TSA and trust!
We all know that TSA doesnt trust anybody.
But what about us who are passengers ?!
How can we even get close to trust people who doesnt know/want to hear the words genitals, breasts and buttocks.
"We "get told not to offend the screener.
Any TSA who want to answer that.

If every thread had to break new ground, on a forum nearly dedicated to the TSA, there would be very few threads. The TSA has already broken ground on most of the criminal activities they play part in.
Anyways, the OP is right, the TSA has done absolutely nothing to earn trust from American's in the past year and a half.

Trust goes 2 ways. At least I think that.
I live here in USA. English is however not my first language.
And I do THINK and BELEIVE if they can touch your genitals, breasts and buttocks.
They TSA should also be able to hear those exact wordxs swithout being offened and/or threathning the passenger that they feel upset of the words.
To me it just shows DOUBLE MORALS.

It is curious that the they get all squeamish when you call "resistance" by their proper names. During a phone discussion with the customer service TSA individual at BNA earlier this year, he threatened to hang up on me if I continued to use the clinical term for a certain activity.^

It's just another method they use to protect themselves(the TSA and the employees), and not the passengers, which is the basis behind nearly everything they do. It's not right, and it shouldn't be that way, but nothing, or at least very little, about the TSA is right.

They can touch all your "private parts".
But they cant spell them out.
I will "as a not"born" american will ask them the correct words.
Cause "restance" to me is refusing anything touching me.
Will not approve of anything. Unless I get told not to fly.But will ask them to tell me the correct words.
As a non born english person one would think they have to spell it out.
Do I think they will . NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

With great respect, you have been posting exactly these sentiments, often in these same exact words, for a year and a half now. I am very sympathetic to them. But what's today's news hook?

People should not give up anything to travel.
To encourage people why they should object to this invasive pat downs.
Do you think that is wrong? I dont.
Same words maybe so. Why? Cause english is my second language.

The screeners say they will feel up the leg until they meet resistance and should the traveler ask if they mean specific body parts they get all bent out of shape, threaten to call police, or eject the person from the airport.
I used the TSA Screener Theft problem to demonstrate that TSA is doing little to nothing to control its workforce yet TSA expects complete blind obedience from people who had the audacity to purchase a ticket to fly on a commercial aircraft.
OP has a valid question.

No, I'm demonstrating that the OP, who you took to task, is on point about TSA.

Thank you.
Do I expect to get an answer from TSA ?
Yes I do.
I know that they will not have the courage to answer this question.
