Billfold Inspections are Happening in Tulsa
Tulsa TSA went through my billfold Thursday before last even though they had zero cause . I guess they were looking for some kind of imaginary dollar bill threat. I'm a mild mannered senior citizen. Tulsa's TSA has historically always been very unfriendly. I didn't opt out of anything. I just stepped out of the millimeter wave machine and the guy put his hand inside my pants and asked me to hand over my billfold which I had held above my head, as instructed, while inside the machine. I had removed my belt and watch and had absolutely nothing in my pockets.

This is the reason I lock mine in my carry on. Anything on your person is subject to search at a whim of the screener.

The state agency issuing the CHL definitely would fall under the “equivalent” portion of the TSA requirements.
The TSA reference is to state issued ID cards by the DMV or whatever the name of the agency is in that state. |

In Texas the Department of Public Safety (DPS = state police) issue both DL's and CHL's.

TSA: The Sleazy Agency
Today they are going through our wallet. Tomorrow their dirty hands will be all over our genitals. All done in the name of "homeland security". When will it be stopped? It looks like the real terrorists are the TSA agents themselves.

Tomorrow? Where have you been? They have been doing this for some time now. :( |

Last week, I opted out at IND. My wallet was in my pocket and I was told they needed to examine it.
I was given the choice of it being run through the x-ray machine or a manual inspection "that would require them to dump everything out into a bin". When I asked what the motivation was for the procedure, I was told it was SOP and could not shared with me. :rolleyes: If (i.e. when) if happens to me, I'll press for a reason as to why they need to inspect it. |
I was going through IAH and TSA employee picked up my wallet and started to open it, when I saw him, I immediately motioned for the police office standing just a few feet away.
The office came over and after being told that TSA employee is going through my wallet, the police office asked the TSA employee if he saw anything suspicious on the X-Ray, when the Employee said no, the police officer told him to hand over the wallet to the passenger and then asked me to check it to ensure nothing was missing. I checked it as instructed and upon finding everything in its place, the police officer reminded the TSA employee he is still able to be arrested for violating Texas law and walked off. I collected the rest of my things and thanked the officer for assisting me, he said not a problem, he was just doing his job. I thanked him again and asked where I could send in a commendation for him and said to check the Houston Police Website and gave me his Badge number and full name. Dan |
