This stuff pisses me off. Demand a same-sex person, and demand a police officer if the opposite sex gropes you. If they refuse starting yelling rape or he is sexually assaulting me. That is 100% not allowed.
I'm a male and wasn't assaulted, but I had one of the TSA goons try to steal my computer screwdriver kit in Kansas City. He tried to tell me it wasn't allowed, and I produced a paper I printed beforehand that specifically said (from their website) kits like mine were allowed. When he wouldn't give it back I yelled at the cop outside the secured area that the TSA officer (they are NOT agents) was stealing my stuff and he came over. I showed him the paper and showed him the site on my phone and he gave me my kit.
I am TSA-precheck, Global Entry, and at the time I was American Airlines Executive Platinum. I am also a million-miler. I know how to travel and what they can and can't do. I also stopped flying in 2020 and will not fly again until TSA is abolished. I didn't put up with their crap from the beginning. I never went into one of the nudie scanners and made them pat me down if I wasn't able to use the metal detectors. While I was being patted down I would point out the Nuclear Regulatory Commission seal on my polo shirt and tell the officer that he should stay away from those scanners when possible to avoid the inevitable cancer in a few years. Anything I could do to make them the uncomfortable one I would do. It gets exhausting, but it was necessary.
TSA is such a joke and honestly protects very little. They pull aside white males more often than other groups whom you would more normally associate with trouble on planes (if you get my meaning). Probably because TSA is now trained to believe that "white supremacy" is the most dangerous thing on flights.
