Bulky Items Check
 
I had a new one today. Maybe this has been going on, but it was the first time I've been exposed to it. TSA at MSN pulls me over and feels me up as part of a bulky items check. I got everything but a 'package check'. Is this a new check or something local. Anyone get this one before? Basically it was a whole body frisk.

But, the TSA crew at MSN were very polite and very friendly. Must be that Wisconsin air...

bulk item patdown - it's been in affect for a few months... It replaced the whole hand wand deal with selectees, and is applied randomly now...

Yes, along with random shoe checks, bag checks, laptop checks, etc.

Hi,
The TSA's long-awaited plan includes new regulations for restricting access to sections of airports used for loading and unloading cargo.It also requires the employees of more than 4,000 freight forwarders - agents who accept packages and arrange shipment - to attend security training courses designed by the TSA.The TSA said it will consolidate 4,000 Known Shipper lists into one so that it can keep closer track of companies that ship cargo on passenger planes.
:rolleyes:

Still no screening of the actual packages, huh?
