TSA Screener Assaults and Detains Passenger for “Offensive” Shirt

Offended by a passenger’s t-shirt that read, “Fuck TSA Security Theater, ” a Transportation Security Administration screener assaulted the passenger who was video recording before detaining him, claiming that photography of checkpoints is prohibited, single-handedly proving that the TSA will hire just about anybody.

TSA screener Raymond Evans also threatened to arrest the passenger, even though he has no such authority.

The incident took place at Sea-Tac Airport in Seattle on Christmas Eve. The video is long, but worth watching at least the first 20 minutes. Below is a timeline to help you navigate to the interesting points.

Police were called but they didn’t seem to have too much of an issue with the passenger, who uploaded the video to his Youtube account, leaving Evans to sort it out for himself.

At first, Evans vowed to not let the passenger enter the checkpoint, but police whispered something in his ear, which made him change his mind.

Even after Evans had read the TSA photo policy that the passenger handed him, he continued tried to harass him by sticking the policy in front of the camera, saying, “I have the right to do this.”

Evans said that started asking for a second piece of identification, even though the passenger had already shown his driver license upon entering the area.

Support our Mission

Help us build a database of bad cops

For almost 15 years, PINAC News has remained active despite continuous efforts by the government and Big Tech to shut us down by either arresting us for lawful activity or by restricting access to our readers under the pretense that we write about “social issues.”

Since we are forbidden from discussing social issues on social media, we have created forums on our site to allow us to fulfill our mission with as little restriction as possible. We welcome our readers to join our forums and support our mission by either donating, volunteering or both.

Our plan is to build a national database of bad cops obtained from public records maintained by local prosecutors. The goal is to teach our readers how to obtain these lists to ensure we cover every city, county and state in the country.

After all, the government has made it clear it will not police the police so the role falls upon us.

It will be our most ambitious project yet but it can only be done with your help.

But if we succeed, we will be able to keep innocent people out of prison.
