    Last time I flew I started taking my electronics out of my carry-on (which was filled with a ridiculous amount of electronics) and a TSA agent told me to stop. I showed her inside the bag and said “you’re not gonna be able to see everything unless I take it out” and she just rolled her eyes and repeated herself. Then they had to take my bag and individually swipe everything for bomb residue because they weren’t able to see everything with the scanner…

            If the lesson is supposed to be that I should put the electronics in my checked bag, then no. I’d rather keep them in the bag I have with me.

                Cool I see you’re doing your part to make sure our society mistrusts and discriminates against autistic people whenever possible

          The lesson is that you know it’s a sham, the TSA knows it’s a sham, but you’re intent in following through
