TSA Lies About Bizarre “Freeze” Drill
Erroneously claims travelers are alerted before exercise

Following controversy over a You Tube video which shows the TSA’s bizarre “freeze” policy in action, the federal agency responded by lying about the nature of the drill, erroneously claiming that travelers are notified beforehand.
The footage shows travelers at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in Arizona being caught up in what the TSA calls “Code Bravo,” a suddenly announced drill whereby passengers who have already passed through security are required to “freeze” on command.
The You Tube user who uploaded the video commented, ” I suddenly found myself in a bunch of travelers who were being sharply told to “STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE! DON’T MOVE!”. A TSA employee was pointing his blue-gloved hand at anyone who moved a muscle (including airport workers) and barking these orders. Beyond him were two other agents doing the same thing to everyone in a 90-degree radius. The tension was rather palpable, as you might imagine. No explanation was given, no other words were spoken. No one moved a muscle. Parents grabbed their children. Anyone who fidgeted or made a step forward got yelled at.”
“Two minutes or so later, Mr. Gloved Hand brusquely waved everyone about their business (as seen in the tape)….After this, I walked into the terminal intersection they had cut off, expecting to see someone in handcuffs, face down on the carpet with a bunch of cops on him. Or at least ONE single police officer or security guard… but there were none. There was NO incident happening, whatsoever.”
TSA spokeswoman Kristin Lee admitted to the New York Times that travelers are not mandated to obey the order to “freeze”. The article highlights two separate occasions during which NY Times columnist Joe Sharkey experienced the same drill.
Drunk with power, that TSA thug.
