I am very interested to see Nic's response to this. From her blog entry, her "reality" of what happened during this situation was very different from, well... reality. - Shannon in CO Tomas said... If indeed that is the woman and child involved in the story, the video does not match in any way the verbal story she told. Thank you for posting the video, Bob! Even earlier I was wondering about some of what appeared to be discrepancies in her story. Take care, Tom Amanda said... Even though her claim of the baby being taken was not correct, the process took way to long and was completely inefficient. Your agents seems to care less that she was with a baby and intentionally worked at a snail's pace. TSA is there to protect us, not use travelers as a means to feel almighty and powerful. As a mother who has traveled with a child, I too would be upset if my screening took close to 8 minutes! Do they not teach common sense and efficiency in the two-week agent course?
