TSA is a joke. I fly a couple times a month for work and then a couple times a year for vacations. I had double knee replacements and thus have been triggering metal detectors for over 5 years. Although I will admit that the majority of TSA agents are professional, on average I would say about 25% of them need to get new jobs and about 10% of them need to be arrested for the criminal things they do. My sister has a implanted defibulator and thus can't go through the metal detector and she also travels for her job. We have compared notes and her experiance is about the same as mine. We have both dealt with treats of being arrested when we did nothing more than request that the agent adhere to their own regulations. We have both been groped in our private parts by TSA agents. On one of my recent trips I advised (politely) ahead of time that if I felt like she touched me inappropriately that I would report it. Her hand touched me in a place that all the TSA regulations say they are not supposed to touch so I said something to her. I asked for her supervisor and he tried scaring me into not filing a report. Asking my name and flight number and trying to make me think that I was going to be in trouble for filing a report. The head of the TSA says that only a small percentage of people are subject to the groping, but what he falls to point out is that the majority of that "small" percent are people with disabilities and/or medical devices. These people are subjected to being asaulted EVERY time they fly. They are either assulted by the groping or assulted by having to subject themselves to radiation and having strangers looking at their naked bodies on video screens. TSA tells you that you have a "choice" not to fly. In my case that means I have a "choice" to quit my job in order to avoid the TSA assaults. Yea, that's a choice alright - be unemployed or subject myself to the the TSA assaults. I have written both my senators and my congressman twice and only received a single response from on congressman. And his response was a joke. What do they care, they can get around the TSA attacks.
