UPDATE: I’m getting a lot
of emails asking if this is actually true and is this person actually
someone I know. (1) Yes it is true — it is too absurd to be made up. (2)
Yes, I know the person.

A friend of mine sent me this about his TSA experience. He, unlike most of us, was coming back into the country from Afghanistan on a military charter.

——–

As the Chalk Leader for my flight home from Afghanistan, I witnessed the following:

When we were on our way back from Afghanistan, we flew out of Baghram Air Field. We went through customs at BAF, full body scanners (no groping),
had all of our bags searched, the whole nine yards.

Our first stop was Shannon, Ireland to refuel. After that, we had to stop at Indianapolis, Indiana to drop off about 100 folks from the Indiana
National Guard. That’s where the stupid started.

First, everyone was forced to get off the plane–even though the plane wasn’t refueling again. All 330 people got off that plane, rather than let the
100 people from the ING get off. We were filed from the plane to a
holding area. No vending machines, no means of escape. Only a
male/female latrine.

It’s probably important to mention that we were ALL carrying weapons. Everyone was carrying an M4 Carbine (rifle) and some, like me, were also carrying an M9 pistol. Oh, and our gunners had M-240B machine guns.
Of course, the weapons weren’t loaded. And we had been cleared of all
ammo well before we even got to customs at Baghram, then AGAIN at
customs.

The TSA personnel at the airport seriously considered making us unload all of the baggage from the SECURE cargo hold to have it reinspected. Keep in mind, this cargo had been unpacked, inspected
piece by piece by U.S. Customs officials, resealed and had bomb-sniffing
dogs give it a one-hour run through. After two hours of sitting in this
holding area, the TSA decided not to reinspect our Cargo–just to
inspect us again: Soldiers on the way home from war, who had already
been inspected, reinspected and kept in a SECURE holding area for 2
hours. Ok, whatever. So we lined up to go through security AGAIN.

This is probably another good time to remind you all that all of us were carrying actual assault rifles, and some of us were also carrying
pistols.

So we’re in line, going through one at a time. One of our Soldiers had his Gerber multi-tool. TSA confiscated it. Kind of ridiculous, but it gets better. A few minutes later, a
guy empties his pockets and has a pair of nail clippers. Nail clippers.
TSA informs the Soldier that they’re going to confiscate his nail
clippers.
The conversation went something like this:

TSA Guy: You can’t take those on the plane.

Soldier: What? I’ve had them since we left country.

TSA Guy: You’re not suppose to have them.

Soldier: Why?

TSA Guy: They can be used as a weapon.

Soldier: [touches butt stock of the rifle] But this actually is a weapon. And I’m allowed to take it on.

TSA Guy: Yeah but you can’t use it to take over the plane. You don’t have bullets.

Soldier: And I can take over the plane with nail clippers?

TSA Guy: [awkward silence]

Me: Dude, just give him your damn nail clippers so we can get the f**k out of here. I’ll buy you a new set.

Soldier: [hands nail clippers to TSA guy, makes it through security]


This might be a good time to remind everyone that approximately 233 people re-boarded that plane with assault rifles, pistols, and machine guns–but
nothing that could have been used as a weapon.

Valerie; I sure would sue their butts if it where me, and I would sue Janet N, Holder, zero and more personally too. This is against the law and Constitution where you have to have a warrant to search a person or there property. The humiliation of the stupid people that allow this to happen. DRIVE or stay home... I find no humor in this at all, and I would never go through this nor any child in my care. They are deliberately dehumanizing the Americans and the cattle continue to allow it. We are no safer and we will not be until they use the profiling that works for Israel 100%, you never hear of any air problems for them! They are the expert on safety and allowing freedom, meanwhile we are headed for fascism and the nazis were really good at taking rights away, never say it cannot happen here, look at what is going on around you and now they want to force car dealerships into installing a security device to shut down peoples cell phones! Where does it stop? The people need to protest and show this outrages crap for what it is!

Yeah, They took my eyebrow tweezers. We fly often enough. What happens when they take my dental floss, because someone could be strangled with it! And ultimatley what happens when someone while being groped gets a heart attack or panic attack from the humiliation and embarassment of being seen naked. I know so many women who are so uptight about being seen in a state of undress, I can just imagine the anxiety buildup and shame that they feel which can drive them to a severely altered emotional and physical state. Just because "anything goes" in our so called modern society, doen't mean there is serious trouble brewing for TSA. Can a lawsuit be filed and won based on extreme duress, physical impairment and severe health reactions induced during a TSA inspection?
