I sense a trend here. People really like to try and pit *their* words in other peoples commentary. I never claimed I witnessed any specific percentage of anything. What I said was that personally, I have never seen, nor heard of things like many describe here happen - to include groping.
The official position of TSA on medical nitroglycerin in every published article, and every online tool tells passengers that they can take nitro in carry on bags, and/or in checked bags. Additionally, I have never seen, nor heard of anyone (outside of online comments) having their nitro taken. It is not the policy of TSA to restrict passengers from carrying (or using) their medical nitro.
Every official reference to medical nitroglycerine in any form includes the warning that the final say rests with the individual screener. Nothing in the blog is or ever was binding at the checkpoint. I find it hard to believe a single TSO made up a fake 'rule' about explosive substances and it went all the way up to a suit and no one said 'hey, there is no such rule'.
The fact that you have not witnessed something does not mean that it did not happen. Even TSA admitted that a screener at DEN worked with a partner to manipulate the NoS on attractive male pax. You may not have witnessed it, but it did happen or TSA would never have admitted it.
You may have never witnessed a wheelchair-bound pax being mistreated, but DEN TSA agreed that their guy mistreated Amy Van Dyken.
If you think that if you don't personally witness something, it never happened, then perhaps you should have a word with HQ, because it appears they think otherwise.
