I'm with Drew. Using a temperature probe as a foot step on nine airplanes, grounding them all, tops the list this year.

"Just following routine procedures, the TSA spokesman said. Did nothing wrong."

I thought they were here to protect us?

Hey, I have some advice for all the less than intelligent people that are complaining about the TSA...you in no way are obligated to fly. There are procedures that are in place for a reason. It is better to err on the side of caution. If that laptop that looked suspicious or the lady with a baby that they just let go because they do not meet the "profile" did have a bomb you would bitch about the fact that they are not checking everybody/everything that came through the checkpoint. Remember how everybody felt after 9/11. Everybody was happy with the extra security measures. Now that years have gone by, people are falling into the "USA's invincible" mode once again.
