this on INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL. My topic is domestic.

I answered them directly and truthfully. My body language was 'PISSED OFF'.

1. FEEL FREE TO DRIVE:
a. Been to Statue of Liberty lately? Feel free to drive!

b. Let's post an college educated professional at every event there is liquor served. First you must provide your personal information in advance to attend, surrender your keys at arrival, and before they are returned you are subject to 'screening'. You don't like that? FEEL FREE NOT TO ATTEND.

2. TSA vs El? When we have a Mossad organization and our country is the size of NJ and the bordering states are launching terrorist attacks against us. SURE! But we really wouldn't live that way now would we? BTW Drivers! Care to take a road trip in Israel?

3. Body language approval. Once, as I returned from out of country travel, a custom agent cleared me and said "Welcome Home". I walked away with my eyes full of tears from "love of MY country". Should I be given unfettered and unrestricted bypass of TSA checkpoints now?

4. Suggestions?

a. I'd start with a US Passport, then split the lines. Lot's of previous posted ideas that can be vetted and implemented for 'cleared' travelers.

NON_USA you're a guest in our home, no you don't have a US citizen's rights, you have the rights that your country has earned base on it's behavior.

b. Screening, regretfully it's going to be a way of life, guns exist, IMO rightfully so, but they can't be allowed on a plane.

c. TSA should quit trying to foil another 9/11 attack model. That model was based on passenger's acting like sheep. Case in point, when exposed on UA 93 it FAILED. Today, that group wouldn't even get in the cockpit.

d. X-ray machines. "Safe and faster" Any frequent traveler knows right now for fact, they are NOT faster. Do you really think the profiteer's both corp and political really know they are SAFE or even care? During it's time the scientific community has declared the world is FLAT and the Earth orbits around the sun.

e. Pronunciation testing: Today, a Boston Yankee was questioning Alabama born and raised Southerner! LOL, Get a life!!!
