Fearmongering politicians could not succeed without willing coopertion from the people, such as voters, or TSA and DHS employees.
I'm not a big fan of Newsweek because of their slant on a lot of issues, but they got this one right. |

Happened to my friend's elderly disabled dad at LAX. The idiot TSA-droids shouted at his wife when she tried to catch him as he fell. The entire extended family has vowed never to visit the US again. Great job, TSA! :rolleyes::rolleyes:

How can anyone comply with any rule or law without knowing what they must do to comply. TSA clearly puts people in a true Catch 22. |
TSA issues lame apology
|
What's "lame" about the apology? The article doesn't attempt to explain away anything the TSO did, or cast any doubt on the passenger's story.
|
Wow -- While driving home tonight and radio channel surfing, I came upon the ultimate pit bull, Michael Savage. He was lambasting the TSA up one side and down the other over this incident and asked why the screener and supervisor weren't fired.
To paraphrase a former president, "When I've lost Michael Savage, I've lost the TSA." |

A "real" apology would also name the offending terminated screener. TSA has no problem naming passengers that get into altercations at checkpoints; they should hold their employees to the same standard. |

A decent apology would explain in detail the action TSA is taking to prevent further such occurrences, would state that the offending screener, his supervisor, and his supervisor had personally apologized to the family, and would state that the offending screener (and perhaps supervisor) had been fired.

The Newsweek article hits the nail on the head. Only one problem: what the administration claims they're doing (making Americans more resilient and less fearful) and what they've actually been doing since Christmas (adding WBIs, drink testing, hand swabbing) don't mesh.

Nowhere in our SOP does it say that we are allowed to tell a passenger that he/she must remove a medical device. Sure, we can ask someone if they can remove their medical device, but if they can't, we cannot force them to it off.
Sounds like this screener was either new, lazy, our really stupid. "Yea sir, I'm going to need you to remove that arm of yours". LOL Whats the odds? |

Looking forward to the erection of stocks at the front entrance of every airport for just that purpose.
