Comment on At the airport. The TSA thought my daughter's Hello Kitty carry-on was suspicious. [More in body.]

I hate TSA, fucking security theater. I recently had a trip to a doctor that involved flying and going there was fine. I need a wheelchair because I can’t walk long distances, like I can’t even do grocery shopping anymore, but I can walk short distances. I went through the scanner, no fuss. But coming back home, TSA asked me if I could use the scanner. I told them I could. They decided to do a pat down instead, a very thorough pat down while I remained in the wheelchair. I was trying to avoid a pat down, I’ve had some SA in the past and do not like being touched. They let me go after the pat down and I tried to avoid being upset. I felt molested but what can I do? That was some real BS.

And then we came out the other end at Heathrow. We didn’t even have to talk to a customs agent. It was all done with a machine. Such a difference from the ridiculous nonsense.
