Re: TSA Now Wants To Test Your Drinks- At The Gate!!
As a flight attendant, I'll tell you that most incidents on planes that require police intervention, emergency landings and injuries are due to passenger who are drunk. Instead of checking drinks, eliminate the bars in airports and TSA wouldn't have to bother with this.

I'm not a big TSA supporter, they harrass me everytime I go through too, even though I've been through more security clearance than they have(FBI background check, fingerprinting,ect).

Dealing with drunks is the worst, especially in the air. But they won't eliminate the alcohol as long as the airlines and vendors in the airports are making hordes of money from it.

rofl. Original article smells like BS to me.

"people on the street are usually shills." Hell, that's almost in keeping with the original definition of a shill.

Re: TSA Now Wants To Test Your Drinks- At The Gate!!
This happened to me - I bought a Coke from a kiosk right by the gate so I'd have it for the flight and TSA pulled me aside and made me open it to test it. I asked them why they didn't check the Coke guy when he delivered the stuff - if it was dangerous why wouldn't they stop it at the point of bringing it into the airport rather than the point of taking it out of the airport...... I was pretty miffed about it.

My guess would be that they suspect that there may be people that would bring in some type of material that is inert until it is placed in a liquid. Either that or they are cracking down on drunks putting booze from the bar into their "soft drinks" and getting trashed on the flight. Mind you, these are just an educated guess.

TSA wouldn't say what they're testing for or why they're doing it, travelers say they have right to know the rules at the airport. They understand why drinks are not allowed through security, but when they buy one while they wait for their flight, they say the TSA shouldn't ask to test it.

Passengers say traveling is a big enough stress, but now some are worried the drinks they are getting are not safe.

The TSA wouldn't say what they're testing for or why they are doing it, but travelers say they have a right to know.

"I'm always glad that my safety is a priority, I just think testing drinks after they've already been bought might be a little extreme," infrequent flyer Jennifer Smart said.

"The water or or the juices or anything you buy here in the airport, TSA is going to come over and look and check and test it? That's just ridiculous," world traveler Thomas Burgard said.

First, they sell you a drink, at the airport, after you have already been thoroughly searched/patted down/fondled. Then, they want to sample that same drink that you bought, at the airport, after you have already been thouroughly searched/patted down/fondled.

I can see why they might test open drinks, but those NOT opened?

Sounds to me that during training, the TSA people were told to check beverages at the gate, and some TSA idiot didn't realize they meant opened containers only.

Re: TSA Now Wants To Test Your Drinks- At The Gate!!
I flew recently, after refusing to fly for a long long time. Circumstances were such I didn't have much choice so I flew.

When I got to the checkpoint, I was shocked that EVERYONE was willingly going through the radiation machines and not opting out. Are Americans such suckup fucking sheep? wow.

I opted out of course but didn't get a pat down because I was with a child under 12, They searched my bags though, and threw out the milk I had bought for my child.

Then later when we were sitting at the terminal waiting to board, some lady came through and went beeline for us and had the dog sniff our bags.

Why were you trying to bring milk tbrough when it is a pretty well-known fact that liquids and gels are prohibited over 3oz? And even if you didn't know before going to the airport, there are probably 10 signs at each checkpoint that tell you this and announcements over the loudspeaker.

I have no beef with opting out of the body scanner, but you act like they singled you out by taking your liquids away from you when that rule has been in place for years now.
This is a main reason why people miss their flight.

Last month I had a layover in Houston. When we boarded to flay to LAX right after the agent took our boarding pass, I was stopped entering the skyway by 2 TSA agents who swabbed the end of my straw and also my daughter drink from the starbucks right there in the terminal.
I can personally confirm that this report is true!

I didn't pack it, kid's mom packed it after I told her not to. It doesn't matter to me at anyway, I think everyone should pack liquids in addition to opting out so it will gum up their stupid checkpoints and force them to get rid of the the idiotic no liquids over 3 ounce rule. Fuck them.

Besides, we have no idea who is cleaning the planes or working in baggage/cargo area, so they can place whatever they want on the plane. But it seems like the terrorists want to go down with the plane so they can have those virgins on the other side. They're are coming to a gate area near you...
