Man held 20 hours after asking to file TSA complaint
A traveler detained for more than 20 hours after a search of energy bars and a sports watch in his carry-on bag at an airport has sued the Transportation Security Administration and accused a TSA supervisor of lying. (www.wpxi.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
If this isn't further proof that TSA needs some serious and heavy oversight from Congress, I don't know what is.
What a waste of government funding. Put the local police in charge! Give them the training and money for scanners, etc.
What are you nuts? The local police kill people and break things. They are also way over paid with pensions starting at age 50 that pay essentially the same check with medical. TSA receives a pittance compared to local police.
You got that right. Peons have to wait till 66 to get a pittance. Government spending on pensions at all levels is out of control. That Ponzi scheme has driven taxes to the communist level.
I agree that a skilled supervisor was needed. But the Oklahoma City bombing destroyed a building an killed many and involved fertilizer, a timing device and a container (van). Energy bars, packed with an electronic sport watch inside PVC pipe, going thru security? Really?
Search was warranted but it sounds like a TSA power trip came along or something got left out of this story
