TSA Detains Woman Due to 'Attitude'
I put this article under entertainment because I found it amusing . Perhaps not everyone will .
With video :

A woman who claims the Transportation Security Administration detained her from her flight because the agent didn't like her attitude has posted a video of the confrontation on YouTube.
The 22-second video has 45,000 views as of Monday morning. It is posted under the name AirportVideoofTSA. The person who uploaded the video writes, "I was not allowed to board a plane (even though I had already been through airport security) because I drank my water instead of letting the TSA "test" it. The TSA agent finally admitted that it wasn't because they thought I was a security risk-it was because the TSA agent, Louis Godeaux, was mad at me!"
Though the audio is garbled, the exchange goes like this:
Woman: Do you think I'm honestly a threat? Do you think that?
TSA agent: No, no, no but with your attitude . . .
Woman: Wait, let me get this straight, this is retaliatory for my attitude? This is not making the airways safer, this is retaliatory.
TSA agent: Pretty much, yes. [Inaudible]
Woman: Is that legal?
TSA agent: Yes it is.
ABC News contacted the TSA which said, "In our initial review, we concluded that this individual was screened in accordance with standard procedures."
Though TSA has been testing liquid post-security since 2007, the issue made news last week when a video was posted of TSA agents testing passengers' liquids the airport in Columbus, Ohio.
"The test involves a test strip and a dropper containing a nontoxic solution. In case you're wondering, our officers don't place the test strips in your beverages/liquids," said the TSA's blog.
The incident took place at the Houston airport. The poster said she got out on the next flight. Attempts to contact the person who posted the video were unsuccessful.

Wow, ok?!
Will be looking for an update on this; seems like a case ofharassmentto me.
Harassment ; abuse of authority ; whatever . The fact that the flying public has no recourse is quite disconcerting to me ...
I forsee a lot of role playing games based on this . Imagine going into a sex toys shop and finding a TSA outfit and rubber gloves ...
No recourse at all. And really , where are complaints about the TSA handled? Has a TSA case ever made it to court?
I may have been wrong about no recourse .
Here are a few links about suing the TSA :

Ick.
Mood killer.
Well, for me anyway....
Thanks for the research Rich. I'll look over these links; interesting.
Um, well....my recourse was yanking up my skirt for them when they still wanted to pat down the area where I still had surgical staples in place even after showing documentation of why they were there.
And yes, it was right there in front of everyone.
Ouch !
I can appreciate that . I am surprised at how many seem to enjoy S&M .
Sheeple of ze vorld, ignore zis video. You VILL be assimilated. Resitance IS futile!!
Not that I ever wish to fly again, but if I should, I think I'll hang a 12 inch rubber cock down my leg, and give the TSA the deli scene when they pat it down. Then tell every one "You want this guy to do your patdowns. he was WONDERFUL!!! I just wish he'd kiss me when we were done!"
Or scream rape and proceed ot hammer the motherfucker into paste until my arrest.
Can you fake it as well as Meg Ryan ? I have my doubts ...
SHe has better boobs, and a much cuter smile, but I can do the rest perfectly!
I can't even fake an erection at least not without Viagra ...
I don't need no steenkin' Viagra!
You don't ? OK , here's a scenario : You are supposed to jump the bones [or fat] of Rosie O'Donell . Are you tellin' me you can manage an erection in that situation ?
This is ridiculous!
