Coffee, Tea, or Should We Feel Your Pregnant Wife’s Breasts Before Throwing You in a Cell at the Airport and Then Lying About Why We Put You There?

*** begin quote ***
Of course when I say she “told me later,” it’s because she wasn’t able to tell me at the time, because as soon as I demanded to know what the federal employee had done to make her cry, I was swarmed by Portland police officers. Instantly. Three of them, cinching my arms, locking me in handcuffs, and telling me I was under arrest. Now my wife really began to cry. As they led me away and she ran alongside, I implored her to calm down, to think of the baby, promising her that everything would turn out all right. She faded into the distance and I was shoved into an elevator, a cop holding each arm. After making me face the corner, the head honcho told that I was under arrest and that I wouldn’t be flying that day – that I was in fact a “menace.”

May suggest you read this account of an “encounter” with the TSA? I read it and found a few items of particular interest.
(1) The very expensive security theater it demonstrates.
(2) What I would call unconstitutional search (i.e., baseball cap; public humiliation of an obviously pregnant woman.)
(3) The topper: destroying evidentiary video after 3 days.
As a reaction to the TSA, I have only flown twice since 9/11. (I had no real choice! Business.) I refuse to get my bp up from this absurdity.
Perhaps you might comment on it in your blog and wake up a few more citizens.
We really should close down the TSA and return security and the airports to the airlines.
