Here's an awesome TSA story for you:

Late last year while trying to fly out of LAX a TSA employee thought I was carrying a throwing star. They called the police, who correctly identified as a toy in seconds.

I thought the whole ordeal was over until I got a "notice of violation" in the mail from TSA 45 days later.

Now I'm banned from pre-check for three years, even though I have global entry and even though the fine was thrown out. It's a kangaroo court were the only two options are you pay the fine or they convert it to a warning.

Some shit head got a gold star for "finding a weapon" and I get fucked.

Please defund these 0-terrorist-catching losers.
