Flew into PWM yesterday, and took this while waiting for my checked bags. This clerk was acting as if he was a cop who was on patrol for somebody doing something "bad". Kind of wanted to "engage" him, but decided against it. I decided to take this to expose the constant waste of the TSA and DHS. As this report from CBS News uncovers, TSA has yet to catch a terrorist with their "Behavior Detection Officers". http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=6500599n&tag=related;photovideo
At the baggage claim? What the (expletive deleted) can it do? You're already off your flight and on your way out. For it to try to stop you would be unlawful detainment, right?
This picture proves everything I already know about TSA. By and large, the organization is rife with underachieving losers who would otherwise be sending missives from their mothers' basements. No wonder so many of them think they are now at the top of the food chain. Sad. And, CelticWhisper, I agree. What in the world is accomplished by hanging around the baggage claim once everyone has arrived?
Perhaps he is watching for people who look 'guilty' for having successfully transported forbidden things in their baggage that wasn't screened when they departed HNL. Source: Honolulu Star-Advertiser
The avatar requirement is that they cannot copyrighted by others. Further explanation is unnecessary.
This actually raises an interesting question - if I'm grabbing my bag after landing at my destination and some TSAhole demands to search it, can I tell it to get lost? All it can do is deny me entry to the sterile area, which may not even include the baggage claim, and which it was my intention to leave in the first place. Telling me I can't leave would be unlawful detainment since TSOs aren't LEOs and don't have LE authority.
Yes. Even in the secured area, they can only inspect it at pre-establish checkpoints. TSA has no authority to stop & search anywhere.
