They bought the drinks at the shops in the terminal dumbass.

Totalitarian police state governments exist too. Should we just gladly decide to live under one? This is the type of stuff that happens when they're ramping up.

lol don't open it until you get on the plane and instead shove it in your carry-on? I mean, I know people complain about minor inconveniences but this is hilarious. Totalitarian police state? Please, this is first world problems to a hysterical degree. A priviledged person like you should go to something like North Korea if you want to see an example of totalitarian police state.

Just give up, Al. He thinks people should do things to get arrested to stand up to them over this. :lol:

Civil disobedience can be a valid method of protesting and inciting action to accomplish an endgoal (take Ghandi, for instance). Now having said that, personally speaking I'll be civilly disobedient when it's something worth getting arrested over. This is not.

Oh yeah, he's the conspiracy nut too, right? Wouldn't be surprised if hartstick is a 15 year old.

27 years old. Maybe someday you'll learn that the world isn't the simple place that you think it is.

Who cares. Why do you even need to bring a drink with you on an airplane? Your fatass can wait until you land to fill your body with sugary garbage.

Or just wait till you get on the flight.

Alcohol on the plane is more expensive than in the terminal.

I'd let them swab my drink no problem. I want to be safe and keep on going with my day.PonchoTaco

And that's why you're called a sheep. And that's why freedoms are disappearing by the day. People can talk about it's all just minor inconveniences all they want, but whatever. Just wait. Don't say no one warned you.

They were trying to. The TSA is approaching people in the seating areas near the gates. The customer literally went to one of the vendors in the airport, bought a drink, sat down, and was accosted by the TSA so they could stick a swap in their drink.

There's another issue that's not really being discussed here. When the TSA sticks a swap in your drink, you don't know what's on that swab. You don't know where it's been. Do you really want to drink that after they've done their little "test?" I sure as hell wouldn't. If they approached me I'd chug my drink really fast and hand them the empty cup.

Lol.. I have no idea. I just don't want anybody sticking foreign objects in my drink. It's just a bad idea.

I think people should start accidentally spilling their drinks on TSA agents.

I don't know about your, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. If someone is hiding some chemical that could potentially become a danger to the people on the plane, I want the owener of the drink and the drink itself to be off the plane. But that's my opinion.

So you would rather have someone potentially bringing a liquid bomb on a plane? Its not hard to do... you can Google how. I, for one, feel a lot safer having TSA at the airports I go to. I've only been pat down once (out of 30 flights), and its nothing sexual, so I don't understand why parents get upset having their children pat down.

Hating on the TSA actually seems to be more common than welcoming them, so you are in fact the sheep.

I'd rather have an effective security than one that costs an insane amount of money while also being entirely ineffective and/or useless (They have yet to catch a terrorist).

If they believe they have a reason/need to do this, then perhaps the security check should be better...

Sorry, I like to have drink more often than once every 14 hours. Especially in the dry air of an airplane

I don't mind airport security, but i hate the attitude that it approaches people with. It seems like for airports and the staff, it's less about safety of other passengers and more paranoia that everyone could be a terrorist. All the security at every airport i've been too looks and talks so hostile like everyone is up to no good.FrostyPhantasm
Welcome to 2001. The threat of terrorism is a billion dollar industry. Fear is just another commodity.
