Can you imagine what the retirement payout will be? I am just about fed up with all of this. The story goes that she was some sort of Executive in the "real world" and then started as a blue shirt with TSA and worked her way up the ladder? About $ 50.00/hr to be in charge of antagonizing airline passengers? Besides "us" it includes innocent non U.S. citizens, where they don't even offer a transit situation like all other countries in the world do. What a world? Quite tilted in the wrong direction, or?
I posted and others did as well : No other country in the world, third world, autocratic and even dictatorship countries have ever treated me ( us ) as bad as the United States has and is doing it at any single day, in and out. And that is with a U.S. passport and a Green Card holder. Think about it, a Green Card costs a lot of money and requires a lot of documentation. Still, they treat Mrs. EX like dirt. The biggest country, the strongest country, the best country, the ??? country? Not really, or? If a private airline had such an abusive person working with customers, how long would that person last? Not long, right? So why are they allowed to keep their jobs acting that way with TSA? The only reasonable conclusion is that TSA wants that behavior or finds it acceptable. Top down rot. |
Wouldn't it be nice to get names and pictures then place ads in local newspapers showing our fellow citizens who these people are and what they have done?

They did not have cameras or phone cameras in the gas chambers and they never knew what would hit them. We all know, yet we are not allowed recorders, cameras in the sterile areas. We are not allowed to make comments, we are not allowed to make jokes. We are allowed to shut up and let things happen to us without questioning. Because questioning is evil and needs to be punished. How many millions died for that? And why did nobody learn anything from that? Why is it still allowed in the free-est country in the world??????? No, why is this mandated?

I guess complacency is easy as long as it happens to the other person. Most people are not even aware what is going on in America. We would never know of this story except that we read it here. We are just a tiny fraction of the population. I don't know what it would take to get anyone to really notice what is going on, and truly care. The politicians are NOT to be trusted. We are well on the way to a police state, and as long as people can watch "American Idol" and "Dancing with the Stars" they probably couldn't care less what else is happening around them. |

You are most definitely allowed to take photos/record at the checkpoint. As long as you don't "film the x-ray monitors :rolleyes:", there should be no problems.. You might have to deal with the clerks blocking the camera with their fat @$$, but feel free to record in the future.
Mrs.EX was an ANA F/A and subjected to heavy interrogation in the "old" days when we shared a room together at my hotel in Seoul. Still, that's a piece of cake compared to now-a-days U.S.A. I am just mentioning this, because at that time Korea was a dictatorship and tightly controlled. Although nothing compared to the TSA/CBP situation. And that's the point! |
Most Americans don't realize that the blood sacrifice to push North Koreans out of South Korea was shortly dishonored by support of a dictatorship. Unfortunately, a lot of Americans are now turning the same blind eye to dictatorial acts toward fellow citizens.

Trouble is that its like cops, in that misdeeds of a fellow officer is off limits for criticism by the "good cops". They are like those New Yorkers who listened calmly to Kitty Genovese and thought "Boy, I'm glad that's not me".
The Yankees are the world champions as well as the Cowboys are the super bowl champions. Nobody knows those sports in the whole wide world, nobody cares, but the fans in the U.S. are happy. Games and Bread! |

Pictures, names, address. They take our names and address, and our only crime is trying to traverse the checkpoint. If you set it up on Google blogspot, it places pretty high in rankings. hint, hint, wink, wink. |

He's made quite a meal of TSA-disparaging over there. I've bookmarked his essays and will be checking back often. (Always glad to see lefty-linking sites heading the right direction, and I'm very disappointed that more of my ideological brethren & sistren are falling down on this. These are the same people that protest wars, nuclear power et al with impunity...Go figure.) |

Remember, we are FT, a premier minority. That's all we are. |

OP, did you file a police report with the Phoenix Airport police? On the one hand they are quite useless and they actually murdered a woman they arrested in the concourse three years ago or so, God knows what else they did too her before killing her. Anyway, despite this, if you are able to get them to file a report, it will help you in many ways, from insurance claims to getting the TSA to investigate the matter. Best of luck.

Dang! I didn't hear it the situations going on at Sky Harbor today. Why TSA is an inappropriate to touching his 89-years old grandmother. That's wrong! TSA can't be touching her at all and no one ever allowed go through the body scanners. Because this is not real safe for her at all.
Why can't they figure out that I, a 70 year old retired pilot with a cane, a 1k with UA for many years, is no threat? Why are the singling us out all of the time????? What's their problem??? |
