TSA Fascism

The TSA are a cadre of fascists. I remember trying to get my 82-year old Dad through security in the San Antonio airport. He had to go through separately. I went through easily, but they had four people working on him for several minutes. Four. Where is an 82-year old man who is wheelchair bound going to go? When I inquired, rather meekly I thought, the supervisor literally started screaming at me and threatening to remove me from the airport. Of course, I backed down. What's the point of fighting with these power mad losers? They are poorly trained, have no manners, and stop absolutely nothing at the checkpoints, nothing except items such as badly serrated knives and 5 oz shampoo bottles. Frankly, it's taxpayer boondoggle and needs to be overhauled.
