Another TSA foul up

Posted by David Hardy · 11 May 2006 05:01 PM

TSA screeners detain and pat down Marines in dress uniforms escorting a fallen comrade. I guess they met some profile. Reminds me of the time they hassled Joe Foss over his Congressional Medal of Honor ... it had sharp points! He must have met the profile, too -- an 80 year old fellow in a suit, Marine, retired Air Force General, former governor, on his way to speak at West Point. He was particularly upset that neither the screeners nor a couple of National Guardsmen nearby knew what a Medal of Honor was -- he called over their superior officer and gave him a world-class dressing down in front of everyone.

I was on the flight and he told me about it on arrival, so I tipped a buddy who knew the local AP reporter...

Better beware of how much dressing down you do in light of the recent 6th cir opinion Rendon v TSA. 424 F3rd 475 (6th Cir 2005)

Court held that if your conduct- which was vebal in this case- prompts the screener to shut down the check point you are subject to a fine.
