When cop touches you, searches your car or gives you a ticket you always know why and have his shiel number. When paramedic treats you there is always shield number on paper work. When sanitation man issues you a summons for wrong garbage there is always identification number on paper work. Everything has shields, names and serial numbers... except TSA.

When I arrived at the destination I opened my backpack and found a note from TSA that my pack was searched. Don't even want to know why since that's their secret. But I would like to know who exactly searched my pack. Note was just a piece of paper with no name, shield or serial number. I want to know a shield or name or whatever of a guy who went thru my pack. After all annonymous invasion of privacy is not something that I like. What if something went missing or their repacking skills caused stuff to be damaged? WHo do I blame?

Now who can I approach about that?

Sounds like a job for your Senator. Clinton? Schumer? Maybe you are better off writing your congressman.

If it makes any kind of sense, do you think TSA would even consider it?

Not only would you probably get the same result as telling the brick wall <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />, but they would probably 'flag' you as a trouble maker and give you that extra scrutiny when flying....

anonymous invasion of privacy


That's what our current life and times are all about. Living in these United States seems to be synonymous with "implied consent."
