My great grandma who’s 80 gets a pay down every time she goes through security bc she has a titanium rod in her leg and they don’t believe an 80 year old woman when she says it so she’ll either get a pay down or strip searched

I once witnessed something extremely interesting at check in, not security check though. The guy at the counter next to mine was carrying 2 small briefcases made from sort sort of sturdy plastic, with 2 locks on either them. He asked to check them in, had to show his documentation for the very obviously heavily locked briefcases, and then everything halted. Airport police were even called. I really wonder what he was carrying. Probably firearms? I thought it was extremely interesting. I didn't get to find out, because my check-in was a lot faster than his.

Dunno if this helps but I kept getting searched. I discovered my ticket had SSS on it which is apparently a marker indiciating you are going to get searched.

Going through airport security with my cat, Luna, was the highlight of my trips ! One time, the agent asked me what the procedure was for the cat because she wanted to travel with hers... *she* was supposed to verify *I* did it well. Another time, I had to take Luna in my arms to let them check the box, and when he saw the cat, one of the agents ran so fast he jumped over the tables, crying "I'm scared of cats !". But the best of all was that guy. Big strong Tunisian man with a big strong moustache and a big strong frown. Luna meows at him, and the guy suddenly reveals a big smile and starts to have a chat with the cat with a tiny littl voice (yes she talked back). When he realises all his coworkers are looking at him he takes back his frown and states "Yes, Mohamed, Tunisian, 41 years old, loves cats !". He said goodbye to Luna (but not to me !) and didn't smile to anyone after that ! Mohamed, I'll never forget you !

I had to spend a couple of days in Hong Kong, so I only had a carry on. The goons x-ray my bag, then one of them flips out and yells "WHY DO YOU HAVE A KNIFE?" I told him I don't, then he ignorantly yelled at me again, demanding I take it out. The idiot had never seen a fountain pen in his life, stood they like a dimwit as I start writing with it.

I once went through the back and forth line up to security, and saw a Green Bag Packers theme bag on the floor under the divider strip. I thought nothing of it, until it was under the next strip when I'd rounded the corner. And again, and again, moving closer to the security. Then an agent pops up, yells for the bag owner...turns out, this man was just kicking the bag along as he went each time he caught up to it, to not have to carry it, and the agent rearmed him out for that, that you MUST MAINTAIN POSSESSION OF YOUR ITEMS! Someone up the line calls out "Tase him! Make him learn a lesson!"

TSA is security theater. They feel up little kids at airports, but the US gov allows millions of illegals in every year on our southern border.
