TSA suggests you wear clean underpants.

[Soverytired]

Short version:

TSA makes 71 year old man get out of wheel chair, take off his belt, then yank his pants down in full view of the public. When he asked to see a supervisor, the TSA "agent" screamed "I have power, I have power!".

I'm less upset by the actions of the TSA, and more angry that this monsterous perversion is allowed to continue without very massive, intrusive, and public hearings by Congressmen.

So I guess, thank you, oh Democratic Congress, for once again giving me a reason to 1.) wear boxers, not tighty-whities and 2.) always put on a fresh pair, just in case.

**** The TSA

It's time to move into the woods, live in a shack and grow your own vegetables.

I suggest that the TSA eat my shorts, so I guess that makes us even, right?

I think it would be hilarious to go "commando" and when they ask you to drop your drawers, you say "certainly" and then stand there as proud as can be with your hands on your hips.

When it's all said and done, you sue the hell of the federal gov't for unneccesary emotional distress, win millions of dollars, retire from this ridiculous industry and gain the respect of all the women in the security line.

Now please excuse my wand while I slide it up inside ya!

Be sure to position on leg on an elevated surface in order to improve the "wang hang" effect.

How about sporting a pair of those "Jackass" type pants that can be ripped off instantly. Maybe a little dance too, to go along with the inspection.

Aviation and Transportation Security Act
On November 19, 2001 the President signed into law the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA) which among other things established our agency, the Transportation Security Administration, within the Department of Transportation. This Act established a series of challenging but critically important milestones toward achieving a secure air travel system.


Please remind me who was in control of Congress when the TSA was formed.

Stan,
The Republicans controlled the 107th Congress when this bill was passed. Unless there were no Democrats in the Senate where it passed 100-0 or fewer than 46 Democrats in the House where it passed 410-9 (with 14 abstentions), the majority of Democrats in each house voted for it and share the blame. [All 9 No votes were Republicans]

Andy, I know both parties are to blame for the TSA mess, as well as most of the other problems in this country. I was just pointing out to Soverytired that the "Democratic Congress" as he puts it, was controlled by the Republicans and so was the Presidency when this POS bill was passed.

Right after the formation of the TSA, a buddy of mine who was at UAL at the time (now on furlough no. 2) would spread a chocolate bar thru the crotch area of a worn out pair of skivvies; this was when crews were getting the crew bag dump everytime they went through the checkpoint. The soiled skivvies would be laying on top of his crew bag so when he had to unzip it, voila, his own version of a turdfest; he said the look on the TSA jerks was priceless

His bag didnt get checked that often...

It doesn't matter who was in charge when it passed, as virtually everyone voted for it anyway. But there needs to be accountability within the TSA. And there needs to be a way to properly handle the cases where ridiculous things like this happen.
