Daniel Rubin: An infuriating search at Philadelphia International Airport.  Why am I not surprised?  $8000.00 MIA.

That same screener started emptying her wallet. “He was taking out the receipts and looking at them,” she said.

“I understand that TSA is tasked with strengthening national security but [it] surely does not need to know what I purchased at Kohl’s or Wal-Mart,” she wrote in her complaint, which she sent me last week.

She says she asked what he was looking for and he replied, “Razor blades.” She wondered, “Wouldn’t that have shown up on the metal detector?”

In a side pocket she had tucked a deposit slip and seven checks made out to her and her husband, worth about $8,000.

Her thought: “Oh, my God, this is none of his business.”

Two Philadelphia police officers joined at least four TSA officers who had gathered around her. After conferring with the TSA screeners, one of the Philadelphia officers told her he was there because her checks were numbered sequentially, which she says they were not.

“It’s an indication you’ve embezzled these checks,” she says the police officer told her. He also told her she appeared nervous. She hadn’t before that moment, she says.

She protested when the officer started to walk away with the checks. “That’s my money,” she remembers saying. The officer’s reply? “It’s not your money.”

Damn, your kids aren’t safe either.  Geez, it sounds like Janet strikes again.  Not only is the border the safest evah, but so are the airports!  Now, don’t go taping these assclowns because now they are going to confiscate your camera.

In defense of scanners, guess who was flying with POTUS at the time?

The TS of A.

Somehow, patting down disabled, elderly improves security.

To find the needle, reduce the haystack.

Strip instead of getting a quickie.

Anthony, this one is for you.
