TSA agents intimidate reporter for filming

Basically they started berating him for filming them and posting it earlier. In essence due to the roll out of ground checkpoints across the USA and slowly going ultra police state on all of us. Welcome to the new reality. Hopefully they disband TSA soon.
TSA agent: “America is nothing, I don’t get paid from tax payers, I get paid by the federal government!”

The argument for permission before anything is that you could do nothing. Which is a circular way of saying we rule you obey and can't do anything about it. Sad but will change

I despise TSA as an organization. There are of course good and bad people within it. As far as the bad... I deal with some nearly on a daily basis. Puffed up with an imagined importance and on a power trip. I've come close a half-dozen times to simply losing control, but have avoided it so far because it'll be me who suffers for it in the end.

Keeping in mind I am a 737 pilot, in uniform, arriving to work...

TSA: "You can't take that pen knife into the secure area with you."

Me: "What am I going to do with it?"

TSA: "You might take control of an airplane with it."

Me: "Think about what you just said."
