TSA tells disable Marine to remove prosthetic legs

I agree and call on the TSA mouthpiece claim.

Just to prove the point, I decided to put this video together. Notice that one video is directly from the TSA and the other is from a pro-TSA news bit.

PS - I had to mute the audio because I nearly vomited after having to play them a few times during editing for the side by side.

which claim? I have yet to see a sub 10 second pass to get through the porno vision

 

Sorry Traveln, didn't mean anything about your post, but that to which you were replying. I agree with your post. It was a long day and I threw that together quickly just to get it done.

This video actually had nearly 2 more seconds before the man exited the nude-o-scanner fully, so approximately 11 seconds, start to finish. That doesn't account for the TSA employee having to instruct the person on how to hold a submissive pose of surrender before starting the scan. Nor does it account for the 50% false positives requiring groping to resolve.

 

Media blitz in DC today as well: On WTOP this morning, I head a TSA puff piece about how they go out of their way to be nice to wounded warriors. Spokesholess Lisa was interviewed and specifically talked about my three local airports. It's clear that this was an intentional move to reassure the public after this much-publicized incident and I'm sure they hope Duncan Hunter was in town and up as early as me.

It appears to be a nationwide propaganda campaign.

FYI, Judging from Lisa's voice quality, she's either Big Sis, Jr., or a three-pack-a-day girl.

 

So this incident didn't happen, but they're going to be nicer anyway? Gee, I'm all warm and fuzzy.

And why can't they go out of their way to be nice to everybody?

I mean, no offense to wounded warriors, but why are the rest of us any different?

(No need to answer these questions. They're rhetorical.)

 

Thanks, Coach. Any idea how they got there - other than I'm now working with a Chromebook?

 

Everybody should be treated decently without having to request it.

 

Not to mention the fact that if you do call ahead, your request probably gets written down in sloppy handwriting on a sticky note and then stuck somewhere with a bunch of other illegible sticky notes, which are eventually thrown out because nobody knows what they're about. Either that or you call and get a number that's not in service, or routed to a voice mail that cuts you off mid-sentence.

Those would be my guesses anyway.

 

Doesn't say jack about replacement limbs.

 

In one article I read it said the TSA would contact the Department of Defense after receiving a request - well, where the heck do they think the service person got their military ID from?

 

That's most likely because the "Trained" Document Checkers still can't tell a forged military ID from a real one - because they have no idea what a real military ID looks like.

 

As Mike said upthread everyone should be treated with repsect and dignity. Having to call ahead proves that TSA screeners can not be trusted to follow procedures and treat people like humans.

Somthing is very wrong at TSA when they can't do even the most basic things without prior notice. We are way past the point that Pistole should have been shown the door. He is a better fit for North Korea.

 

Somebody better tell Kimmy Jongy to quit targeting DC lest he annihilate one his kindred spirits.

 

I'm wondering if that would be should a bad idea. Nothing coming out of DC but BS for years.

 

They're not all that clear on non-military ID, either. Is the genius that told the passenger with the New Mexico DL that he needed to show a passport still working?

 

No one at TSA works.
