4. Sounds pretty stupid, for sure.

How often do such incidents occur, I wonder. I've never seen anything like on any of the many flights I have taken since the TSA was put into place. What I've seen is a fairly simple system to get through. I've had a few pat downs, had my carry ons screened, and other minor delays, but that's it. Each time, I was told why and the process took just a few minutes.

I suspect that situations like this one are very, very rare. There may be even more to the story that wasn't presented by this particular website. I don't know. Anonymous isn't known for its accuracy in representing things like this, quite frankly, nor is theantimedia.org, the original source of the story. Both are anti-government advocacy sites, pretty much.

I still fly. I will continue to fly. My experiences have been fine, overall.
