On the bright side, he'll be inconvenienced by court dates and
possibly some jail time.

Um, do you feel the same about avoiding police check points when
driving? Is that MFFY to you as well?

He was probably pissed off at the procedure. I was with my first TSA
experience. Upon entering the Salt Lake airport, NOTHING is said anywhere
about what is allowed on the plane. You were not told a damn thing until
you got into line for the screening.

Without question, they took 3 valuable zippo lighters even though neither
had any fuel. When I dared to challenge, the supervisor came over and told
me, "Yes sir you can have them back and we'll escort you off the
property.".

IOW, TSA has the legal right to steal your property and you have no way of
getting it back, ever. They don't even offer a claim receipt. So if the
agent wants to keep YOUR property, he can. Legally.

Gpstroll is always going to agree with the government. I do believe him
when he said he was in the empire's legions for numerous years. He
demonstrates that 'following orders' mindless stupidity over and over
again. If gpstroll were still in the military he'd likely gleefully run
internal checkpoints demanding to see our papers and stealing our stuff
in the name of "security".

There are a few travellers who like the TSA. They are control freaks who
think they are part of the system. (like gpstroll) They'll learn they
aren't part of the system sooner or later when suddenly they find
themselves on the recieving end of laws, procedures, and/or policies
that they believed would only be used on 'bad' people.

I've posted this before, but it seems relevant here:
