I was violated by the TSA

So let me preference this by saying, I am not bashing anyone's lifestyle, people are free to do as they please. However, some folks are meant for certain jobs. That being said, let me begin my story. Today I was flying home and like everyone I was faced with jumping through the usual hoops that the TSA forces on weary travelers. Take off your suit coat, take off your shoes, take out your lap top, remove everything from your pocket, blah blah, blah blah just strip down buck naked. Well I made up that last part but you get the drift. Being that I had been traveling since 6:15am, I was tired and well, I made the dreadful mistake of not removing my belt and proceeded to walk towards the death ray machine. As I stood in the machine and the glass doors moved around me I thought, damn, I forgot to take off my belt, this will not end good. Well I didn't just think of the belt, I was also thinking of how many x-rays were going into my body, why do I have to hold my arms up like I am being stuck up. But I digress. As I began to step out of the machine I was told that my torso had been flagged...damnnitt I knew it. So I did what every logical person would do, I pulled off the belt and handed it over to the agent. In my mind, I thought, now they are going to make me go back through this damn machine and thus will continue their efforts to deep fry my pancreas, liver, kidneys etc. This is the point where the comedy began, I was informed that my infraction would result in a full body pat down. Now let me pause this story, becuase I think its important to note who and what is telling me about the pat down. Since words won't work in some instances, sometimes a picture speaks volumes:

well it was one of these guys...let's move on. So this dude begins by rubbing my arms, I am uncomfortable at this point, but what can I do. Next he lets me know he needs to pat down my chest. Okay so dude does 4 individual rubs on my chest...at this point being uncomfortable is now moving towards becoming angry. Only if it had stayed at that point. This dude begins to reach inside my waistband, yes my waistband...so I blanked for about 12 seconds and when I came back to, I had his arm jacked up behind his head. I was like oh. oh, looks like I am about to go to jail......well I will stop the story here, because it becomes a bunch of "look I didn't mean too's, and he provoked me and come on I just want to get homes.....

At any rate, I thought I would share, NOT EVERYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO WORK EVERY JOB, DISCRIMINATION BE DAMNED....

I was flying to minnesota and I forgot to take out my 12" hunting knife from my book bag (I went camping 1 week prior). TSA agent pulled me aside and we both started looking for my knife. We found it, he took the knife and wished me a safe flight. I was surprised how easy he let me go... because I had 2 indian dudes with me that look like Pakistanis... Go figured.

people have more rights at airports/tsa encounters than they are aware of. probably should have asked the nature of the pat down, and also for another agent.

hopefully nothing happened to you [legally, physically, or psychologically]. i will say this, though, don't try flying any time soon.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      If the losses were him not stepping up in key situations then it'd be a disappointment.

      I'm well versed in the minutiea of the Canes radio broadcast system... lol I've been back in WNC for about 15 years now. And, until very recently, we would only get Predators games on the RSNs out here. So, radio was the only option for me to keep up with the team. These were the dark years, too. Maybe, once a year, you'd get to see us get smashed on national TV by some original 6 powerhouse. If you were really lucky, Jeff Skinner would bless you with one of his absolutely stunning pirouette passes to nowhere, before Wardo toppled over off his head, giving up a goal on his 70th shot faced that night for an inspiring 1-0 loss. But, that story sounds a whole lot cooler when Chuck Kaiton is telling it to you in real-time with the raspy drawl of a calving heifer! Before TuneIn or the Canes apps even existed, I used to have to find the one spot out in the back yard, where the hills and trees parted just right, that I could pickup 730(?)AM The Buzz all the way out in Catawba county. I'd sit in the shadow of the mighty Appalachians, staring out at the stars and getting high with stray cats, while being serenaded by the worst hockey you've never seen played in your life. That all, finally, started to change around the time TD bought the team. Part of that is due to the new NHL TV contracts and the constant reorganization of the RSNs themselves. Part, was me breaking up with that feral cat and moving to LKN to escape all the painful memories. The march of progress, and all that... I will say though, as much as I've criticized Dundon and as much as I loathe the existence of billionaires on principle, he has done an exceptional job of improving the fan experience, on the whole. Working with the league to expand the coverage map and bringing in outdoor games and all-star weeks has been huge. But, improving the quality on the ice (and of the ice) for all levels of hockey across the state has been even bigger! I forgot where I was going with all this, but... I'll still never forgive him for retiring Chuck K, though! HEY, HEY, WHADDYA SAY!!!!
