Take note frequent fliers: weather and mechanical problems aren't the only thing that will get you grounded these days. One passenger says she was detained by the Transportation Security Administration because of her "bad attitude."
She says the TSA agent wanted to make her pay for being rude to him and he didn't even deny it. He actually admits to that unfair treatment and she captures the unbelievable exchange on her cameraphone.
Along with the 22-second video, uploaded under the name "AirportVideoofTSA," the woman writes:
I was not allowed to board a plane (even though I had already been through airport security) because I drank my water instead of letting the TSA “test” it. The TSA agent finally admitted that it wasn’t because they thought I was a security risk-it was because the TSA agent, Louis Godeaux, was mad at me!
Honestly, with all the headaches involved with flying these days, I don't know anyone who doesn't have a bad attitude at the airport. If that is the new standard for TSA, they must be delaying hundreds if not thousands of people a day.
Being a bitch or bitchy does not give them the right to make you miss your flight. Some of these agents clearly are on a power trip. That’s why I smile no matter how annoying the screening process is. I remember traveling with my 6-month-old and them making me take off his Robeez to be inspected. Totally ridic, right? Yet some guy with a bomb in his underpants gets by. What kind of sense does that make?
Listen to the snarky exchange:
Who was more out of line -- the snarky passenger or the bitter TSA agent?

she was a bitch and deserves it. tsa is so nice i lost my dd birth certificate and almost missed my flight. after finding it i had 10 mins to get through security in san antonio or i would not make my flight tsa pushed us through and took me to my gate so i still got preboarding if you are nice and act like a lady every one will help you. btw i have my dd water bottles tested every time she knew the rule she should be on a no fly if thats how she wants to act. she might not be a threat but this is what we go through now in our country if you have a issue with that then find anouther way to travel.
I finish water bottles in security all the time. Also, if she had already been through security, the water bottle could only have been purchased in the terminal, which should already be cleared. Doesn't sound like the testing was necessary.
Well, of course, Anna. The power of the government should definitely be used to punish bitchiness. With ignorance like yours it's no wonder our country is hurtling towards catastrophe.
Lady leave your attitude at home and follow the rules and you would not of had a problem. If a person is being difficult they do not have to let you on the plane. if you are being belligerent on the ground it is not a stretch to assume you are going to cause an issue in the air.
Of course she is going to play the victim she recorded only that little bit? Someone just wants a payday.
Fuck her. Passengers give tsa shit all the time. Always smart asses and calling them perverts and just giving them hell for every little thing that happens at the airport.
Oh heaven forbid a passenger get a taste of their own medicide.
There is no rule that requires flyers to allow someone to dip a paper in the drink they purchased after going through TSA. Have any of you who think what this TSA employee did was right or that th woman got what she deserved ever even heard of the consitution? Or have any understanding at all of the concept of inalienable rights? Are you capable of thinking anything more substantive than "stupid bitch got what she deserved?" Or considering the implications of an action beyond the immediate response? Good heavens you guys make all women look like vapid morons.
