Some times I have to give them my belt and/or disrobe others I do not. My question to all you frequent flyers is, do you know of a place that I can get a hard copy of my rights so that I'll have something to go to bat with a disgruntled TSA agent with in the future? I feel so vunerable not knowing the rules and "ignorance is no excuse for the law!"
Thanks.
P.S. I thought this was mileage realted as I need to gauge how much time it's going to take me to get through TSA on Friday evening flights.
There is tons of info on this in the Travel Safety and Security forum. The TSA's website has info on the rules. But recently screeners are saying "the rules have changed" (changed 9/20/04) and they just do what they want to do. Good luck.
