re: TSA says you must turn on electronic device before boarding- or it/you can't fly

The TSA can suck my balls.

talk about a burden on the American society, we're paying for them to rob us of our rights for a goal that they cannot accomplish. They are woefully inept at their job as it is. The TSA is nothing more than the fat cow at mcdonalds with authority.

Apparently it is OK to get on the plane and show up two weeks later and blow something up just like walking across the Mexico border.

Anyone who has traveled enough internationally can tell you that this is an absolute farce.

TSA is a laughing stock.

TSA has got to be some kind of grandiose ruse. What an abortion.

He is from Thibodeaux. He thinks TSA stands for Thibodeaux Sanitation Administration.

if you decline their rape/pat down, and opt not to take the flight, they will have you detained and try to force you to comply through misrepresentations of law and threats. They are the scummiest of scum.

I heard Penn Jillette give an anecdote about refusing a pat down and opting to charter a private jet (I wish I had frick you money like that) they bullied him and despite his protests did it anyway. He called the cops and filed assault charges against the employee.

I know they were just offering him up dumb shite as recompense (apparently they're too stupid to figure out that a man who can afford a private jet isn't satisfied by trinkets and discounts)but I'm not sure what came of it...probably nothing

laughing stock doesn't begin to describe it. I just flew international, but the dumbest par for the course instances were all domestic

- I had a random inspection of my bag and she didn't realize that there was an equally large compartment that existed...the giant zipper should've been a big clue. I guess I could've put anything in there.
- At a separate screening (returning to the US after rechecking luggage) They told me I had to submit my wallet to x ray screening because it has compartments. I told them I didn't because I was concerned they'd steal it and pointed out that if that is the case, anyone wearing clothing with pockets should strip and put them through. According to the white kid with dreads, I'm a racist for the stealing comment even though 2 of the 5 imbeciles working the security line were white.

frick I just hate them. It is every American traveler's duty to be complete dicks to them.

I've never had one problem with TSA. I don't see the big deal

Then you must not have flown anytime in the past 13 years, and certainly no where outside of the country. Chinese customs are literally less of a pain in the arse than the TSA.

I'm not sure where Thibodeaux is baw. I have flown 6 times in the last 3 months and haven't stood in line longer than 20 minutes and haven't had to do anything other than take off my shoes and belt

I say a minimal security check is better than none at all

1. No we don't.

2. That is neither here nor there.

3. It's not even remotely the same type of safety situation.

You're an idiot.
