Re: Want To Photograph Your TSA Ordeal? .........Not So Fast!

My wife and I arrived at the airport for our annual Thanksgiving pilgrimage Tuesday evening, and like millions of others, came face-to-face with the TSA’s upgraded security measures. I breezed through; My wife, who apparently looks far more dangerous than I do, was pulled aside for a pat-down.

Her frisker was very polite and the procedure was barely invasive, if a bit more aggressive than in the past. But while she was being systematically searched from head to toe, I pulled out my BlackBerry to take some pictures and record a souvenir of the Great Gropefest of 2010. Within seconds I was being shouted at sternly by another TSA agent, who told me that “either you stop taking pictures, or I take your camera.” When I asked him why I couldn’t take photos of my wife in a public place, he said that it was “against the rules.”

Being "against the rules" isn't good enough. Ask to see the rule book that says it is against the law.

Funny how the rules keep changing.

Guess they don't like evidence of their assaults.

This

The same reason the police are trying to make it illegal to film them. In some places they have succeeded.

This is what happens when we become a Banana Republic and are no longer governed by the rule of law.

Gestapo. Has Homeland Defense pulled a coup using the TSA?
They certainly don't sound like American citizens.

AIRPORTS

TSA are not airport personnel.

they are contracted

It is to protect their employees from having.g their picture smeared and ridiculed across the web. Would you want that for yourself??? No probably NOT!

Leave TSA workers alone. They are just trying to make a living like the rest of the people in this world. They make very low wages. Go get some balls and pick on the big daddy brains of the privacy invasion instead of low hanging fruit...ie minimum wagers. Yeh, thought so.. you wouldn't dare..... sissy, bully, cowards.

Sitting on a movie theatre, bar stool, library, any public, will get you more cookies than a patdown. Use your brain.
