TSA Question

[ChrisC]

So you are saying, once again, "Bush's fault"?

Nope, just stating a fact. But of course you and others will interpret it how ever you want.

But if you are asking who's fault it was that the TSA was created, then yes, that is Bush's fault. Just like it is Obama's fault for expanding on the Patriot Act which was made law by Bush.

my shooting bag is my carryon. its been swabbed more than once and never had a hit

I knew of one guy who set off the chemical detector every time he flew. He simply showed the TSA guys his FEL (Federal Explosives License) and explained that he worked at the Borax Mine in Boron, CA, handling explosive every day, and they let him through.

I think after the first couple of positive hits, they had his name in the system, as they checked him with the swab every time he flew.

I've had it happen twice before I ever owned guns (only been a gun owner for 2yrs now)

Both times at the screening after X-Ray and both times in SF International. The first time I also got screened again in the boarding line. The guy said it's just random.

Both times took 10 seconds or less and I was on my way.

Maybe it was my hair gel

Thanks for all the replies gentlemen, the TSA employee was polite to me , but I was a little nervous. You just never had this happen before that's all😃

They don't allow electric drills, or other power tools, in your carry-on either! I now know this!

But BHO has a phone and a pen...right?

Typically - Once in the back room -

They perform a lobotomy -

Take out your spine -

Then remove your testicles.

Making you the perfect TSA employee.................

You aren't the perfect TSA employee until you have your first felony.

I have to go for the extra tests every time I fly as my artificial leg sets off the beeper every time. I let them know ahead of time so they don't panic.
