In the LAX RCC. A few minutes ago I was just getting ready to take my stuff off the belt after screening at the elite security line a TSA shouted code braavo and bounded up the stairs to Terminal 7. We were told to step away from our stuff and not move. Pretty enervating. About 5 min later we got the all clear. First time for me. Don't need it again. |
Looks like one of their stupid tests to me:rolleyes:
I' sure our resident clerk in Den will be along soon |
I would have just grabbed my stuff and moved on..

You base that assumption on what?

From a blog a few years back
I had something more “reasonable” happen. At the actual screening line, where I had just gathered my shoes, an agent yelled “Code Bravo” and all the TSA workers held up their blue gloves. The one nearest to me told me to stay put. It lasted for maybe 5 minutes, and then they yelled “Code Bravo clear” and said congratulated us for being part of an exercise. It was pretty surreal and I was wondering what they’d come up with next. Now I know. I can only guess that TSA is training us to act like sheep. Their justification could be that it would be useful in one of those cases where someone bolts through the gate and they have to re-screen the entire terminal. But they’re really going too far now if they’re demanding that people play Simon Says without explanation or reasonable accomodation. Read More http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/200...#ixzz13xitxdgw |
From the same article:
* UPDATE – An anonymous reader writes in to say that the Aviation and Transportation Security of 2001 allows the head of the TSA can authorize TSA employees to have law enforcement powers. See Section 114(q)(1). The reader notes too that there seems to be no way for citizens to know how to distinguish rent-a-screeners from TSA employees vested with law enforcement powers. That said, I’m still highly skeptical of TSA screeners’ powers to detain groups of individuals. That said, I am not a lawyer. Read More http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/200...#ixzz13xkrAbmL |

this happens regularly in ATL.
I remember the first time this happened when I was traveling with a co-worker...he was amazed at the fact the best defense TSA had was screaming "code bravo, everybody freeze, don't move" mean while the terrorist would have just detonated his bomb and killed the 300+ people at the check point |

The GF claims I have selective hearing. This would be a good chance to prove her right :D |

I have had a bit of time to think about this. If there really is a code bravo, and it really means something, tell the passengers. It is only fair.
Notice: In certain events there may be an emergency announcement of a "Code Bravo." In this case all passengers should stop what they are doing and give due reverence to the all-power TSA clerk in your immediate vicinity. You are under their complete control and authority until you have been given permission to move. DO NOT MOVE. WAIT until you are given instructions. You will be told what you can do and when you can do it. Failure to comply with these instructions will lead to immediate retaliatory searches or you will not be allowed into the secure area as it is obvious that anyone that does not grovel before the TSA Blue is a terrorist and intent on doing harm to aviation security. |
