Reasons include SSI, and you cannot know why you are picked out to be a public example. Letters got me several phone calls back from various entities affiliated with the TSA's Dark Kingdom. Letters to whom? All congressmen, first, the airline(a joke---like complaining to your home invader that your hands are tied too tight), the TSA location AT the airport, the office of the GSC there, the TSA office of Civil Rights, the BBB and the visitor's bureau or Chamber of Commerce for the area.

I still can't tell you why I was bullied twice in a row, but I also bet they know my name. The 'apologies' you may or may not receive will be, as were mine, inappropriate for the treatment and unacceptable, as though that made a difference. Since you cannot know WHY you were SSSS'd, they are unaccountable and damned smug about it.

Letters seem to make the barsdturds uneasy, though.
