Meet Mikey, 8: U.S. Has Him on Watch List
I always thought that T.S.A. stood for Thousands Standing Around. I am beginning to think it also means Thousands of Stupid Answers.
How else can you explain a man who's father calls to report his son has a bomb and gets ignored. How else do you explain a terrorist who pays for an international flight with cash and has no luggage. How else do you explain a 2 year old boy getting questioned and patted down at airport security stations. I guess the T.S.A. can't tell the difference between an innocent 2 year old baby and an adult terrorist.
What do you do if you want to get off the list? You can file a complain and wait for years. With no guarantee that anything will happen. Or. You can change your name and get off the list instantly.
Of course the T.S.A. promises that things will get better real soon.
Aren't you glad the T.S.A. does NOT use racial profiling to focus on real terrorists wearing bombs, so that they can spend more time patting down and questioning 2 year old boys?
