Pax security
 
When I buy a ticket I consent to be on that specific plane

I dont consent to have hands on me in various parts on my body.

I do want to be secure on my flight and get to the destinantion.

How do I know that the TSO is doing that for me?

Who is frisking them ?waht do they hide inside their clothes?

For all I know they are strangers. And they could be a terroist trying to get me look one.

How can we trust them.

For all I know they are gulity until I prove them innocent.

:confused:

You are at much greater risk and face greater danger from actions by a TSA employee than those of a terrorist.

My biggest fear about flying is dealing with TSA...NOT the fear of terrorists.

I agree with you.
I have never liked flying at all.

But I have never been "afraid" going to an airport and deal with the people working there.

Now I am. Cause ;

I cant ask questions at all. Then I can get arrested and/or miss my flight. Or both.

I cant show emotions;

Cause then I could either be told to shut and stand still. Or being accused of interfering with security. Or being a "terrorist" cause I seem nerveous.

I can get groped in places that is considered not an sexual insult.

I could get hurt.

I can be yelled at.

I can get bullied.

And to top it I will miss my flight.

All this cause I want to see my elderly mother and my kids/grandkids in my birth country.

It doesnt even seem worth it any more.

Cause by the time I land I will need rest emotionally from all this.
