there's a good chance those TSA Goons did not know who he was. what is surprising is he didn't pay the 200$ to go through the fast lane. (get a background check once a year and you can bypass the enhanced security)

I really don't care whether Henry Kissinger is offended by TSA. I'm offended by it and have been since I learned what it was. I'm so grateful I no longer have to travel for my job! It was bad enough when I still had to immediately after 9/11, but the situation has gone from scary and annoying to absurd and - yes, offensive.

The trouble with trying to prevent anything bad from happening is that it gives a false sense of security, while making everyone else's life a living hell. Punish all the decent people, meanwhile the true villains are calculating how to get around all the security measures, and no doubt will at some point. Then the measures will be stepped up even more.

There's no such thing as a perfectly safe world. We need to get over 9/11 and get on with life instead of living in fear letting the terrorists win! TSA is a terrorist WIN, the way I see it.

agreed!!!

True. But there are a number of TSA agents that are unregistered sex offenders.
