Comments about ‘TSA backs up most of Chaffetz's account’

LOSER with a capital L!

Can we let this die? Let go Jason. This story is hearsay. Can you get back to your job?

You are the loser for not recognizing that Chaffetz is standing up for all of our freedoms by opposing this type of invasive search. You might as well be saying, "Go ahead, abuse me!" This procedure is frankly too much.

Somehow I believe 2 people over one congressman. This guy sounds like a jerk.

So now that the tape shows the original TSA account is a complete lie, they back off and describe s story that cannot be contradicted by video evidence.

How rare to see a politician being the more honest party in an argument!

Wow Jas.... the years have not been kind! I am sure he is too busy to hit the gym, but dang!

As far as the 'incident' I am not surprised the report backs him up. Also not surprised he used the S-bomb on them.

So Mr. Morals Chaffetz was swearing and acting like a jerk, no surprise.

So many people believe and praise this foul mouth politician.

Looks like Jason deems it fit to swear at these people and treat them like non humans.

One of the officers is an Iraq war vet but I guess it is ok to treat veterans of our wars like garbage Jason?

Yes Jason, we know who you are, someone that likes to swear and throw a fit until he gets his way.

Some people don't know the definition of the word option. Going through that machine is an option. Even if they ask you to go though it you can say no

You know what I see? I see a congressman who does not feel he should adhere to the laws everyone else does.

He's against the 'strip down' machine? Fine. Submit to the pat-down.

(By the way, the 'strip down' machine? It xrays your body to enough detail so you apear almost nude. You don't have to take off any clothing and the TSA agents only see it. And it's optional.)

But, oh no! I'm Chaffetz. I'm special!

Sounds like the mayor who didn't want his son ticketed by a cop.

Lot's of Utah people in power seem to be abusing it.

Who votes for this idiot?

anonymous you need are stupid iraq are as dumb as you they are not so special just looser!!!!!!

For those who are unfamiliar with the Steven Bierfeldt case, the TSA often plays Barney Fife, without the comedy.

The TSA previously claimed the House Rep voluntarily entered the body scan line voluntarily but is now acknowledging that he was taken out of a regular line by a TSA agent. Interesting--this is the only thing that can be verified without audio.

We need more airline travelers to be jerks to the screeners when they barrel over the line of decency.

Apparently sleeping on a cot in your office causes weight gain. Who knew.

I certainly know who this foul-mouthed liar is and will not be voting for him in the next election.

The report backs up Chaffetz? No, it just confirms how high and mighty he thinks he is. He can't even control his temper or his mouth.

"Do you know who I am?"

Seriously? You have done nothing for the people of Utah but be an embarrassment.

The TSA is a big joke. Now not only do they get to go though everything I travel with, and through away my water and lip balm, but now they get to see me naked. When are we going to wake up?

I like what Benjamin Franklin said, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

I am glad someone is standing up to these airport thugs.

We should all learn to do what we're told, just like the good little sheep we've been raised to be. Law enforcement and military are only one notch below deity. Do what you're told and nobody gets hurt.

To Dan Tripp...sorry are you speaking english?

You can say what you want about me but for heaven's sake, make some sense.

One of the TSA officers is an Iraq war vet and Jason deems it fit to act like a jerk to all of them.
