You have a high tolerance and have not had unusually bad experiences. Congratulations? You might as well tell me that your Ford Pinto never caught fire. What is your point? Your post isn't even self-consistent. Right after you get done telling me that they are perfect gentlemen you tell me that they have disdain for me as a customer and that by making them feel uncomfortable as they grope me, I am making it worse? Huh? I thought they were perfect gentlemen...

Actually I've never been groped or had any of these supposedly horrible experiences. I'm stating that I've treated all of the TSA employees with respect, and I've received it in return. I've had no reason to treat them otherwise since they were always just doing their jobs and not these outlandish horrible people that keeps being portrayed as the norm. These stories are outliers. If you are going to approach them out of the gate and treat them like shit, well guess what, expect to not be treated with a warm fuzzy. It's human nature.

  I absolutely dig all the people in this thread trying to discredit the problems other people have had with the TSA by saying "well they never groped me ..." Do you doubt that they grope others? Do you think we're making this up? The assertion is not that the TSA has treated you, res0nat0r, like shit. Telling us that you have not been treated like shit is a refutation of approximately fuck all.

    I think my point is that: There is no doubt people have been groped or treated what they think is unfairly. Something like that happening is an emotional issue, and therefore I think these things are blown out of proportion in relation to their actual number of occurrences. So while this does happen I don't think it happens as much as you'd like it to believe statistically speaking. This type of harassment being a normal across the board policy of the TSA is what I take issue with because I don't believe it to be true.

      I think we can all agree that we'd all like it to happen exactly 0 times. Statistically speaking. Currently its way more than 0 times. It can only be made lower if people push to make it lower, rather than your stance of "its never happened to me". PS: all my interactions with the TSA have been fine. There was a moment at LAX when I had to explain why there would be liquid inside my juggling balls..... but we got through it.
