:yeahthat:
Instead of whining about not taking it the hat/ scarf/ toupee/ wig off......request a private screening. Make it more of a hassle to the TSA. Instead of making a big scene, you could've just initiated the private screening process and END OF STORY.
Also, I don't doubt the TSA person was a b!tch. They are out of control w/ their power-trip attitudes.
However, let's not forget here......It was a bunch of Islamists that got this whole TSA ball rolling. And now, before you get your panties in a bunch, I'm not saying ALL Islamists are terrrorists but you need to understand, not all Americans care about Islamist practices or beliefs. We don't know your scarf isn't a HAT.
The way I see it, you have two choices DEAL W/ IT THE BEST YOU CAN or DON'T FLY. It's completely up to you. But if you think I'm going to learn about every religion or foreign custom just so your little feelings don't get hurt, YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR MIND!
For the record, I don't like the TSA nonsense either! They're a bunch of idiots and we are no safer today than we were 6 years ago.
Sayy what? Private screening for what?!
There's no rule about taking off a scarf? She said that she beeped, that's why she had to take it off. The whole point wasn't about the scarf, if need being, we would of requested private screening, IN A ROOM. It's that she said she beeped that required her remove her "hat."
Now, yeah, not everyone knows the difference between a hat and a scarf..
But comon, she could of used some proper terms. If i dont know the word for what white people call canes (if i didnt know it was canes) i wouldnt say "hey can you move your stick."
Theres a proper way about going with business. If she was polite and politely asked to remove her head piece, i would of been cool with her to tell her private room please. But she was blatently rude, and changed her story saying she beeped, when no beeping occurred.
I dont know what the whole relevance of "islamists (by the way, it's islamic; if you want to address those who believe in Islam, they're muslims) got the whole ball rolling" has anything to do with this?
It's like saying, "hey just remember, it was white people who had slaves...i'm not saying it was your fault, but it was your kinda peoples fault.." kinda bs.
Lets keep relevance however. She didnt follow through very well. The TSA is a joke before the issue anyways.
I do have to say, i almost beat down on some old hag on my flight to Iran. While i was being secondary searched (who'm was actually really nice) some old hag came over and picked up a wand that was sitting on the table while i was sitting down and looks at my screener and starts wanding my head and said "make sure he doesnt have any rasor blades in his hair" and started joking. After giving her a piece of my mind, i asked the screener if he wanted to keep control of his work objects which he just shrugged and said "whatever."
