Oh i agree with that. It's a total grope fest. I was grabbing a flight home, from i forget where the hell i was. I had been traveling so much i forgot where i was the week before, but i digress. In front of me there was this knock out blonde. They made her go through the body scanner, and i went through the metal detector. well i went through, and it didn't set it off. She went through the body scanner. and they "found something." The pat down was way overboard. I mean, this TSA agent was all over her (female of course), everyone, just stopped, watched and thought "Damn!" It was almost like one of those lesbian prison movies. There are pat downs, and there is straight up improper. this was the latter.

you really know what borks the hell out of me. Is the lack of consistency between TSA agents. I travel a lot, and working in IT I usually keep a screw driver in my backpack, along with miscellaneous other things that i use in my job, external dvd drive, cables, etc. Now in the past year and a half i have flown in and out of this airport about 120 times. I had a nice electricians screw driver for the longest time. I looked up on the TSA website, and the longest screw driver you can carry on is 7". Now my screw driver was right at the max. I questioned the TSA agent when they told me they were going to take it. She told me it was 7" long, and i was "what's the max length i can carry on?" Their reply, "7 inches." So what's the problem? "It's our policy..." And their supposed to take any liquids that arent in that 1 qt plastic bag, and confiscate them. Can't tell you how many times i've seen people get through security with a bottle of water in their coat pocket or carry-on bag. Enough of me ranting, this article is about money. That senator is right, it should go to the USO or maybe some charity where it can do some good because i think you can throw as much money as you want at the TSA, but you can't fix stupid.
