Lee and Tuberville Introduce Bill to Abolish the TSA
Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) today introduced the Abolish the TSA Act, which would dissolve the bloated and ineffective Transportation Security Administration while allowing America’s airports to compete to provide the safest...
I was terrorized by them or sure. I don't know if I was on a list, or if they just pull over every woman that has a kid, but EVERY time I few with my toddler, I would get pulled over. I got yelled at by a TSA lady when I asked if, while standing idly around waiting for another agent to come over, if I could go grab my purse off the end of the conveyer so it wouldn't disappear. She yelled at me. She asked me if I wanted to leave my kid with a stranger (her) JUST TO GO GRAB YOUR PURSE? Like I was leaving her with a child molester so I could go get my purse. That's when I knew, they don't even trust themselves. She trusted herself less than she trusted someone who would have intentions of stealing my purse.
I also got pulled out, frisked, drew a crowd as TSA agents swarmed because they "found bomb residue" on my matcha powder package. People were videoing. My daughter cried and asked "are you arresting my Mom?" A TSA agent came over because we were crying (I lost it when she asked that). Trying to be like a victims advocate. I told her she'd cry too if she just left her 80 year old parents and then had all this happen.
They not only let me go at the end, ending the circus they created (they were also pulling all of my things and clothes out one. by. one. Holding them up. Looking at them. Looking for what? I don't know. ). As I walked away, the idiot TSA agent said "Do you want your matcha????" I wanted to yell "I thought it had bomb powder on it!!" but I was afraid the whole thing would start all over again with the word "Bomb" I yelled No, you keep it. Most stupid thing EVER.
Oh I would have gotten mad.
