Beating the TSA: How a determined passenger spent hours arguing his rights before

Excerpt:

As a US citizen, I have the right to move freely within my country as long as I can demonstrate proof of citizenship and have demonstrated no reasonable cause to be detained.’

As the situation escalated further airport police were called and more senior TSA officials but Mr Kernan refused to back down, remaining calm throughout.

Eventually causing a stand-off between police and TSA officers over who should resolve the situation, Mr Kernan was told by a superviser: ‘Here’s what we’re going to do. I’m going to escort you out of the terminal to the public area.

‘You are to stay with me at all times. Do you understand?’

He was then escorted by the police and no less than 13 TSA officer through security without a hand laid on him.

We walk over to the staff entrance and he scans his badge to let me through. We walk down the long hallway that led back to the baggage claim area. We skip the escalators and moving walkways.’

He was then waved away by annoyed officers and said: ‘In order to enter the US, I was never touched, I was never “Backscatted,” and I was never metal detected.

‘In the end, it took 2.5 hours, but I proved that it is possible. I’m looking forward to my next flight on Wednesday.’

From Jean Stoner:

In other words WHAT THE HECK WAS SCANNING HIM ALL ABOUT ANYWAY? He was getting off a flight arrived from Paris. He didn’t get on another flight according to the article. He doesn’t fly again until next Wednesday.

Would you let these thugs do this to your child? I wouldn’t, not even if the child was grown.

Canadians outraged: Veiled Muslim women not required to lift veil, prove ID at airports

Excerpt:

The issue came to light through a video taken by Mick Flynn of Bradford, England. Flynn was boarding a flight at Montreal’s Trudeau International Airport when he witnessed two women with their faces covered board an Air Canada Heathrow-bound flight without being asked to remove their veils.

In fact, in the video that Flynn has posted online, a man traveling with the women hands in all the passports and is the only one to interact with airline staff while two veiled women simply walk through.

“I complained at the desk — and again as I boarded the plane — asking if the pilot was happy that two women boarded without being identified,” Flynn told QMI News Agency. “Both members of staff whom I spoke to were flustered and clearly embarrassed.”

Lilley and Bryn Weese write that Flynn’s communication with Air Canada and his video posting have resulted in a threatened lawsuit from the airline. As for answers from the company about security procedures, their response reveals holes in Canada’s air security.

“Airline passengers have already undergone multiple security checks before arriving at the boarding gate,” Air Canada spokesman Peter Fitzpatrick told QMI. “A final check is made at the gate prior to boarding in order to confirm passengers on the flight.”
