I'm not surprised. I haven't flown in several years but the last time I watched the TSA finger through the paper bills in my wallet and my credit cards. I protested and said they had no right to actually stand there and count my $$. They said they did. Bottom line is I don't fly anymore because I choose not to allow my 4th Amendment rights to be routinely violated. YMMV.
The TSA is the first arm of Obama's "brown shirts", IMO. We are being conditioned to accept these violations of our persons and our papers.
I would be stuck with a "patdown". I will lose it and shove them away from me and probably get arrested for something they make up. No thanks. I won't let my rights be violated silently.
And "Brown shirts" is the RIGHT word. Remember they came first. They were just thugs and could be counted on to act badly if pointed the right way. They responded perfectly to propaganda. Later when their purpose had been served they were eliminated before they could fight back, like their victums.
It's not working very well on me. I guess I'm a slow learner...
Remember the TSA IS keeping a list of "potential terrorists" who have to go through full screening each time, just in case. If you refuse them or get in your way, be a "problem", you get on their list.
I'm sure there is a master list of all sources of people who are "slow learners" too. Of course, push it a little and see who pushes back and you know who isn't going to buy it later.

Sorry there was no article with that YouTube video but I'm sure tomorrow or the next day there will be something on World Net Daily or the Drudge Report or Info Wars before it gradually makes it to mainstream media. Up until now this is what the TSA has been premitted and not permitted to do. I don't think photo copying and swiping credit cards has ever been standard procedure.
Was I right or was I right about the fact that the media would pick up on this? It didn't even take 24 hours for articles to come out on this and other forum posters picked up and even stole my headline to get threads going on their forums.
The Internet is great for getting news out. Who needs the major media any more? They are the LAST to pick up on anything important that relates government abuses against us.
How in the world can this happen and people not have their credit used and I.D. stolen by TSA staff????? This is WAY WAY WAY out of control!
I think if everyone of us isn't on the phone to our congressman and senators and local legisators at least on a weekly basis INSISTING that this invasive behavior be STOPPED IMMEDIATELY we aren't doing our duty as good American citizens. WE should do it on a daily basis and also call into local radio talk shows etc and tell everyone. This has got to stop.
TSA is a federal agency. Just like all federal agencies, they make the laws, not congress.

I'm looking forward to the lawsuit against the TSA which has already been filed. I'll be watching to see what the pretty news crew on tv have to say about it. I suspect it will get the 30 second quicky so they can talk about the latest sports for ten minutes. A lot of people do not read the print media either online or in print and its the pretty faces with their smirks that they know. No wonder we are slipping so fast.
