Just reading this raised my hackles.

The only thing I really feel like saying is "I'm sorry", as you'll never get any sympathy from this system's enablers.



Some of those enablers are posting in this very thread. Instead of feeling shocked and even somewhat embarrassed at the state of their nation, they denigrate the author's ordeal - minimizing his trauma, denying his mental recall, and ultimately blaming him for causing a TSA test to issue a false positive... all while ignoring the common courtesy that should have been afforded to the accused. Give the guy a drink of water. Treat him with respect. Get him on another flight. Notify him that you searched his apartment.

It's all sad and disgusting.


Thanks. Even though it's not coming from the TSA/FBI/et al., it means a lot.


Brave of you to share. Hope you get your photo back soon and some free flyer miles or something. You deserve better. We all do.
