It's true that I never know when the TSA might help me. But I can give you a list of the times the TSA has terrorized me while I was just trying to go about my life. My body has been invaded repeatedly in ways I find completely sickening. I have been threatened with being banned from the airport for objecting to the way screeners carelessly handled my belongings. On other occasions TSA agents have laughed in my face when I objected to the way things were being done. There are myriad other large and small indignities I suffer regularly at these sham checkpoints. Real security does not require molesting innocent passengers.
