TSA Breaks 10 AE Aircraft in ORD

[txpilot1974]

I have had 3 surprise TSA inspections in the last 2 days where they come onto the aircraft during a turn and want to look around. It has been a year or so since the last one. Just another way to waste taxpayers money I guess.

I swear the next time a TSA inspector comes on my plane, I'm gonna deny him and call airport police...

"I'm sorry officer, but that guy's badge looked way too fake and funny to be real. Please check him out, thank you."

Trying to protect us or kill us? I hope that ALPA, APA or AA this to the max. Good thing this got caught on the preflights. OH its just a tat probe or AOA vane.......Just after take-off "STALL" "STALL"

They used the probe to hoist there fat butts up to the jet bridge on one a/c. It was about 10 to 12 a/c damaged and 31 delayed kickoff flights.

I am sure the TSA will be paying for damage and lost revenue. Which should be over 7.1 m.

On the contrary, why does 7/11 have locks on their doors if they are open 24/7??

Because the lone store clerks have to go to the bathroom every once in a while?

Alarming

Make sure you ask them to take off their shoes..... I have done it, it gets some weird looks, until they realise you are serious!! It makes up for the trouble of bothering you in te first place.

This is just amazing, hopefully Trans States files charges.

Why would Trans States file a suit for damage to 10 American Eagle airplanes on the ramp in ORD by the Transportation Security Administration...Re-read the title

This pissed me right off. I urge everyone to go to www.tsa.gov ,"complaints", and complain.

 

[jeroom]

The website says: "TSA, your safety is our priority"
Scary isn't it???
What ya'll think about this slogan??

They should have stuck to just naming some liquids!

 

[updraft]

[atlcrashpad]

Do y'all ever seal the door with the little red stickers?

Skuse me.... but I thinks dem red sticka's won't keep no bodies out...... sep Honust peoples......... bouyyyyyyy...

I'm just waiting for the story about one who decided to play with the center of the ice detector probe a few times...

This is why the smaller 50-seat jets should be replaced with E170s. The TSA chimps can't quite reach the larger jets.

I guess we better add "NO STEP" stickers next to all probes.

I guess we better add "NO STEP" stickers next to all probes.

Better just use a picture. Your fancy words might not do the trick.

The aircraft pictured are Saabs, I can't tell from the write-ups, is that the aircraft this happened to?
