“He stood with his suit jacket off, and he was wearing suspenders,” Matthew Cole, a freelance reporter, told the Post. “They gave him the full pat-down. None of the agents seemed to know who he was.​

Of course they didn't know who he was

Someone who should be in prison?

Someone who should be in prison?

For abandoning known US POWs deliberately left behind in Vietnam? Definitely.

 

[Itchy]

I didn't even think he was alive.

 

[///AMG]

Agreed. They should have given him a cavity search too. I'd think having them not know who he was would have been the worst part for him.

 

[drunkenbeagle]

Still probably the smartest American Statesmen there will ever be - read a few of his books, they do offer much insight into the world.

 

[///AMG]

He was/is gifted at solving challenging problems, and introducing new ones

 

[Van_Hoolio]

He's a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Ha ha ha ha. TSA.

Oh hell, I got a full putdown in FRA a few days ago.

Wah.

I flew the jet even.

Well, that is reasonable. I mean, what if you were to go and hijack yourself?!?! We cannot have that.

 

[exneophyte]

I can't say I'd be able to identify Kissenger by looking at him. Once I saw his name though, I'd know exactly who he was.

 

[moxiepilot]

Must be a slow news day

That would be awkward!

Besides, my overall question is why Kissinger, if he set off the metal detector, why in the world would anyone expect him to be exempt from additional screening?

He was the National Security Advisor & Secretary of State? Would be kind of like giving Hillary Clinton or Dick Cheney additional screening - seems kind of ridiculous.

I don't know if you noticed, but for the most part, the TSA doesn't really do anything a reasonable person would do in regards to determining whether or not someone is a threat and deserving additional screening.

I had to read that twice.

Cheneys known to shoot his own friends in the face, all the more reason to pat him down!

Coming back from vacation out of Brussels on Monday, I felt like I needed the security guy at the airport to buy me breakfast and a cigarette after that "pat"-down was over with. By FAR the most invasive and touchy/groapy security check I've ever had.

But you went through twice!

I know a good thing when it happens.
