No, I don't. I also don't understand how someone wearing a T-shirt with Arabic writing on it can be a threat. I also don't understand how orthodox Jews praying can be a threat.
Why don't you explain why a person holding detailed written plans on how to build a bomb and get said device onto an aircraft is a threat?
I never mentioned a single word about me feeling unsafe. I only spoke about what THE TSA might think was unsafe and how making them feel so (or disrespected) would not work to the OPs advantage.
One more time: what the TSA thinks is unsafe is irrelevant. If it's not a potential weapon, explosive or incendiary, it's none of TSA's business. If it's something in writing, TSA is constitutionally prohibited from excluding people who have it from boarding.
