You sure about that?

Recent announcements about more intimate TSA pat downs differ with your statement.

TSA to begin

Internal Error

So you don't care about the fact that somebody died in police custody, only that money was paid out to "fake citizens", which they are not they are legitimate?

Border agents are uneducated police-wannabees who couldn't qualify for city police departments.

They're have been many lawsuits, costly in both the financial cost of court-ordered settlements and fines, as well as in the cost of US judicial efforts in fighting these lawsuits.

Can you provide some proof of your statement about uneducated police-wannabees??? Reading through the actual requirements to become a border patrol agent your statement appears to be uneducated at best or just pure BS!

Great, and when does Mexico get the yearly $200 billion dollar bill for their poor that are illegally accessing our Treasury instead of staying in their supposed heaven, Mexico?

Enough. You have no proof of that at all.

Police themselves are poorly trained.

What? That's pretty much their job.

It's sad that someone lost their life, but I'm wondering if the mother--who he wasn't married to--is a citizen, an immigrant, or an illegal. That $1 million would go much farther in Mexico.

Oh they sure would...I had a female TSA officer literally grab me for a pat down a few years ago on Kaui,

Quite the story,

I have to use weekly gamma globulins to replace low IgG levels...they come in small vials...which I infuse with a pump. You typically carry this in a hard side carry on ( so the glass vials and pump don't get smashed)you open up the case, with the doctors note/ prescription placed right at the top,....and run it thru the scan. Pick it up on the other side, zip it up...and go on your way.

This dumb TSA gal made me take it out of the hard case and put it in one of those little plastic dishes...you know, the ones that they provide for small change, perhaps your watch or wallet? Typically you can watch the dish as you walk thru, it usually meets you on the other side of the body scanner...unless there is some sort of back up.

I warned her about the fact that it was glass, and what it would cost BC/BS to replace it if it happened to break....BC/BS has even told patients how to handle the situation, if it should arise.

Well, she did not listen to me, even when I showed her my medical papers and license. The vials were placed in that small dish and put on the belt to go into the scanner... and...guess what....wait for it.....

The agent scanning the bags in front of my drugs abruptly stopped the scanner, the bags behind my drugs crashed into the glass vials, pushing them into the bags in front of my drugs...and the whole thing broke.....6k worth of human plasma..no $h$t!!!

I jumped out of line to try and stop this....and she grabbed me by the shoulder and then started a rather aggressive pat down on me....actually asking me to remove a small foob that I had in my bra( which you can plainly see on the body scanner)...since I had a lumpectomy a few months back and was awaiting my surgery date for my "repair job". She demanded this right out in the open, in front of the other passengers going thru security.

I am one tough bird, ( and a evil witch when I need be, which isn't too often) and pulled the foob right out of my shirt .....she was a short lil gal, so when I yanked it out of my bra, it hit her in the head....stuck right on her forehead before it hit the ground...it was a big ole scene. SNL could have not done it better.

My DH is an attorney, and had gotten ahold of the Hawaiian police by that time...it just happened to be the military police who showed up....and they sided with me on the spot....as there were too many passengers who saw the incident "go down". I think that they were more disturbed about the incident then I was.

I was given the name of the head of TSA, the statement made by the attending officers, and told to call and make a report...and I did. Needless to say, she was let go.... and I have never been stopped again. Just go right thru, open my case...rinse and repeat.

How my health insurance worked out the replacement drug, I don't actually know, but they replaced the drug overnight, and they stated that they would have the tapes pulled to take a look, or something of the sort...

I just wanted to enjoy my holiday...and I did
