Geez you lazy idiots... What is life for if you can't take a couple extra minutes for french press coffee... Fresh roast, fresh grind, fresh soul.

I wonder what would happen if you went through airport security wearing a T-Shirt that said "TSA Touched my balls"

I am not a TSA apologist, but you need to know the backstory on this. The kid has a sensory disorder and his mother was afraid he would freak out from being touched, so she spent about 30 minutes trying to convince them to not give the kid a pat-down, to the extent she insisted that two police officers be called and eventually be there to witness the pat down in case her kid freaked out so that he wouldn't get arrested. Also, her kid had packed a laptop in his luggage and "forgot" to take it out, which separately sent up a red flag.

So the reason this pat down is so fucking deliberate and drawn out is that the mother and the kid did everything possible to make themselves appear suspicious, but also to indicate that the mom was ready to file charges against the TSA. So this guy is making sure to do a very, very thorough pat down precisely because the woman spent so very, very long insisting that her kid should not get a pat down, after he had tried to send his laptop around the scanner in a carryon bag.

From this video, it appears that the woman doesn't give her kid enough credit. If she had just shut up and let the TSA do their normal 10-second pat down, none of this would have happened.

I fly a few times A year and I have never had a negative interaction with TSA. They've never even patted me down. The videos I see online piss me off like everyone else, but I've not had it happen to me so far. What happens if you refuse or punch a TSA agent? I don't imagine I'd have much patience for this if it was my kid.

I know, I know....I used to. Alright, I'm going to Costco and getting a maker. I should not be living like this. you're right. No more.

Seriously. They aren't much money either.

Jesus, it wasn't that bad.

Disband the TSA hang pelosi's goons from all the bridges going into DC.

I can't even look at those TSA videos anymore. It's disgusting what we have allow to happen in this country.

We need to end the TSA. I always opt out of the scanners for health/safety reasons and to remind everyone in the vicinity what the TSA does.

The pat down in the video is pretty much the standard operating procedure I've received several times. Unfortunately, you can't expect the TSA agent to unilaterally wave the kid through if our "statesmen" legislators (and the electorate behind them) don't have the spine to take responsibility for shutting down the TSA when there's any remote possibility of another plane-based attack occuring--even though it's just security theater that doesn't actually impede any moderately sophisticated but determined attackers.

What happens at the end?

A 2 minute pat down is 1 minute and 50 seconds too long. I can walk out my kitchen down the driveway pick up my newspaper walk back inside, sit down and read the headlines before my 2 minute microwave coffee is done.
