Harassed by the TSA at the airport [View All]

We tried to fly out to Phoenix on Friday night. Delta had canceled our flight and re booked us on United because of the storms in Dallas. Because of the sudden change of flights we were deemed a possible security risk and we were patted down. I raised Holy Hell. This woman donned blue plastic gloves and insisted we be patted down.

I yelled at her that I was was outraged what W had done to this country in his histrionics about flying and that I was sick of him and his republicanism. I also asked her to look at my green eyes and Blondie hair and asked her if I looked like a Muslim.

She said Muslims had nothing to do with it. I then asked her if anyone other than Muslims had ever hijacked aircraft and flown them into buildings. She finally left me alone.

I am sick of this paranoia and fear control. A bunch of SAUDI nationals did great damage to this country but I will be damned if I will suffer the privacy intrusion of being "patted down" because of them.
