TSA Harassment again - this time of a mother who is following the TSA's printed rules.

[Timothy W.]

Yet more TSA harassment. This time the harass a woman who requested her breast milk to be screened through the alternative screening methods that the TSA itself advertises. Well they aren't gonna stand for that kind of nonsense!

Before 9/11, airport security was largely handled by private contractors. They were somewhat incompetent, as one can expect from employees getting paid low wages. Bush Jr, who has never had a clue about free markets, decided to nationalize the whole thing and give these people higher government salaries. The result is what one would expect - continuing incompetence but now mixed with the arrogance that comes from a legal monopoly on violence.

Frankly, the only countries where the security people (TSA, cops, etc.) have as poor an attitude as in the U.S. are tinpot dictatorships. It is really quite surprising that we have security staff in such an established and developed democracy with such a poor attitude towards its citizens.
