I know that screeners tearing through my carry on because it held a projector have been trying to provoke a reaction and I won't give them the satisfaction.

Looks like they'll call the cops if we tell them we're wearing non-profile shoes.

Let me understand....you permitted TSA screeners to read documents found within your baggage? Why would you permit that? I never allow them to get access to papers, documents, nor would I discuss any papers or documents I am carrying if asked.

But we're allowing it to happen, aren't we?

Pffft! ... are they thinking? Menopausal women sweat like, well, like pigs. Jeez. :rolleyes:

Our BEHAVIOR? When HAVEN'T they been interested enbough in that to use it as an SSI reason to do anything they feel like?

All part of the "Implied Consent" clauses in our American "Implied" Constitution.

Velly inteddestink, folks. Keep lining up for it and reporting. Amusing reading.
