Friday the 13th is real y'all

I always opt out of the full body scanner at airport security and *today* the post patdown residue check machine alerts on ME!

So now I'm forced to go into a windowless room with 4 TSA men so they can give me a *second* patdown as if the first one wasn't thorough enough?!?

And of course my flights are delayed so I won't be at my destination on time... Going on 3 hrs late now.

And it started as such a good day with my Saints agreeing to a contract with Drew Brees....

Anything sentence that has 4 TS men and second patdown needs further explanation. What did they do to you the second time that they didn't do to you the first?

Over my groin. I shit you not.

I asked to see the written policy for what they were doing and didn't give me anything. Basically told me to look on the website. Or file a complaint.

It took me an hour to calm down after all that.

I stand in the security line trying to make eye contact with any tsa that I can see. So far they've passed me straight through

This is serious business when you exercise your right to opt out of the full body scan.

You *will* get a pat down.

I've only once Jedi mind tricked them into letting me use the standard walk thru metal detector instead of the backscatter X-ray.
