Personally, i am quite upset by the whole ordeal and felt extremely insulted as i was given the impression that tourists are not welcomed in the USA and especially in Washington DC. The TSA agents were VERY rude. Furthermore, i was given the impression that even though rules exist for teh behaviour of TSA folks, they do not have to follow it and can decide who to be nice and who not to be nice
Your opinions please,
Thank you
Welcome to the "Club". Seriously there's a club
. This happens all of the time and if the TSA actually did something about those TSA people who abuse the "Law", then the TSA would just about half their "Forces of Security". There's not much to do about the fact that a lot of TSA Security Personnel don't abide by the rules. They can make you do anything they want. Soon they'll be able to make you strip soon.
If there was a great ting we could do about it, you would know already.
