Would you trust them after the situation with Kelly Mae?

I'd probably put a mouse trap on my keyboard before leaving it unattended.;)

He is actually right. You would be surprised to hear how many incidents escape the national media. TSO's are briefed on these incidents daily.
It would be pretty low for the TSA to fabricate the incidents they brief.

I didnt see this on flyertalk.

I remember once one of those roaming TSA teams tailed some guy through a bunch of terminals. He was timing himself and counting his footsteps. When they got closer to him they saw several swastika tattoos. The TSOs called up LEOs who interviewed then searched him. They didnt find anything dangerous so they just let him go. What if one day he comes back with something dangerous?

Previously discussed. Search is a wonderful tool.

I believe these incidents lack credibility. Somewhat like the incident at HOU where the TSA cost a man his job due to their perceived issues with his shoes.

That wouldn't stop her from using white-out on the screen.

People with "something dangerous" can be found right now in the terminals at Sky Harbor Airport (PHX). It is not illegal nor prohibited to carry a firearm inside the public areas of the three terminals.

Should we stop each and every one of them because they might do something?

Good luck with that.

Guess what. There have been people you cleared through your little Kabuki Theater setup that have had Swastika Tattoos or other tattoos.

Doesn't mean a damn thing.

Probably nothing. Based on your former employer's Red Team testing, I doubt you would have caught anything.

As reprehensible as the loony Right's use of the Swastika is, it alone is not probable cause for harassment.

What if anyone who visits the airport today blows a gasket and comes back tomorrow with something dangerous?

The First Amendment protects freedom of expression, even at airports.

A Massachusetts man accused of murder and rape in a crime spree against nonwhites appeared in court yesterday with a swastika carved into his forehead. Twenty-two-year-old Keith Luke pleaded not guilty to rape and two killings in Brockton Superior Court. He was ordered held without bail. The victims were all of Cape Verdean descent. Luke did not have a swastika on his head when he was arrested, and apparently carved the symbol while in custody. Luke's lawyer asked yesterday that his client be sent to a psychiatric hospital, but a judge refused. Luke allegedly told authorities he was fighting the extinction of the white race. (AP)

A TSO seeing this guy wandering around the airport post self-mutilation might
invite a LEO or 3 to check him out.

Bob brought her onto the team as a Blog Commentator.

Surely Kelly Mae has Bob's complete confidence to post thoughtful comments in response to the current remarks.

I also said they observed him timing himself and counting his footsteps as he traveled from terminal to terminal. The Nazi tattoos were just sprinkles on the top.

A handheld GPS would have been far more inconspicuous.
