The Transportation Security Administration has opened an investigation targeting John Tyner, the Oceanside man who left Lindbergh Field under duress on Saturday morning after refusing to undertake a full body scan. (www.signonsandiego.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Funny that the Israelis, who went through hell in the 60’s and 70’s, don’t go through all these contortions, yet in modern times have an impeccable record of commercial aviation security.
I'm starting to think Jesse Ventura is right on his conspriacy theories relating to the government. The problem with the government, they are always late on reacting to a problem, and when they do react, they always overreact. With TSA, you have a bunch of unqualified idiots telling everybody, including airport police what to do. They have a fake badge on their shirts and think they're the experts and can do whatever they want, and they can because they have no proper oversight. I haven't flown the airlines in 10 years, but I've thought about asking the next time I go through screening, for each official's identification so I can verify they aren't on a sex-offender registry. The upside is, its causing people to go get their PPL, buy their own airplane, or charter.
...."temporary" being the operative word?

I love the jerks who say take the bus, drive your car, etc. if you don't like this BS. This is not the way it will be if enough American have the cajones to raise hell with their U. S. Representatives and Senators. The last thing our airline industry needs after years and years of tremendous losses is the TSA driving away millions of passengers who don't want themselves, their wives and their kids inspected nude on a scanner or forced to be sexually molested if they turn down the screening. If fuel prices don't doom our airlines eventually then government regulations will.
