11/14/10. Refused security = $10,000 fine

and possible civil suit?

Folks have been surrendering their dignity in the name of safe air travel for years. Most of the time, this happens without incident. But John Tyner, who was scheduled to fly from San Diego's Lindbergh Field to South Dakota for a hunting trip on Saturday, drew the line when he was asked to submit to either a full-body scan or a very personal pat-down.

As a consequence, he was threatened with a civil suit and a $10,000 fine if he left the airport's secured area. . . .

The good thing for him is that he can drive to his destination.

Love it. Found my new signature line. Stupid smurfs.



"You touch my junk and I'm going to have you arrested."

I think this guy planned it so he could be in news. He turns his video camera on before going through security and leaves it running the entire time. Then he post it all on Youtube.

Im really looking forward to the new Nuremburg Trails after all this shakes out.

So? Did he do something wrong?

that guy had the whole thing planned - pains me to say this but I have to side with the smurfs here.

On another note, WRT the hand patting in the "junk" area, just wait until smurf bends down to pat your leg in the rear and rip off a nice big fart right when their head level is at your waist height.

I got my first Dr. Ballbag Grabber inspection recently, loudly (in full uniform) said "watch it pervert" and then looked at a family coming through the security line and said "he's up in my shaft". Classic, thank you Hangover! Smurf was purple faced.

I don't know all the details,...but who's to say you can't just refuse the air transportation route, do a 180, and rent a car to South Dakota??? What am I missing here???

It seems to me that Janet Napolitano has herself an issue that is not going to go away.
