TSA sucks

[Bloodshot Scott]

I don't know what to say. It's been at least a decade since I hopped a flight and I can't say I look forward to my next. Greyhound probably the way to go, although flying is far safer.

I was 'randomly' selected once but I could have predicted I would be since I bought my ticket at the last minute or something...can't remember what exactly it was but based on it I wasn't surprised I was selected...

Yeah I've since read that people who book last minute are marked as suspicious. Apparantly young girls/women travelling alone are on that list too, because of myself but my brother recently travelled to Vegas and two girls on his flight, both young, both travelling alone were also randomly selected during check in as well. Total BS. If they're going to implement a higher level of screening, they should do it to everyone and not just a select few. The way they do it now is effing stupid, it does nothing to keep people who have drugs and weapons off flights.

Thats the thing though, they DON'T screen everyone. They select a random few to get secondary screening, while the rest of the passengers just walk on through. That is why the system doesn't work...the TSA spent all day frisking me, interrogating me, scanning me, ripping through my luggage...for no reason at all because I wasn't travelling with drugs or weapons...while the rest of my two flights walked on the plane after taking one step through a metal detector. Someone else on my flight COULD have had drugs up their bum, or the materials to construct a weapon, but the TSA didn't even bother to check!

All it takes is another flight takedown, Ashleigh, only then will we all become equal and suspect again.
For now, the TNAers seem to be getting a kick out of harassing those who least likely fit ''the profile'' ... 6 y/o girls and attractive fair skin toned women.

Anyways, holy fucking bump, this was from last year LOL

Not so fast! Four and a half months ago sounds better.

I tend to agree.

I WISH one of those dopes would "frisk" me....I would be sure to eat 3 Fiber One bars beforehand just so I could lay the rankest farts I possibly could, right on their grubby little hands...

Ashleigh sad story!

I fly a lot internationally and we really need to do a better job with screenings/airport security at home.
All of airport security in the US is basically a farce. And lets face it if you really wanted to cause destruction on an airplane and were professional enough you could do it the media has exposed the holes before.

The random screenings are a joke. What you look like, dress like, race, age, booking, luggage, attitude all can factor in.

But bare with me and read these.

1. A guy I worked out with was a demolitions expert in the marines and told me he or some terrorist could rent a limo fill it with explosives and blow up a third of LAX he said quote " Can't screen that."

2. Traveled with a friend in 2006, she was given the wrong ticket. Her name is Japanese the ticket name was Indian. friend: Aiko Yamazaki the ticket said Mari Patel. We did not check either. Went through 3 checkpoints where they looked at the ticket and passport. Finally they found the mistake and read it right at the gate.

3. Went through customs at SFO with my buddy we watched them harass a 70+ yr old about nail clippers. My buddy forgot he had his 4" Swiss Army knife in his backpack..he got through.

4. Have a Jewish American friend with a long beard. Because of his long beard he thinks he gets stopped. Dude told me he has been "random" checked at 14 airports in the US since 2003. He gets questioned on a regular basis.

5. Saw 2 TSA workers inspect a guy with a glass eye like they were doing a lab experiment. Man talked to us later. The guy lost an eye in Vietnam.
