i just wanted to comment on this again.
so this is a flight full of heroes for the usa...people who had just risked their lives to defend the very freedom that those tsa agents take for granted living at home.
these heroes are subjected to the same ill thought out treatment as everyone else and it pisses them off. I suspect its only a matter of time until some big time politician goes incognito to get felt up and makes a big deal about this. These sort of unifying moments in time are always good for the politician who takes advantage of it.
i hear one airport jut kicked the tsa idiots out...i wodner who will replace them.
one more thing, im sorry if this offends anyone, but each and every person should be checked. there are levels of checking that should apply though.
regular traveller? doesnt need to be checked much, there is mountains of data on us already. confirm who they are and let them go.
new travellers should be checked top to bottom.
people who paid cash...top to bottom
muslims...sorry but if we can molest heroes on the way home, muslims can be frisked as well.
christians....anyone declaring allegiance to any invisible being should be checked
