95-year-old Air Force vet loses $300 during TSA pat-down
Omer Petti, a 95-year-old retired Air Force major, said he expected (http://www.wxyz.com/dpp/news/region/oakland_county/95-year-old-retired-air-force-major-loses-300-during-upsetting-encounter-with-tsa-agents) to set off metal detectors at San Diego International Airport. He and his 85-year-old travel companion have two replaced knees, a replaced hip and a pair of wheelchairs between them. What they didn't anticipate was being subjected to full-on "humiliating" TSA private-room pat-downs. "Do I look like a terrorist?" he asked.
Worst of all, the TSA agent made Petti empty his pockets, including a money-clipped $300, which had disappeared from the screening area by the time he was released. Petti has filed police reports and TSA paperwork but hasn't gotten any satisfactory answers -- or his money. "I think I was scammed," he said (http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20120418/OPINION03/204180345/1409/METRO/Seniors-get-TSA-runaround-lose-300).
