His biggest crime was cash     Oh, that's right, this is the new America where it is illegal to have more than the guy in the next seat!

TSA is like mall security guards.  There are a few good ones out there, and they really do a good job. However, the majority are authority freaks and cop wanna be's that can't cut it.  They not only do a crappy job, but they ruin the reputation of the few good, and ruin the lives of honest Americans

Agreed BUT they had armed, uniformed LEOs withthem.  That was the voice that was doing all of the questioning!

No, I'm pretty sure it was armed uniformed TSA agents

Do I have the right to remain silent Mr. TSA/LEO?  Take me to the station.,....However long it took to get this behind him,.... he wasn't charged with anything was he?,.....

Kinda makes you say Hmmmmm,....

They were/are gov't thugs. Kudos to this young man who kept his cool, remained polite/respectful even when they didn't deserve it.

And I hope the Judge keeps a big bright light on these thugs/bastards.

It was the TSA that was unprofessional here.....

Nope, LEOs!  Listen to all of the (gulp) clip.

Nope, LEOs!  Listen to all of the (gulp) clip.

I agree.  Even the short clip led me to believe that it was TSA that started it, but LE was involved.  And it was LE that was threatening him with DEA back at the station. 

My take was it was TSA going over the line and wondering what the hell they got themselves into, but LE jumped all over it.

However, who ever it was that stopped them on the way out knew what was going on and stopped it all.  I'm thinking that once LE hauled him out TSA reported it with all the info, and cooler heads prevailed.

It's the same mentality that seized guns from law abiding citizens after Hurricane Katrina, the same mindset that didn;t allow a man who ran a red light to be with his mother in law when she died....

The same mindset that is eroding our civil liberties slowly,....

I respect LEO's and the TSA, they do a tough job. However,

I carry cash, and where does the threshold lie for someone to get suspicious at the airport?  $350.00,...$500, $1000, $5000?

If I have no "contraband", no warrants, no nothing like this man had, It's none of their damn business how much cash I have., and I am NOT obligated to answer their questions,...

Run your back ground check, terrorist "watch" list.,...etc,..., and let me catch my lame flight.
