Innocent until proven guilty, except where the Transportation Security Administration is concerned. I just "survived" another cross country airplane trip, and more than once the TSA goons interrogated me in a loud, belligirent and public manner about the prescription injections I have to carry - even though I had them in the original containers and a note from the doctor ... I was almost to the point of dropping to my knees and screaming, Nicht schissen!!!!!

Always file a complaint. It's the only way we have to fight these goons.

If a passenger feels he or she has been discriminated against or treated unfairly by federal security checkpoint personnel, contact the TSA hotline at 1-866-289-9673 or submit a complaint via email to <TellTSA@dhs.gov>."

Also, if you have a medical condition, you can avail yourself of other complaint avenues as it is considered a disability and/or contact you medical condition. national organization (such as the American Diabetes Association, for example) who will go to bat for you.

Just remember, these are the people that brought you the PATRIOT ACT, which you probably had no idea is really the U.S.A. P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act which really means:

Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001.

I wonder if HOMELAND SECURITY means

Happenstance Operation to Mitigate Existing Liberties And the Negative Democratic System by Encouring Complying Upstanding Resourceful Individuals To Yield.

Anyway, the best security is the security you never see.
