I sympathize with her plight but my owner and I travel for business several times a month for him and at least every 5 weeks for me. I have been detained with a cat in one arm and my 8 year old in the other...over stupid stuff. I'd rather the inconvenience and overzealousness of the TSA than the alternative.

The alternative to being treated like a Slave?

Me, I'll take Freedom and Liberty.

Do you BELIEVE in the KGB/DHS/TSA Security Theater?

Well, people believe in Tinker Bell, too.

Listen, the rules are simple,

In a FREE COUNTRY, that's MY FLUID, and I have a RIGHT to do with it whatever I want.

In Communist Paradise, you do what your betters in the Commission for State Security tell you.

Obedience is for Slaves and Dogs.

Then you have the option not to fly on a commercial fight leaving from the US. It seems rather simple.

You got that right, Aileen!  And no where is she reported as being hysterical,
upset yes, but most of us would be in that situation.

No. In a "free country", you have the right to respect your fellow residents and they have the right to respect you. So please keep your fluid to yourself, you filthy wanker. We are tired of finding it in our shoes, hair and luggage.

Fondly,

The TSA

Why would you be upset the rules are posted everywhere? She had a sippy cup with more than 3 ounces of fluid in it, not in a qurt size plastic bag, she was in violation of the rules. God forbid there had been something in that cup and they let her through then you would all be screaming about how lax secuity is and how your neighbor got an uzi on a flight. If you want to fly on a commercial airliner in the US there are rules, don't like the rules, charter a plane or rent a car

of the diaper to find the real weapons of mass destruction!

Being detained long enough to miss a flight and threatened with arrest is over-kill.
All that needed to happen is for the sippy cup to be empited.

I agree and that is exactly what they do. There is something else that happened that made them not just empty the sippy cup out and hand it back to her.

That being said, although many SS agents have huge egos, she should have known better.....EVERY federal agent goes through a training course on the procedures for flying as a SS agent.

Yah, something about this story doesn't sound right to me.  She's a former secret service agent.  They're chosen for their ability to deal with pressure and confrontation, yet we're supposed to believe that she went from being a quiet, competent former agent to the stereotype of a hysterical woman?

Who knows what really went on, but I find it hard to believe that a person hard-nosed enough to get into the secret service wasn't strong enough to deal with being denied a sippy cup.

Something doesn't add up.

The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR to

CAPTAIN JOSEPH J. FOSS
UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS RESERVE

for service as set forth in the following CITATION:

For outstanding heroism and courage above and beyond the call of duty as Executive Officer of a Marine Fighting Squadron, at Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands. Engaging in almost daily combat with the enemy from October 9 to November 19, 1942, Captain Foss personally shot down twenty-three Japanese planes and damaged others so severely that their destruction was extremely probable. In addition, during this period, he successfully led a large number of escort missions, skillfully covering reconnaissance, bombing and photographic planes as well as surface craft. On January 15, 1943, he added three more enemy planes to his already brilliant successes for a record of aerial combat achievement unsurpassed in this war. Boldly searching out an approaching enemy force on January 25, Captain Foss led his eight F4F Marine planes and four Army P-38s into action and, undaunted by tremendously superior numbers, intercepted and struck with such force that four Japanese fighters were shot down and the bombers were turned back without releasing a single bomb. His remarkable flying skill, inspiring leadership and indomitable fighting spirit were distinctive factors in the defense of strategic American positions on Guadalcanal.

/S/ Franklin D. Roosevelt
