Infowars linked a YouTube video of a Code Bravo drill at PHX.

Here is the original article with the embedded video.

This has unlawful detention written all over it. I'd call police. Just to make the point.

Far too many sheep in this world

I hope no non-English-speaking person, particularly one with brown skin, ever gets caught up in one of these exercises.

Or anyone hearing-impaired and distracted.

Or anyone with headphones zoning out on music or a phone conversation.

Or someone like me who puts in earplugs after the checkpoint to dull the roar of competing taped security loops and CNN/FOX news blasts on high volume....

Or...one of these days, some woman is going to lose it and start shrieking and screaming "Omigod, we're all going to die" at the top of her lungs....

Next up: Code Bravo will require pax to spread their legs and raise their arms before freezing in position. If you've got nothing to hide, you'll do it, right?

It would be funny if TSA sounded the 'all clear' and everyone refused to move....

I've wondered what the response would be if a "frozen" passenger started asking, loudly, if there were an emergency, a threat, a fire, etc. IMO the passenger is asking a legitimate question, and the TSA should be held responsible for any ensuing panic, stampede, etc.

Me and me. I hate these things. Just caught in one so far and kept on walking. If you are familiar with HOU I was walking toward the bag claim past security and everyone was oddly standing still. I kept walking. A woman was on the turned off power walkway and was screaming at me "They said to stop!" "And you are doing good," I said as I kept walking.

Pointless policy little more than �obedience training�

The TSA�s bizarre new policy where it orders travelers who have already passed security to �freeze� on command has been caught on camera, with the clip illustrating once more how the federal agency has implemented a series of ludicrous policies that seemingly have no other purpose than to act as an obedience test for the traveling public.

Note to self:
1. Learn to juggle.
2. Learn to ride unicycle.
3. Buy clown suit.
4. Hope to end up in code bravo with all of the above while humming "doot doot doodle oodle oot doot doo do".

I really want to end up in one of these, just so I can walk and tell these [self-moderated] to buzz off.

^ this, but if they catch me at a bad frame of mind, I doubt I say "buzz".

I, for some reason, think that unfortunately at many airports the police will side with the TSA and most likely will charge you with some bs like disorderly behavior or so. I'm pretty sure they can even do refusal of screening of some kind. Bottom line is, they can and some day will make it not easy for someone. And there will be no way to return the time and money spent on lawyers.

Just curious. Are you talking about the "new" bag claim after you leave the secure area and exit down the escalators?

The area was just before the top of the escalators at the exit to security. I was walking next to the moving walkways to my right and the escalators were ahead of me. It was a couple of years ago. It wasn't you that screamed at me was it?

It wasn't me. I would have been right there with you and told her "They didn't say Simon Says" and kept on walking!

And on a side note, other than my husband and I - I've never seen another person opt out at HOU. I think Houston has trained people well to follow orders. I figure it's only a matter of time before I make the local news!
