I recently flew with my family
I went through the detector after everyone else in my party.
There was no beep, but I was instructed to stand in a little box.
I calmly asked the agent what was going on and he told me I had been randomly selected for a search.
I told him I did not want to be separated from my family.
This has worked for me a couple of weeks ago when flying alone with my son.
interesting that I have been "randomly" selected on my last 2 flights... Anyway didn't work this time.
I was patted down thoroughly, but did not receive the enhanced version
Being a civil-libertiestard, I couldn't keep my mouth shut.
When he asked "do u have anything in your pockets" I replied "no. not even my civil rights"
He shrugged it off and said "I don't like this either, but I have to do it."
I replied "it's still wrong"
He then told me about his experience as a soldier and being patted down as well.
I replied "that too was wrong, but were you frisked like a criminal in front of your wife and kids?"
He did not reply and completed everything professionally and courteously
My family, who know me well, were pretty sure I was going to get arrested, but I didn't.
Moral of the story? I don't know. I had a benign experience with a pro, he didn't touch my junk, and he put up with my little comments
In the end, though, I still felt angry, embarrassed and violated.
Oh and for all you rackets, he was black.
This happened in Texas, btw.
Quoting: monkeydogWait a minute in Texas??? Didn't they pass a law that, TSA is not allowed to touch people? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1443979Nope. That bill was abandoned, just as I and others predicted.
