It wouldn't matter who was doing the screening (private or TSA) the laws would be in place either way... a law is a law is a law....

This fine policy by the TSA against innocent people is sheer lunacy.One wonders if this is an attempt to collect money to balance the budget! The woman in the story was not a frequent flier,was allowed to check her bag, and was still fined. Since the incident in OCT and receipt of her fine notice,she just received a new notice doubling her fine to $300. Add this to the latest TSA shoe fetish of x-raying all shoes with one inch thick heals(ALL FOOTWEAR)makes one want to shout from the rooftops:"Disband and go away".</font>
