This article should cause your blood to boil! This is quoted from Ken Schramm from KOMO TV, Seattle, Washington.
"This isn't about how investigators were able to smuggle liquid explosives & detontaors past TSA screeners earlier this year.
It's about the atrocious treatment endured by some Fort Lewis soldiers who were escorting the remains of a collegue home to Virginia earlier this month.
Brief background: On the tarmac, an honor guard had been formed by Port of Seattle Police, Airport Fire & Rescue and military personnel as the soldier's body was placed on the plane.
A police officer then took the escort soldiers to security.
The TSA screener checked everyone's ID, including the police officer's, and then had the soldiers go through the metal detectors.
Their combat ribbons and medals set off the alarms.
So what does the TSA screener do?
He has the soldiers strip off their uniforms - in front of everyone - down to their T-shirts, pants, and socks.
Will someone please tell me what the Hell is wrong with these people?
How does some inept, insensitive idiot with the IQ of room temperature even get a TSA job?
The TSA screener should have been fired, he wasn't by the way.
And those soldiers deserve at least an apology."
