3) I have been contacted by MSNBC to discuss this on the air. Now I am not sure I want to do this. with all the publicity I am afraid I am going to end up on some watch list.
With regards to the reference to a LEO in the original post. I cannot be 100% sure it was an actual law enforcement officer or if it was another type of security person hired by the airport. When you are in these situations it is difficult to determine who the person is actually. Therefore, we focused on the interactions with the TSA.
It is kind of fun have your 15 minutes of fame, sort of (This not how i wanted it).
I'd be willing to bet, MSY-MSP, that your name went on that list this morning.
If, in fact, you are and now you begin to be harrassed when you fly, you're in a great position to ask why and to publicize any harrassment.
I'd enourage you to go for the MSNBC interview.
Did anybody look at the video attached to Joe Sharkey's comments? He addresses the shoe carnival as well as Nathan's incident.
