The TSA is in great need of training and funding. They have low standards for hiring and with that you get humans who can only take so much from harassing consumers. We need the safety precautions so that we don't have to fear events like 9/11. Some people forget that simple rules can be easily followed so that it all runs smoothly. I fly about 2 times a year. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I always check my guns. I always prepare for pat down or body scan. I know I have nothing to hide so why make a fuss. I hope that they check everyone the same, men, women, children, elderly, no exceptions. This is for the safety of everyone. IMHO.
Ms. Alkon says all sorts of things in this post, but what Ms. Alkon doesn’t tell you is that from the moment she entered our checkpoint, she began making statements such as “TSA gets paid to molest passengers and touch their private areas.” Does that sound like somebody who wants to get through the checkpoint smoothly? No, it sounds like somebody who makes a living by agitating situations and writing about them.
So,the vaunted T.S.A. has added threats to their usual groping.These clowns are a piece of work.Bump to my friends posts.I concur with Gary as I too don't favor either.Seems as though it is the pleasure of both gangs to degrade and harass citizens.

"INTEL HUB" is a waste of time and space. If you see "INTEL HUB" on a story, move on and go find a source that doesn't make up guano as they go along.

TSA is definitely a screwed up organization, but let's be fair and stick with the real infractions.
FYI, here's a link to the TSA's blog entry being referred to:

and an excerpt:

Sound familiar, LEOs?

It doesn't sound like a threat. "infinitesimal " means very very small.
