TSA Agent Admits Detaining People Is Not Really About Airline Safety

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

(Before It's News)

A TSA agent admits to detaining and keeping a passenger of a flight for finishing their drink instead of allowing the TSA to test it for explosives.

Video Description: This was inside the terminal at the Houston airport. I was not allowed to board a plane (even though I had already been through airport security) because I drank my water instead of letting the TSA “test” it.

The TSA agent finally admitted that it wasn’t because they thought I was a security risk it was because the TSA agent, Louis Godeaux, was mad at me!

I was able to get on the very next flight out of Houston and even managed an upgrade! (thanks United)

Sorry for crappy phone video-but the audio is what I wanted to post.

I know this is not really news (it seems like the TSA is retaliating all the time against people), but it was a little satisfying to get that statement on video.

Here’s more from Info Wars:

A TSA screener admitted to a woman traveling through Houston Airport that she was prevented from boarding her flight for retaliatory reasons as punishment for a bad attitude rather than any genuine security threat, after the woman refused to allow TSA agents to test her drink for explosives.

The audio and video in the clip above is scratchy, but the woman is heard saying, “Let me get this straight, this is retaliatory for my attitude, this is not making the airways safer it’s retaliatory.”

“It pretty much definitely is,” the TSA screener responds.

The incident began when the woman refused to allow TSA agents to carry out a controversial policy where they test drinks for explosives that are purchased by passengers after they have already passed through security.

“This was inside the terminal at the Houston airport,” the woman writes on her You Tube channel. “I was not allowed to board a plane (even though I had already been through airport security) because I drank my water instead of letting the TSA “test” it. The TSA agent finally admitted that it wasn’t because they thought I was a security risk — it was because they were mad at me!”
