‘Naked American Hero’ Ordered To Pay $500 For TSA Protest, Promises Appeal

April 5, 2014 Lisa Simeone, www.abombazine.blogspot.com , ,
We have an update on the case of John Brennan, the man who stripped naked at a TSA checkpoint in April of 2012. We first wrote about Brennan here. We then provided updates here, where he said he wanted a trial, and here, where he was found Not Guilty of "public indecency." But not content with that ruling, the TSA pushed on, charging Brennan with "interefering with the screening process." This week, a judge sided with the TSA . . . and ordered a $500 fine, John Brennan plans to appeal.

More Stories From TSA Hell

Our whistleblower buddy Jason Harrington has written another exposé. We were the first site in the blabbosphere to publicize Harrington's TSA tell-all blog, called Taking Sense Away. That was two years ago. And we wrote about him several times thereafter. Since then, he's come out of hiding, first with a blockbuster cover story for Politico, and now with a follow-up: The Parable of the Mashed Potato Police. It is, as always with Jason, funny and biting. Readers of TSA News will recognize the idiocies, abuses, waste of money, and petty humiliations about which Jason writes, because we've been covering them all here for years. But there are still some delicious new tidbits to savor, beginning with the subject of the title.

A New TSA Harassment Coming: Searches To Leave The Airport

December 1, 2013 Lisa Simeone, tsanewsblog.com , ,
A few weeks ago I caught wind of another nifty whiz-bang airport innovation guaranteed to make your journey even more onerous than it already is. And of course, it’s brought to you by our trusty friends at the TSA. At Syracuse International Airport, you can’t leave — after you’ve gotten off the plane, collected your baggage, and are ready to hit the road — unless you pass through electronically controlled, wholly contained, glass portals. If you’ve ever been to a European bank, you know what these are. They hold only one person at a time. You step in, a cylindrical glass door locks around you, then when someone in the bank decides you’re not a bank robber, they release the lock and allow you to proceed. Same for the next person. Thus, only one person at a time can enter, not a slew of people all at once. This brilliant idea came to Syracuse with a $60 million price tag, part of an airport renovation. ‘We need to be vigilant and maintain high security protocol at all times. These portals were designed and approved by TSA which is important,’ said Syracuse Airport Commissioner Christina Callahan.
