Ah yes, the old "we were only following orders" defense.
Yet another reason not to fly any more.
I hope she crapped in it first.
She did.
Customs officials have always had carte blanch about what they can do, and the TSA just took that attitude, "shut up and do as we say" to a higher level because terrorism gives them the excuse to do it. They are a bunch of jerks, I think. TSA is the main reason I try not to fly anymore. This one needs to be on the national news, and Congress needs to reign these people in.
