And I mean anyone, not only people that live in the US. Did it every occur to you that many of us donīt? Airports are places where people from everywhere in the World pass through all the time!

I can assure you that the experience of passing through the TSA checkpoint with a foreign passport as ID is not pleasant, ever. Apparently being foreign (and not even remotely from "terrorist countries") makes you instantly liable to more horrid screening. They do that because they can: foreigners donīt have a means to effectively complain (even less than anyone else) and often donīt know enough to stand against abuse.
