i feel sick
I think it's crazy that our country is turning into Germany. I know it's a cliche to say, but the beginning of the end is when the government starts controlling travel. Soon these x-rays will be at bus stations! And the pat downs of pretty girls is getting out of hand. Worse the pat down of little kids.
Here's a link to a horrifying video of a little kid being pat down like a criminal! I AM OUTRAGED!! Why aren't we doing something about this!!

Denver TSA
The DEN TSA agents are in a group by themselves. One of my trips to visit them the agent actually told me "That hand sanitizer or lotion in your purse should be in your ziplop baggie, NEXT TIME put it in the bag with the rest of the little bottles" My response...."I will be glad to "NEXT TIME"

I beg to differ - perhaps of the past, but thankfully we have learned some very harsh lessons and people have learned to stand up and to question leadership. There is no WBI in use in Germany, and there were active movements against implementing WBI.
We also don't have the same level of fear of risk. I have posted several times about the number of UXBs which are discovered and defused every week around the country for instance.

IS THE TSA PROFESSIONAL ENOUGH TO RECORD THIS INFO? Yes, or no?

Almost 100,000 views in a day
For anyone reading this thread and wondering why it has got almost 100,000 views in a day, it's probably the 'Digg effect'. The thread has been linked on reddit (a 1980s version of Digg) ... the comments can be seen here, here, and here ... I'm not sure why there's so many pages but I think it's because the website isn't quite as advanced as Digg.

Does any US airport served by scheduled airlines offer flights that travel between states?
To which the answer is pretty obvious.
Note that this isn't a defense of the TSA's actual operations in any way, but it seems pretty silly to suggest that the federal government wouldn't have jurisdiction over airline security.

I think the question you meant to ask was:

Getting back to the original topic here, if there does exist a recording of that communication and the TSO did say what was alleged, I think it's all over for the AIT: it'll become immediately clear that the potential for abuse is just too high.

Students of history knew from September 11th how this would unfold. The only surprise (to me) was how long it would take for this backlash to evolve.

NB: I am not in favor of these stupid rules whatsoever.

Those idiots hiding in caves since 9/11 are now probably ROFL with the chaos they've finally caused.
How can I find out if there are any TSA employees in my neighborhood? Will the be in the register of sex offenders?
