TSA Refuses To Explain Why You Have To Take Your Laptop Out Of Your Bag But Not Your iPad

They'd probably tell you to step aside.

 

Well, unless they pick me up and physically move me - assault - I'll just patiently explain I'm waiting for my ball handler. After all, I'm following the rules to the best of my ability. I can't help it TSA has gummed up their own works. At the airports I've been to there's nowhere to "step aside" with the brilliant new set up. What? Am I just supposed to take my sock footed self, where? in front of the entrance to the screening machine? in front of the entrance to the line? there's nowhere else to stand now, and juggle bins and my luggage while my pants fall to my ankles? Ain't gonna happen.

 

Looks like you got it covered then.

 

That hasnt been my experince at those two airports and about 60 other international airports since 2001.

 

I went in 2007, heathrow then frankfurt, and back again.

 

I've tried tying up the lines in protest but they're so slow these days that no one notices.

 

So I'm intensely curious what would happen if after the TSA person finished enhance patdowning me, I proceeded to insist I give them the exact physical enhance patdown? Make them turn out their pockets, run my hands all over their body and all that.

 

You'd end up as an arrestee in the FBI rape stats.

 

As should they.

 

you'd be corrected on your procedure and put through remedial training.

 

Apologies to the entire cast of "300," but...

"THIS! IS! TSA!"
