I was violated by the TSA

So let me preference this by saying, I am not bashing anyone's lifestyle, people are free to do as they please. However, some folks are meant for certain jobs. That being said, let me begin my story. Today I was flying home and like everyone I was faced with jumping through the usual hoops that the TSA forces on weary travelers. Take off your suit coat, take off your shoes, take out your lap top, remove everything from your pocket, blah blah, blah blah just strip down buck naked. Well I made up that last part but you get the drift. Being that I had been traveling since 6:15am, I was tired and well, I made the dreadful mistake of not removing my belt and proceeded to walk towards the death ray machine. As I stood in the machine and the glass doors moved around me I thought, damn, I forgot to take off my belt, this will not end good. Well I didn't just think of the belt, I was also thinking of how many x-rays were going into my body, why do I have to hold my arms up like I am being stuck up. But I digress. As I began to step out of the machine I was told that my torso had been flagged...damnnitt I knew it. So I did what every logical person would do, I pulled off the belt and handed it over to the agent. In my mind, I thought, now they are going to make me go back through this damn machine and thus will continue their efforts to deep fry my pancreas, liver, kidneys etc. This is the point where the comedy began, I was informed that my infraction would result in a full body pat down. Now let me pause this story, becuase I think its important to note who and what is telling me about the pat down. Since words won't work in some instances, sometimes a picture speaks volumes:

well it was one of these guys...let's move on. So this dude begins by rubbing my arms, I am uncomfortable at this point, but what can I do. Next he lets me know he needs to pat down my chest. Okay so dude does 4 individual rubs on my chest...at this point being uncomfortable is now moving towards becoming angry. Only if it had stayed at that point. This dude begins to reach inside my waistband, yes my waistband...so I blanked for about 12 seconds and when I came back to, I had his arm jacked up behind his head. I was like oh. oh, looks like I am about to go to jail......well I will stop the story here, because it becomes a bunch of "look I didn't mean too's, and he provoked me and come on I just want to get homes.....

At any rate, I thought I would share, NOT EVERYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO WORK EVERY JOB, DISCRIMINATION BE DAMNED....

I was flying to minnesota and I forgot to take out my 12" hunting knife from my book bag (I went camping 1 week prior). TSA agent pulled me aside and we both started looking for my knife. We found it, he took the knife and wished me a safe flight. I was surprised how easy he let me go... because I had 2 indian dudes with me that look like Pakistanis... Go figured.

people have more rights at airports/tsa encounters than they are aware of. probably should have asked the nature of the pat down, and also for another agent.

hopefully nothing happened to you [legally, physically, or psychologically]. i will say this, though, don't try flying any time soon.

    • I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever
    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
